Abstract
Introduction: Burnout syndrome is generated against a chronic work stress on individuals working with people. It is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment. Aim: To assess Burnout in residents and otolaryngologists (ORL) in the country and establish a relationship between sociodemographic characteristics. Material and method: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was sent via email to all residents and ORL members of the Chilean Society of Otolaryngology, Medicine and Head and Neck Surgery (SOCHIORL). Fisher exact test was used to assess the association between qualitative variables. Results: Of a total of 432 members of SOCHIORL, 133 surveys were received, of which 117 were analysed. 100% of respondents had Burnout, either high or intermediate degree. Those with higher percentage of high Burnout are those between 25 and 35 years (53%) (p =0.03). The greatest degree of Burnout was observed in residents (57%) (p =0.03). Conclusion: Burnout syndrome is highly prevalent among ORL in Chile, especially in residents and young ORL with few years in the medical practice of the specialty. It is necessary to search for tools to confront and combat this reality.
