Síndrome de Burnout en el personal de salud que atiende en el Centro de Especialización de Tratamiento a Personas con Consumo problemático de Alcohol y otras Drogas (CETAD) Libertad, en el periodo mayo a septiembre 2020

Abstract

This investigation assesses the burnout level burnout of the workers of the CETAD Libertad rehabilitation center in Quito. We start with a theoretical panorama of the syndrome that establishes a clear definition of it. We then raise the problem inherent to rehabilitation centers and proceed to a field study in this center. The tools used were the Inventory of Burnout de Maslach (MBI) and a semi- structured interview for the workers of CETAD Libertad. The results show that contrary to what was expected, the caregivers of the center do not reflect any symptoms of burnout and have a high personal fulfillment. It is concluded with the idea that this personal fulfillment is also typical of health centers since there is a great commitment and visible results. It is also thanks to this aspect that caregivers are protected from personal fatigue. The work ends with a reflection on the influence of Covid-19 on the results of this research.
