Objective:
To evaluate the risk of Burnout in the health professionals of the Huesca University Hospital, 50 years after its inauguration, to investigate the variables related to the work motivation of the hospital health personnel and to assess the predisposing and protective factors of the risk of Burnout.
Material And Methods:
An observational, analytical, prospective and unicentric study was conducted from September 2017 to April 2019, evaluating all the health professionals who worked at the Hospital San Jorge de Huesca (n=209).
Results:
The mean age was 42.86 years. 72.2% were women. 12.4% had moderate risk of burnout. There was 12.4% of high emotional exhaustion, 36.8% of high depersonalization and 44.5% of low personal accomplishment. Burnout was statistically significant associated with the professional category (P=.010), work experience (P=.026), hours of work per week (P=.036), choice of the same profession (P=.001) and recommendation to the offspring (P<.001).
Conclusions:
One tenth of the sample had a moderate risk of burnout. Almost half of the health workers confirmed a high degree of satisfaction with the work environment and the majority expressed an adequate use of well-being strategies and a high degree of autonomy, recognition and satisfaction at work.
