Abstract:
Burnout syndrome is one of the main problems among healthcare personnel. In resident physicians, this syndrome can affect both their clinical performance and their personal well-being.
Objective:
To determine the relationship between self-efficacy and burnout syndrome in resident physicians at hospitals in Metropolitan Lima.
Method:
An observational, analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample consisted of 521 resident physicians from different specialties, selected using non-probability sampling. The General Self-Efficacy Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory were used.
Results:
Self-efficacy was inversely correlated with emotional exhaustion (rho = -0.387; p < 0.001), depersonalization (rho = -0.347; p < 0.001), and global burnout syndrome (rho = -0.453; p < 0.001), and directly correlated with personal accomplishment (rho = 0.530; p < 0.001). The structural equation model showed an excellent fit and confirmed a direct effect of self-efficacy on the dimensions of burnout.
Conclusions:
Higher levels of self-efficacy are associated with lower levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and overall burnout, as well as greater personal accomplishment in resident physicians.
