CABRERA-ECHEVERRIA, Sofia Vanessa; RODRIGUEZ-PLASENCIA, Adisnay y ROMERO-FERNANDEZ, Ariel José. Estimation of Burnout Syndrome in intensive care nursing staff. Salud y Vida [online]. 2025, vol.9, n.esp1, pp.284-292. Epub 30-Oct-2025. ISSN 2610-8038. https://doi.org/10.35381/s.v.v9i1.4668.
Introduction:
The COVID-19 pandemic destabilised global health systems, significantly impacting the mental health of healthcare professionals, especially those working in intensive care units. Burnout syndrome is a response to chronic work-related stress characterised by emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and reduced personal fulfilment.
Objective:
To estimate the prevalence of burnout syndrome among nursing staff in the intensive care unit at Nova Clínica del Valle, Quito, Ecuador.
Method:
Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted on 17 intensive care nursing professionals. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaire was used to assess the three dimensions of the syndrome: emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and personal fulfilment. Sociodemographic variables and their association with the dimensions of burnout were analysed.
Results:
76.5% of the participants were women, with an average age of 37 years.
