Background: The burnout syndrome is defined as an inadequate response to chronic job stressors. In the last years the burnout syndrome has acquired importance. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate the prevalence
and psychosocial factors associated with the burnout syndrome in family doctors and specialists which work in several institutions in Manizales, Caldas, and Virginia, Risaralda. The questionnaire evaluated demographic factors, prevalence of burnout syndrome,
family functioning and personal relationships. Results: 227 physicians were evaluated, (132 family and 95 specialists). A burnout frequency was found of 17.6%, 26.4% with high exhaustion, 26.1% presented depersonalization and 7.2% of low personal fulfillment. A significant relationship between burnout and extra work activity was found (p= 0.039), observing that the burnout syndrome occurs in 25.8% of physicians who do
not perform any activity outside work during the week and in 14.3% of the physicians who engaged activities outside work. A significant relation (p = 0.009) was also found with family functioning, observing that 37.5% of the physicians who have moderate dysfunction tend to present burnout syndrome. Conclusions: The burnout syndrome is common in this population, and is related to family functioning and the number of hours dedicated to activities outside work.
