Resumen
Introducción: El estrés laboral ha cobrado importancia durante la última década debido a que constituye un factor de riesgo para padecer otras enfermedades que incluso ponen en riesgo la salud y la vida del paciente, y afecta en su rendimiento y desempeño laboral. Su etapa crónica, conocida como Síndrome de Burnout describe a un trabajador colapsado que se tiene altos niveles de estrés en sus responsabilidades laborales, sin embargo, puede afectar no solo a su entorno laboral sino también en sus relaciones interpersonales. Objetivo: Identificar el nivel de estrés laboral en el personal médico del Hospital General Monte Sinaí durante la pandemia por COVID-19. Metodología: Con el uso del inventario de burnout de Maslach que consta de 22 ítems, más 7 preguntas sociodemográficas, se encuestó a 115 médicos que laboran en los diferentes servicios del Hospital General Monte Sinaí, dicho inventario nos orienta hacia la severidad de afectación de las tres dimensiones de Maslach: agotamiento emocional, despersonalización y realización personal. Resultados: Se determinó que las mujeres manifiestan mayor grado de estrés en comparación con los hombres; la adultez temprana (25-44 años) reportó el mayor índice de estrés. Los médicos residentes registraron mayor afectación de las 3 dimensiones de Maslach versus los médicos tratantes; la experiencia laboral mayor a 10 años fue inversamente proporcional a desarrollar burnout, siendo esto mucho más frecuente en aquellos médicos con pocos años de trabajo. Por último, los servicios de emergencia y el área de contingencia COVID 19 reportaron mayor incidencia de grados severos de estrés
Introduction: Work stress has gained importance during the last decade because it constitutes a risk factor for suffering from other diseases that even put the health and life of the patient at risk, and affects their performance and work performance. Its chronic stage, known as Burnout Syndrome describes a collapsed worker who has high levels of stress in their work responsibilities, however, it can affect not only their work environment but also their interpersonal relationships. Objective: Identify the level of work stress in the medical staff of the Mount Sinai General Hospital during the COVD-19 pandemic. Methodology: With the use of the Maslach burnout inventory, which consists of 22 items, plus 7 sociodemographic questions, 115 physicians who work in the different services of the Monte Sinaí General Hospital were surveyed, this inventory guides us towards the severity of affectation Maslach's three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal fulfillment. Results: It was determined that women show a higher degree of stress compared to men; early adulthood (25-44 years) reported the highest stress index. Resident physicians reported greater involvement of the 3 Maslach dimensions versus treating physicians; work experience of more than 10 years was inversely proportional to developing burnout, this being much more frequent in those doctors with few years of work. Finally, the emergency services and COVID 19 area reported a higher incidence of severe degrees of stress.
