Resumen
El síndrome de burnout o síndrome del quemado hace referencia a un cuadro multidimensional de agotamiento físico y mental que repercute directamente en el desempeño de diversos profesionales, más comúnmente en quienes trabajan directamente con personas, como lo son por ejemplo los docentes, inmersos en un ambiente comúnmente considerado estresante y desilusionante, acompañado de crecientes demandas por parte del alumnado, las instituciones educativas y la sociedad en general.
Este estudio se centra en la incidencia del síndrome de burnout en docentes universitarios, quienes poseen una alta carga laboral debido a su rol dual tanto de investigadores como de docentes, que puede predisponerlos a un mayor desgaste físico y emocional.
Luego de aplicar el cuestionario Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) por medio de una encuesta online voluntaria a docentes de la educación superior, donde se consideró tanto el puntaje total como el individualizado por dimensión componente del síndrome, se concluye que si bien la incidencia de burnout fue nula, un análisis por dimensión muestra que existen elementos de riesgo que deben trabajarse tanto individualmente como a nivel de institución para prevenir que evolucionen en un síndrome de burnout.
The burnout syndrome is a multidimensional ailment with symptoms like physical and mental exhaustion that directly affects the performance of professionals in their daily activities, being more commonly affected helping services workers, for example teachers and academics, who are constantly dealing with a stressful and disappointing environment, responding to increasing demands of students, educational institutions and the society as a whole. This study explores the burnout syndrome incidence in higher education academics, which have high workloads as the outcome of a dual role as investigators and professors that can predispose them to a higher physical and emotional exhaustion. After applying the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) via a voluntary online poll and considering both the final score and the scores for each dimension that composes the syndrome, we concluded that even if the burnout incidence was null, an analysis per dimension shows that there are risk factors that should be addressed both individually and with the educational institutions to prevent them to evolve in burnout syndrome.
