Introduction:

the specialization period of doctors is a stage that implies a high prevalence of stress and can trigger burnout syndrome.

Objective:

to identify the risk factors for burnout syndrome in Peruvian residents.

Methods:

an analytical cross-sectional study was carried out based on the secondary analysis of data from the 2016 National Health User Satisfaction Survey, which included 332 residents who worked in the Constitutional Province of Callao and the 24 departments of Peru. The independent variables were obtained from questionnaire No. 2, and the dependent variable was measured with the Maslach Inventory (item 50 in chapter XI of questionnaire No. 2). The multivariate analysis included the Poisson regression model with robust variance to determine the association between the variables.

Results:

the multivariate analysis confirmed that in whom the time elapsed from the degree to the moment of the survey was less than 6 years (PR = 2.93; 95 % CI = 1.59-5.39) and between 6 to 10 years (PR = 2.28; 95 % CI = 1.21-4.30); as well as in those with workloads that did not give them time for their personal and family life (PR = 2.45; 95 % CI = 1.72-3.50), in those who reported having a disease caused and / or aggravated by work (PR = 2.21; 95 % CI = 1.63-2.99) and those who had been victims of threats in their workplace had a higher risk of developing burnout syndrome.

Conclusions:

the work overload that unbalances the relationship between work life and personal / family life and the suffering of psychological violence in the workplace, especially when the resident is in the first ten years of professional practice and in the presence of some morbidity increase the risk of burnout worker syndrome.
