Résumé fourni par la source

Background: Burnout is associated to physical, psychological, and occupational risks in healthcare workers.Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and associated factors of burnout syndrome in healthcare workers with a gender perspective.Methods: Cross-sectional study, work exposures (environmental, workspace, mobbing, and sexual harassment), occupational quality of life (CVT-GOHISALO test), and burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory) were evaluated in 1779 workers from a third-level hospital in the period 2013-2018.Results: About 27% of workers presented burnout, from which 69% were women (p = 0.006).Low occupational quality of life, mobbing, and domestic violence were risk factors for burnout in both genders.Warehouse workers (38%), medical residents (36%), physicians (32%), and nurses (32%) had the highest burnout frequency.Women reported higher negative occupational factors, mobbing (6% vs. 4%), workplace sexual harassment (1.2% vs. 0.3%), verbal (10% vs. 7%), and physical (1.4% vs. 0.2%) domestic violence than men.Conclusion: Burnout was present in a third of healthcare workers; the most affected groups were warehouse workers, medical residents, physicians, and nurses.Mobbing, domestic violence, and low occupational quality of life predicted burnout.Women were more affected by burnout and negative occupational factors.
