| description | Introduction: Studies show that stress is the second more important health problem related to the employment, which ratifies the existence of a high level of this disorder perceived by the sanitary professionals, being the nursing personnel one of the most affected in the working environment.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of the syndrome of professional decline in the nursing staff of the Surgical Unit at Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany Hospital in times of COVID-19.
Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out from August to December, 2020 that included 28 nursing professionals of the Surgical Unit of Dr. Joaquín Castillo Duany Teaching Clinical Surgical Hospital from Santiago de Cuba. The data were obtained of the surveys based on the MaslachBurnoutInventory questionnaire.
Results: The female sex prevailed among the interviewed professionals (85.7 %). Most of them had more than 10 years of working experience in the institution; 10.7 % of them had high level of depersonalization. Also, 14.3 % referred emotional fatigue and just 21.4 % felt that possessed a low personal realization. No worker was diagnosed with the syndrome of professional decline.
Conclusions: There is no homogeneity among the results obtained in diverse investigations regarding the existence of this disorder in the health staff. The above-mentioned could respond to particularities characteristic of the workspaces, to the type of hospital institution, the volume of medical assistance offered and to the presence or not of external stress agents as the COVID-19. |
