| Yhteenveto: | Introduction: In 2019, a new disease associated with COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, causing severe acute respiratory syndrome. Due to the high spread of the virus, the increasing number of cases and deaths in the world has impacted the mental health of nursing, being a risk of developing burnout syndrome. Objective: To determine the association of burnout syndrome with sociodemographic and occupational characteristics in nursing professionals who provide care to patients with COVID-19. Methodology: Descriptive, cross-sectional study in 73 nurses, selected by non-probabilistic sampling. A sociodemographic and occupational data questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire were applied. Participants were informed about the objective of the study and the informed consent was requested. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with Pearson's Chi-square test. Results: 74% were female, mean age was 26.0 years, SD=4.9, 37% worked the night shift. 61.6% showed signs of burnout syndrome ranging from low to high grade. There was a prevalence of 4.1% of high burnout syndrome, 15.1% of a moderate burnout syndrome, 42.5% of a low burnout syndrome and 38.4% no signs of burnout syndrome. No association was found between burnout syndrome and sociodemographic characteristics (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Effective interventions to improve mental health are needed to alleviate nurse burnout and workplace stressors. |
