Abstract

Title: The Level of burnout and resilience in family and community medicine and nursing residents

Objectives: To determine level of burnout and level of resilience in family and community medicine and nursing residents

Design: Cross-sectional study by online survey

Location: Family and Community Multidisciplinary Teaching Units of Vigo, Zaragoza and Mallorca.

Number of subjects included: 177 Residents from the 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 promotions of the Teaching Units of Vigo, Zaragoza and Mallorca.

Variables: Level of "burnout" in personal spheres, work and relationship with patients through the self-completed Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Resilience measure, with abbreviated Connor-Davidson scale (10-itemCD-RISC) and sociodemographic and labor variables.

Results: 177 (67,6%) residents participated. 69.5% medicine. 82% were women. 40.3% from Aragon, 42.6% from Galicia and 17% from the Balearic Islands. With an average value of personal burnout of 44.7, work 47.3 and work with patients 37.9. The mean value of resilience was 26.6. For a significance level of α=0.05, in the bivariate analysis by sex there are no significant differences and by professional category there are significant differences with the variables age, working hours, patients per day, work burnout and work burnout with patients.
