Abstract
The objective of this research is to describe the link between the middle and high levels of the Burnout Syndrome as well as the related personal and occupational factors of nursing staff who work in an operating theatre in the city of Montevideo, Uruguay. The method applied was quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional, with non-probabilistic sampling by convenience, according to inclusion criteria; it was carried out over October-December 2015. The bioethical aspects were preserved in accordance with to the Declaration of Human Rights of Helsinki, and the research was conducted in compliance with the decree of the Ministry of Health as to research on human subjects; also, the voluntary nature of participation was respected, and informed consent was requested. The findings obtained were that the age of the nursing professional with high and medium burnout syndrome fluctuates between 40 - 59; the older the person, the acuter the syndrome is. The sex of the nursing staff with the syndrome is female. As to the marital status, individuals tend not to live with a permanent partner and have one child. The higher the seniority, the higher the probability of suffering the syndrome, and seniority is also connected with having worked at the operation theatre for shorter periods than 10 years. Working at multiple jobs is a dominant occupational factor for the presence of the syndrome. It is concluded that middle and high level burnout syndrome in nursing staff, who work in areas of an operating theater, is closely linked to occupational and personal factors described by scientific evidence, for exposure to chronic stress at work.
