【 摘 要 】

Objective The Covid-19 pandemic has had consequences on the mental health of health personnel, a vulnerable population that is on the front lines of attention. Long working hours, as well as the fear of getting sick and transmitting the virus to their families, generate high levels of anxiety and burnout. The objective of the present study is to evaluate the presence of burnout and anxiety in health personnel during the Covid-19 pandemic.Methods The Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Hamilton anxiety scale were distributed electronically and prospectively to 566 health workers in Colombia from March to April 2020. Additionally, age, level of schooling, marital status, occupation, source of income, type of contract, and the number of jobs and working hours were evaluated.Results A total of 566 health professionals were evaluated, 60.8% of whom were women, and 39.2% of whom were men. The sample was composed of 85.3% of doctors, 9.2% of nurses, and the other 5.5% corresponded to administrative staff, dentists, and paramedics. Of the aforementioned, 19.3% had 3 or more jobs. The survey reported high levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, with low levels of personal fulfillment. Additionally, mild anxiety was evident.Conclusions One of the most important consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic is the effects of burnout and anxiety in health personnel. Given our results, it is essential to highlight the importance of psychological support for health personnel in these times of fear and uncertainty.
