Abstract
This study analyzes the influence of Burnout syndrome on the family environment of the health personnel at the Santa Ana Center, Manabí, given the increasing prevalence of stress and its impact on the lives and health of these professionals. The goal is to deeply understand the impact of this syndrome at both individual and family levels to underpin the development of preventive and therapeutic interventions. In this socio-critical, non-experimental, and cross-sectional descriptive study, Burnout among health workers is examined using theoretical and empirical methods to analyze variables such as age, gender, and family functionality. The study population comprises the complete staff of the center, with a selected sample of 51 individuals. Instruments such as the Maslach Burnout Scale and the APGAR Family Functionality Scale were used, and the data was analyzed with Microsoft Excel and SPSS. The results show that Burnout is a pervasive problem affecting health professionals in multiple facets of their lives, including their physical and emotional well-being, job performance, and family relationships. Significant differences were found in the prevalence and severity of Burnout according to age and gender, suggesting the need for interventions adapted to different demographic groups. The importance of family functionality in managing Burnout is also highlighted. The research concludes that an effective, evidence-based intervention that considers individual, family, and work needs is required to address the problem of Burnout in the health sector.
