RESUMO
Introducción: el síndrome de Burnout se define como una respuesta al estrés laboral crónico, integrado por actitudes y sentimientos negativos hacia las personas con las que se trabaja y hacia el propio rol profesional. Se considera como la fase avanzada del estrés profesional. Objetivos: evaluar la prevalencia del síndrome de Burnout en médicos residentes del área de medicina interna en un hospital de tercer nivel. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal mediante una encuesta en línea a través de Google Forms™, a médicos residentes del área de medicina interna aplicando el test Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Resultados: de los 60 residentes, que incluyen a los de primer, segundo y tercer año, se obtuvo una participación de 71,6%. El 58,1% corresponde al sexo femenino y 41,9% al sexo masculino. El grupo etario con mayor participación (79,1%) tiene 26 a 30 años. Si se tiene en cuenta la presencia de 2 de 3 variables (cansancio emocional, despersonalización, falta de realización personal), la prevalencia de síndrome de Burnout fue 46,5% (20 de 43 encuestados). Conclusión: la prevalencia de síndrome de Burnout en base a 2 de sus 3 criterios fue 46,5%.
Introduction: Burnout syndrome is defined as a response to chronic work stress, made up of negative attitudes and feelings towards the people with whom one works and towards one's own professional role. It is considered as the advanced phase of professional stress. Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of Burnout syndrome in internal medicine residents in a tertiary level hospital. Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out by means of an online survey through Google Forms™ applied to resident physicians in the area of ââinternal medicine applying the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) test. Results: Of the 60 residents, which include first, second and third-year students, 71.6% participated, 58.1% correspond to women and 41.9% to men. The age group with the highest participation (79.1%) is between 26 and 30 years old. If the presence of 2 of 3 variables is taken into account (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, lack of personal fulfillment), the prevalence of Burnout syndrome was 46.5% (20 of 43 respondents). Conclusion: The prevalence of Burnout syndrome based on 2 of its 3 criteria was 46.5%.
RESUMO
Eosinophilia of prematurity is commonly seen in premature infants as a result of many causes, although a sustained or progressive form is uncommon. Different pathophysiological hypotheses include decreased circulating adrenal steroids and foreign antigen exposure. We present here a case of prolonged extreme eosinophilia in a preterm infant complicated by thrombocytopenia. The patient's eosinophil count reached 91.48 × 10(9)/L and remitted with nonspecific treatment. A comprehensive clinical, laboratory, and radiologic assessment is usually required in the context of a hypereosinophilic preterm infant to recognize the triggering etiology. Nonspecific treatment was the modality of choice because of unclear etiology in our case. Preterm infants with blood eosinophilia might not need immunomodulatory treatment despite extremely high absolute eosinophil counts.
