RESUMEN
Objective: To describe audiological symptoms, audiometric profile, and distortion product otoacoustic emission in symptomatic patients recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection (positive RT-PCR test) and asymptomatic patients (negative RT-PCR test). Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted using data obtained from clinical charts, physical examination, audiometry, and distortion product otoacoustic emission on 40 patients [case patients (CP)] recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection diagnosed by a positive RT-PCR test and 22 asymptomatic participants with a negative RT-PCR test [non-case (NC)]. Results: Sixty-two patients (mean age: 31.1 and 28.2 years in the CP and NC groups, respectively) were included. All participants were young without significant comorbidities, risk factors for hearing loss or otological history. Vertigo (5%), tinnitus (17.5%) and aural fullness/hearing loss (35%) were found in the CP group. A statistically significant difference was found in specific frequencies (1000, 4000, and 8000 Hz) and pure tone average (low and high conversational frequencies with increased threshold in the PC group compared with the NC group), which was not found in distortion product otoacoustic emission. Conclusion: Audiovestibular symptoms are frequent in symptomatic patients recovering from SARS-CoV-2 infection. SARS-CoV-2 infection was consistently associated with an increased audiometric hearing threshold at specific frequencies and low tone average.
RESUMEN
Introducción y objetivo: El síndrome burnout o síndrome de desgaste profesional, fue descrito por Freudenberger, psiquiatra psicoanalista norteamericano en 1974, y empleado públicamente por primera vez por Cristina Maslach en 1976 para referirse a una situación cada vez más frecuente entre trabajadores de los servicios humanos, que por la naturaleza de su trabajo, debían mantener un contacto directo y continuo con la gente, desgastándose profesionalmente tras meses o años de dedicación. En los 80, Maslach creó un instrumento para su valoración, el Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), con 3 versiones, una de los cuales tiene como objetivo las personas que trabajan en el sector de servicios de la salud, que valora 3 dimensiones: agotamiento emocional, despersonalización y realización personal en el trabajo, que sigue vigente y es considerado el instrumento más utilizado y acertado para el diagnóstico de la enfermedad.El objetivo de nuestro estudio es determinar la frecuencia y factores asociados del síndrome de desgaste profesional en médicos especialistas y estudiantes de posgrado en Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reconstructiva en Colombia.Material y método.Estudio de corte transversal durante el XX Curso Internacional de Cirugía Plástica Estética de la Sociedad Colombiana de Cirugía Plástica, Estética y Reconstructiva (SCCP) de septiembre 2018 en Barranquilla. Solicitamos consentimiento informado y utilizamos el cuestionario Maslach Burnout Inventory y un cuestionario sociodemográfico para evaluar los factores asociados con el síndrome. Definimos el burnout o síndrome de desgaste profesional como la asociación de alto agotamiento emocional, despersonalización y bajo rendimiento profesional. Realizamos el análisis multivariado después del ajuste del modelo logístico binario con la identificación de los factores de riesgo y el calculo de (OR). De los 623 médicos registrados en el curso, 132 participaron en el estudio. (AU)
Background and objective: The burnout was originally described by Freudenberger, an American psychoanalyst psychiatrist in 1974, and this term was used for the first time by Cristina Maslach in 1976 to refer to an increasingly frequent situation among workers of human services, who by the nature of their work, had to maintain direct and continuous contact with people, wasting out professionally after months or years of dedication. In the 1980s, Maslach created an instrument for its assessment, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), with 3 versions, one aimed at people who work in the human services sector (Human Services Survey). It values 3 dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment at work, is still in use and is considered the most accurate instrument for diagnosing the disease.The objective of this study was to determine the frequency and associated factors of burnout syndrome in a group of plastic surgeons and postgraduate students in Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery in Colombia.Methods.Cross-sectional study carried out during the XX International Course of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery of the Colombian Society of Aesthetic and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery (SCCP) carried out in September 2018 in Barranquilla. Informed consent was requested and the Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire and a sociodemographic questionnaire were used to evaluate the factors associated with the syndrome. Burnout syndrome was defined as the association of high emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal accomplishment. The multivariate analysis was performed after fitting the binary logistic model with the identification of risk factors and the calculation of the (OR). Of the 623 physicians registered in the course, 132 participated in the study. (AU)
