| Sumario: | Burnout syndrome (BS) is an occupational risk factor. Intellectual activity in isolation settings can negatively influence upon health integrity, especially when it is influenced by social distancing. In this context, a group of researchers were motivated to carry out this research, with the aim of evaluating the level of BS in the teaching staff of Nursing studies and its relationship with variables of the job context. A descriptive, observational and retrospective study was carried out in the period from April to June 2020. The universe and the study sample were made up of 16 teachers from the Universidad Metropolitana del Ecuador, Quito campus. A survey based on the Maslach Burnout Inventory was used, which investigated emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal self-realization. It was evident that most of the teachers were female and the age group of 41 to 60 years predominated. From the presence of emotional exhaustion, signs of high risk of SB were observed in most of the teachers. Depersonalization showed a high percentage in 11 professionals. Considering the feelings of satisfactory professional performance, the majority presented low risk of BS. It was recommended that appropriate time were granted for adaptation to the new educational settings; teamwork respecting breaktimes, as well as minimizing unforeseen events, bureaucracy and promoting the fluidity of communication between organizational levels. |
