    Burnout syndrome today represents a major health problem, especially for professionals where person-to-person contact occurs. For many years, this pathology has been studied in health, education, and customer service professionals. However, this can happen in many areas, such as housewives, where the long hours of work and stress pose a danger to women's health and the normal functioning of the family. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the presence of burnout syndrome in housewives and family functioning at the primary care level. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, and non-experimental study that included 137 housewives residing in the Juan Montalvo parish who attend the San Buenaventura health center in the province of Cotopaxi, between August 2020 and November 2021. Age The average age of the sample is 33 years old. Ethnicity, marital status, and family responsibilities were taken into consideration for the study. Two LinkedIn-style surveys were applied with prior consent, CUBAC (Burnout Questionnaire for Housewives) and FFSIL (Family Activity Perception Test). The results were: Risk of suffering from burnout syndrome: 58.9% of the women surveyed presented a high risk of suffering from the syndrome, 40.1% medium risk and 1.5% low risk. On the other hand, the family functionality tests showed that 41.6% are moderately functional; 30.7% are dysfunctional families; 20.4% are xiv functional and only 7.3% are severely dysfunctional. The alternative hypothesis was verified using the Chi2 statistical test, where the p value was 0.001; with 95% CI and 6 degrees of freedom. It was concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between the study variables, that is, the risk of suffering from Burnout Syndrome is high in housewives and there is a direct relationship with dysfunctional families.
