Síndrome de burnout y consumo de alcohol en funcionarios públicos

Abstract

The research delved into the study of burnout syndrome, a mental condition that manifests itself through emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and cynicism, resulting from chronic stress generated in the work environment. Within the study, the risks associated with alcohol consumption and the possible consequences of its intake were examined, especially in the behavioral field. We sought to determine the relationship between burnout syndrome and alcohol consumption in public officials. To achieve the stated objectives, a quantitative approach is used, with a non-experimental design and correlational descriptive scope. A sample of 128 public officials, both men and women, aged between 24 and 56 years, was used. The instruments used were the AUDIT Questionnaire and the adapted Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS). Regarding alcohol consumption between men and women, there were statistically significant differences, with women being the ones with the highest risk of consumption. Finally, fulfilling the main objective of this research, it was found that there is compensation in two dimensions of burnout syndrome.
