Resumen
The health professionals have high stress and burnout levels being dentistry a little-studied specialty in the health profession in this respect. The objective of this study was to analyze burnout in dentists in the Valencian Community, analyzing the relationship in dentists between job satisfaction, general self-esteem and perceived stress. To this end, an observational study was carried out, where data was collected from 366 dentists, who filled out a series of online questionnaires anonymously between January and May 2018. The results showed that the participants had burnout levels below average, stress levels slightly above average, with high levels of job satisfaction and self-esteem. Self-esteem was positively and significantly related to job satisfaction and negatively to stress and burnout. Finally, linear regression analysis showed that the perception of stress positively and significantly predicted the overall burnout sensation experienced by the participants, while both job satisfaction perception and self-esteem negatively and significantly predicted participant burnout. We concluded that to prevent burnout, adequate job satisfaction and low levels of stress must be promoted, together with high levels of self-esteem in the professional's life. Los profesionales de la salud presentan un alto nivel de burnout siendo la odontología una especialidad poco estudiada. El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar las experiencias de burnout de los odontólogos de la Comunidad Valenciana, analizando su relación con la percepción de satisfacción laboral, autoestima general y el estrés percibido. Se recogieron los datos de 366 odontólogos, que cumplimentaron una batería de cuestionarios online y de manera anónima entre enero y mayo de 2018. Los resultados mostraron que los participantes presentaban niveles de burnout por debajo de la media, un nivel de estrés ligeramente superior a la media y una buena percepción con su satisfacción laboral y nivel de autoestima. La autoestima se relacionaba positiva y significativamente con la satisfacción y negativamente con el estrés y el burnout. Finalmente, los análisis de regresiones lineares mostraron que la percepción de estrés predecía positiva y significativamente la sensación de burnout global, mientras que la percepción de satisfacción laboral y autoestima predecían negativa y significativamente el burnout global de los participantes. Concluimos que para evitar el desarrollo de burnout es necesario promover una adecuada satisfacción laboral y unos bajos niveles de estrés junto con una alta autoestima en la vida del profesional.
