Burnout, liderazgo y satisfacción laboral en el personal asistencial de un Hospital de Tercer Nivel en Bogotá

El propósito de este estudio fue identificar la presencia del síndrome de burnout, los estilos de liderazgo y la satisfacción laboral de los profesionales asistenciales de hospital de tercer nivel y observar su relación, considerando variables sociodemográficas. Para ello se utilizó el MBI, el TAP y el Test de Satisfacción Laboral S20/23 respectivamente. De acuerdo con los resultados, se encontró baja presencia de burnout y altos niveles de realización personal, a pesar de las condiciones laborales adversas, precursoras del síndrome. Contrario a lo reportado en la literatura, las personas con el síndrome o en riesgo, presentan alta satisfacción laboral, sustentada en la motivación intrínseca, lo cual constituye un factor protector. No se encontró relación directa entre liderazgo y burnout, pero el liderazgo si se relaciona con la satisfacción laboral a través de la motivación intrínseca. Se confirman el papel mediador de las variables sociodemográficas.

Family Characterization of Young Experimental Consumers of Psychoactive Substances Seen in the Toxicology Department at Colsubsidio

This investigation characterized families of adolescents experimenting with psychoactive substances (PAS) consumption. Materials and methods: For this purpose, a qualitative study with a hermeneutical emphasis was conducted among a population of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 who have experimented with PAS. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients and their families employing a flexible protocol of 14 categories. Results: The findings showed low levels of family cohesion and sense of family identity, inconsistency between educational patterns followed by the parents, as well as deficient parental support. Similarly, the findings indicate significant peer influence during the first stages of consumption of illegal substances. In this regard, the findings suggest that more than providing physical satisfaction, consumption represents a form of acquiring prestige and social position while granting a sensation of psychological, emotional and social well-being. Conclusions: Parental influence was also found considerable in regarding the consumption of legal PAS, like alcohol and tobacco. The study identified as a high-priority need to promote and incorporate communication and conflict resolution skills within the family dynamics by means of prevention and monitoring programs. Those skills and programs would be aimed at providing parents of adolescents experimenting with PAS consumption with new educational tools to orientate new raising guidelines so as to respond appropriately to the problems identified in this study.
