Lua et al (2018) también hallaron una mayor prevalencia de sufrir síntomas como insomnio, fatiga, irritabilidad, olvido, dificultad para concentrarse o problemas somáticos en enfermeras de atención primaria con puntuaciones mayores de uno en ERI (PR = 1,78, IC 0,98-3,23, p = 0,05). Hämmig et al (2012) detectaron valores diversos de burnout o síndrome de estar quemado en el trabajo en función de la profesión.…”
