“…According to McCormack et al’s (2018) systematic review, PSYs have the highest rate of emotional exhaustion among all health care workers. Schilling et al’s (2021) study found that school PSYs reported a moderate level of emotional exhaustion. PSYs also report experiencing depersonalization, but scores on this dimension of burnout are generally low (Schilling et al, 2021).…”

“…Schilling et al's (2021) study found that school PSYs reported a moderate level of emotional exhaustion. PSYs also report experiencing depersonalization, but scores on this dimension of burnout are generally low (Schilling et al, 2021). Depersonalization has been shown to be associated with negative and anxiety-provoking client behaviors, which represent risk factors for this dimension of burnout (McCormack et al, 2018).…”

Health care professions are emotionally demanding, requiring special skills in caring and empathy. In the health care field, many professions have been linked to burnout, notably through compassion fatigue. Several studies have attempted to determine what factors influence burnout among health care workers in general; however, few have focused exclusively on psychologists (PSYs) and neuropsychologists (NPSYs). This scoping review aims to better understand the determinants of burnout among PSYs and NPSYs specifically. It also aims to identify which factors allow PSYs and NPSYs to adapt and thrive at work despite the difficulties those professions bring. This research focused on burnout, job satisfaction, and well-being at work. Among the most notable results obtained from 27 scientific studies are as follows: (a) PSYs and NPSYs are generally very satisfied at work despite high burnout rates; (b) individual factors and the work environment impact the mental health of PSYs and NPSYs; (c) self-care behaviors are favorable for job satisfaction, and they also decrease the risk of burnout. In addition, it appears that a feeling of autonomy has an important influence on burnout symptoms, which is consistent with self-determination theory. In sum, this scoping review reveals that factors such as self-compassion, work-life balance, control over work, and administrative tasks can reduce the risk of burnout as well as improve job satisfaction and mental health among PSYs and NPSYs. Public Significance StatementThe results of the present study suggest that self-care is an important variable in both preventing burnout and promoting job satisfaction at work. Given the importance of psychologists' and neuropsychologists' service to the public, it is deemed essential that they take care of their own mental health while caring for others. It is also essential that the work environment allows these professionals to meet their psychological needs in the workplace.

“…Sin embargo, varios estudios muestran que el burnout entre los psicólogos escolares ha estado presente durante muchos años, incluso en situaciones donde no había una pandemia como la del COVID-19. Schilling et al (2017) completaron un estudio para medir los niveles de burnout en psicólogos escolares con una muestra de treinta y ocho participantes en el sureste de los Estados Unidos. Los resultados indicaron que el 92% había experimentado burnout en su carrera y el 40% consideraba dejar su trabajo para dedicarse a otra profesión.…”

“…Los factores identificados como causantes del burnout incluyeron la sobrecarga de trabajo (89%), el nivel de recursos escolares (89%), el salario (72%), el escaso reconocimiento (63%) y el ambiente de trabajo (60%). La mayoría reportó sentir burnout durante los primeros cuatro años de su carrera (Schilling & Randolph, 2017). Knox et al (2018) presentaron los estimados nacionales del Maslach Burnout Inventory, resaltando que más del 68% de los profesionales evaluados reportaron altos niveles de fatiga emocional, una característica del burnout.…”

El burnout se caracteriza por la presencia de agotamiento emocional, despersonalización y disminución en el sentido de logro personal. Según la literatura, los estudios recientes que miden el burnout se han centrado en maestros, médicos y enfermeras. Sin embargo, no existen estudios que midan el burnout en psicólogos en Puerto Rico. Por esta razón, el propósito de nuestro estudio fue medir los niveles de burnout y examinar las propiedades psicométricas de la Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Scale (MBI-GS) en una muestra de psicólogos en Puerto Rico durante el COVID-19. En el estudio participaron 149 psicólogos disponibles que completaron la escala en línea. Se realizaron análisis de estadística descriptiva y análisis de ítems por escala para estimar los índices de discriminación (rbis) del MBI-GS. Posteriormente, se llevó a cabo un análisis de factores exploratorio utilizando el método de extracción por factorización de ejes principales con rotación oblimin. Los resultados indican que la versión en español del MBI-GS tiene altos niveles de consistencia interna (α = .92), validez y confiabilidad. La escala consta de 16 ítems agrupados en tres factores: Agotamiento Emocional, Cinismo y Eficacia Profesional. Con este estudio, aportamos evidencia empírica acerca de las propiedades psicométricas del MBI-GS en psicólogos, lo cual permite replicar su uso en futuras investigaciones en Puerto Rico.
