[Burnout syndrome among pediatricians. Bivariate and multivariate analysis].
As burnout syndrome has been barely analyzed in pediatricians, it was considered relevant to explore labor satisfaction and tiredness in these professionals and to evaluate possible associated factors. ⋯ The polled pediatricians evidenced higher values of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and a medium personal achievement. This dimension became higher as they revealed more years of professional performance. Depersonalization was lower in physicians carrying out managerial jobs. Multivariate analysis was useful to group individuals in accordance with their affinities on the studied variables.
