Resumen
Surgical area nurses provide comprehensive care to patients throughout the surgical process.
Increases in life expectancy lead to the appearance and development of diseases, translating into an
increase in the number of necessary interventions. Increases in the workload can be another risk
factor for the development of burnout in professionals in this area. Knowledge of psychological
and personality-related variables provides relevant information of level changes in the dimensions
of burnout syndrome. Three logistic regression models, based on a cross-sectional study with
214 nurses working in the surgical area in the Andalusian Health Service, Spain, were built for
each dimension. These models included different variables related to depression and personality,
with some being significant at the population level and consequently true risk or protection factors.
Friendliness, responsibility and extraversion are protection factors for the personal accomplishment
dimension, whilst neuroticism is a risk factor for this dimension. Friendliness is also a protection
factor for depersonalization, whilst depression is a risk factor. Finally, neuroticism, responsibility
and depression are risk factors for the emotional exhaustion dimension of burnout. These findings
provide relevant information that makes anticipation of this syndrome in this group easier.
