Resumen

Studies conducted in the last five years, reveal that the prevalence of burnout is increasing in healthcare pro-fessionals. The objectives of the research were to describe the phases and levels of the SB dimensions and determine the effects of a Brief Intervention Program (BIP) on the burnout of health professionals from two hospitals of the Ministry of Health (Ancash, Peru). It is a research of quantitative approach, applied and pre-experimental design. The population was made up of 60 professionals and five professionals with intermediate and final phase burnout participated in the intervention. Maslach’s “Burnout” Inventory MBI was used, whose psychometric properties were adequate (reliability, Cronbach’s alpha = 0.85; content validity index, Lawshe = 1.00). The BIP focused on teaching behavioral, cognitive and emotional coping strategies for burnout. The results indicate that the BIP managed to reverse the intermediate and final stages of burnout until the initial phase, and decrease the high levels of its dimensions: emotional fatigue and low personal achievement; but the changes were not significant. It was concluded that BIP is economic, effective and efficient.
