Análisis factorial del «Cuestionario para la evaluación del síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo» en estudiantes de medicina peruanos / Factor analysis of the «Questionnaire for the evaluation of occupational burnout syndrome» in peruvian medical students

Background: The «Questionnaire for the evaluation of occupational burnout syndrome » («Cuestionario para la evaluación del síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo (CESQT»)» has been proposed to evaluate this syndrome in different populations. However, it has not been used in Latin-American university students. Aim: To evaluate the dimensional structure of CESQT in medical students from Peru. Material and methods: This was an observational, analytical and cross-sectional study, that was performed in a sample of 71 medical students in the last year of their degree (also known as «Medical Internship») in a Public Hospital in Lima, Peru. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to identify the dimension structure with best fit to the data. A multivariate linear regression analysis was also performed to determine the relationship between the occupational burnout syndrome, gender, and their current clinical rotation (obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, pediatrics, and internal medicine). Results: The EFA found that the two dimensions model best explained the data variability (61.8% of the variance). These two factors were called illusion and exhaustion. The linear regression showed that gender and the current clinical rotation were not associated to any of the two factors (P > .05). Illusion was inversely associated with exhaustion, even after fitting it with gender and current clinical rotation (P = .007and = -.33, respectively). Conclusion: The information included in the CESQT is summed up in two highly correlated dimensions: illusion and exhaustion that are independent gender and the current clinical rotation in which the students were involved. / Revisión por pares
