Abstract (English): Medical residency is a training phase associated with changes in well-being indicators such as sleepiness, physical activity, quality of life, and burnout. Objective: To determine the evolution of well-being aspects in pediatric residents during the first two years of residency. Subjects and Method: An online survey was administered to pediatric residents at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile who entered the program in 2022, at 2, 6, 12, and 24 months after starting the program. The survey included the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire, and a quality-of-life questionnaire (WHOQoL-BREF). Results: 19 residents were included in this study. 15, 14, 13, and 9 residents completed the survey at each respective time point. The prevalence of burnout reached up to 67%, with a significant upward trend over time. Burnout was associated with lower levels of satisfaction with health, excessive daytime sleepiness, poorer overall quality of life, and lower scores in the physical, psychological, and enviromental domains of quality of life. Conclusions: Pediatric residents have a high prevalence of burnout, which is associated with sleepiness and lower quality of life. Monitoring residents using these tools can contribute to designing interventions within residency programs to mitigate burnout. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): La residencia médica es una etapa formativa asociada a alteraciones en marcadores de bienestar como somnolencia, actividad física, calidad de vida y burnout. Objetivo: Determinar la evolución de aspectos del bienestar en residentes de pediatría durante los primeros dos años de residencia. Sujetos y Método: Encuesta de aplicación electrónica a residentes de pediatría de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile ingresados el año 2022, a los 2, 6, 12 y 24 meses de haber iniciado el programa. Esta incluyó el Inventario de Burnout de Maslach, la Escala de somnolencia de Epworth, el Cuestionario Mundial sobre Actividad Física y un cuestionario de calidad de vida (WHOQoL-BREF). Resultados: 19 residentes fueron incluidos en este estudio. 15, 14, 13 y 9 residentes respondieron la encuesta en cada tiempo respectivo. La prevalencia de burnout alcanzó hasta un 67%, con una tendencia al aumento significativa en el tiempo. El burnout se asoció a residentes más insatisfechos/as con su salud, con la presencia de somnolencia diurna excesiva, una peor calificación de calidad de vida global y a menores puntajes en sus componentes físico, psicológico y ambiental. Conclusiones: Los residentes de pediatría presentan una alta prevalencia de burnout, el cual se asocia a somnolencia y menor calidad de vida. El monitoreo de los residentes con estas herramientas puede contribuir a diseñar intervenciones desde los programas de residencia para mitigar el burnout. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
