Relación entre la resiliencia y el síndrome de burnout en docentes de primaria y secundaria de instituciones educativas públicas de Villavicencio y Acacias-Meta

Abstract

The objective of the present investigation was to identify if there is a significant relationship between burnout syndrome and resilience in primary and secondary teachers of public educational institutions of Villavicencio and Acacias - Meta. This study was structured based on the postulates of neopositivism (logical positivism) with a rationalist epistemology, of a quantitative nature, with a transactional type design and with a correlational descriptive scope. The participants were 119 teachers, 39 men and 80 women, teachers from public schools in the municipalities of Villavicencio and Acacias, between the ages of 20 and 60, of Colombian nationality who resided in the municipalities. As instruments for data collection, the Maslach Burnout Syndrome inventory (1986) and the Connor and Davidson Resilience Scale (2003) were used, in addition to a sociodemographic survey. As results, high levels of resilience were found (X = 77.82 Max. 98, DT = 10.25), meanwhile the SB presented an average of 58.25 (Max. 108, DT = 12.36), which which means that the population has not developed the syndrome, however 10.1% of the population had Burnout symptoms. No significant relationship was found between the global scores of the research variables, however, taking into account the dimensions of the burnout syndrome, a negative relationship was identified between emotional exhaustion and resilience (p. 010) and a positive relationship between personal fulfillment and resilience (p., 000), however, no significant relationship was found between depersonalization and resilience (p., 076). The SB results show statistically significant differences between men (X = 55.20, DT = 12.0) and women (X = 59.61, DT = 12.26), that is, according to the results, women they are more likely to develop Burnout (p.036). The analyzes and discussions are presented at the end of the document, however, it is suggested to continue with investigations that expand the sample number, take into account the other levels of education in which a teacher can work and take into account other possible protective variables of burnout syndrome.
