Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between professional burnout and work engagement in nurses of the hospitalization service of an hospital in Metropolitan Lima, between November 2018 to March 2019. This was an analytical, correlational study, with secondary data. Professional burnout (dependent variable) was measured with the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI); and work engagement (independent variable) was measured with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. The sample consisted of 73 nurses with a mean age of 48.6 years. The dimensions of work engagement scale were vigor, dedication, and absorption; the dimensions of burnout were emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment, the last was analyzed as a mediating factor between the other two and the dimensions of work engagement. The results indicate that professional burnout is negatively associated with work engagement and there are direct but negative effect of vigor upon emotional exhaustion and of dedication upon depersonalization. Personal accomplishment did not mediate none of these effects.
