title: [Psychiatrist's burnout. A survey].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  This work seeks to know the state of the Burnout syndrome among Spanish psychiatrists' with the purpose of having some national reference values. It also sought to elucidate the sociodemographic and work-related variables which can influence the burnout syndrome.
  
  
  METHODS
  A survey (which includes sociodemographic, work-related variables and the Maslach Burnout Inventory) is applied to a sample of psychiatrists assisting at the National Congress of Psychiatry held in Valencia. The statistical analysis comprises parametric, non parametric and multivariate methods.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results of the three subscales included in the Maslach Burnout Inventory is offered along their relationship with the sociodemographic and work-related variables studied. The multivariate analysis shows that only the variable sex can influence the probability of obtaining high scores in the depersonalization subscale.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The scores obtained in the three subscales of the of Maslach Burnout Inventory are higher than those published to date. These prior studies were carried out with autonomous samples. The possible relationship of these high scores with the current spanish situation is considered.
