Abstract

Given the conditions in which the working world has developed since 2019, due to the pandemic of COVID-19, it is necessary to pay attention to how these conditions have influenced the emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal fulfillment of those who have been exposed to the pandemic. The present research aims to assess the level of Burnout syndrome and clinical anxiety in workers of the company "Luminox" in the year 2022. The quali-quantitative method was applied, with a non-probabilistic sample of 108 workers, using the Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire consisting of 22 items. As well as the Beck Anxiety Inventory, a test consisting of 21 questions.

As part of the results, it was found that the company has a 67.97% high risk for the diagnosis of Burnout syndrome. A high level of emotional exhaustion of 53%, high depersonalization of 75%, low personal fulfillment of 75.93% and moderate clinical anxiety of 45.37%, among other results, were assessed. From this, it was concluded that the majority of workers infected by COVID - 19 presented high clinical levels of personal exhaustion, moderate clinical anxiety and low levels of personal fulfillment. The study group with the highest scores for moderate clinical anxiety were those who were not currently studying and those with basic levels of schooling.
