RESUMEN
Since the first documented autochthonous transmission of chikungunya virus in the Caribbean island of Saint Martin in 2013, the infection has been reported within the Caribbean region as well as North, Central and South America. The risk of autochthonous transmission of chikungunya virus becoming established in Spain may be elevated due to the large numbers of travellers returning to Spain from countries affected by the 2013 epidemic in the Caribbean and South America, as well as the existence of the Aedes albopictus vector in certain parts of Spain. We retrospectively analysed the laboratory diagnostic database of the National Centre for Microbiology, Institute of Health Carlos III (CNM-ISCIII) from 2008 to 2014. During the study period, 264 confirmed cases, of 1,371 suspected cases, were diagnosed at the CNM-ISCIII. In 2014 alone, there were 234 confirmed cases. The highest number of confirmed cases were reported from the Dominican Republic (n = 136), Venezuela (n = 30) and Haiti (n = 11). Six cases were viraemic in areas of Spain where the vector is present. This report highlights the need for integrated active case and vector surveillance in Spain and other parts of Europe where chikungunya virus may be introduced by returning travellers.

Resumen
Introducción: es reconocido que el trabajo de enfermería en el contexto hospitalario, el estrés tiene diversas fuentes y repercusiones en la salud física y mental de las enfermeras. Los efectos del estrés laboral se han descrito como síndrome de burnout (sb), por lo que en este trabajo se analizan los elementos involucrados en el problema.
Desarrollo: se presenta la evidencia científica sobre los factores que originan el sb: situacionales (características del trabajo, ocupacionales y organizacionales); individuales: (características sociodemográficas, de personalidad y actitudes hacia el trabajo) y la violencia hacia las enfermeras como un factor emergente. Se presenta la evidencia sobre las consecuencias en las enfermeras y en las instituciones, así como las intervenciones que han mostrado efectividad a nivel individual (intervenciones educativas y psicosociales) y a nivel organizacional.
Conclusiones: para la práctica es crucial que las enfermeras administradoras y el personal conozcan todo lo relativo al sb para prevenirlo e intervenir oportunamente. En investigación es prioritario construir una línea que supere las diferencias metodológicas que limitan comparaciones de prevalencia, factores relacionados y consecuencias en el contexto nacional. Es prioritario incluir la evaluación de intervenciones.
Abstract
Introduction: ¡t is recognized that nursing work in the hospital setting has several sources of stress with implications for nurses' physical and mental health. The effects of work stress have been described as Burnout syndrome (BS), so this paper examines the elements involved in the problem.
Development: it presents the scientific evidence on the factors causing the BS: situational (job characteristics, occupational and organizational), individual (sociodemographic characteristics, personality and attitudes to work) and violence towards nurses as an emerging factor. It presents evidence on the impact on nurses and the institutions and interventions that have shown effectiveness at the individual level (education and psychosocial interventions) and at organizational level.
Conclusions: for daily practice it is very important that manager nurses and staff know all about BS to prevent and intervene promptly. Research priority is to build a line that overcomes the methodological differences that limit comparisons of prevalence, associated factors and consequences in the national context. To include evaluation of interventions is a preponderant issue.
