RESUMEN
RESUMEN Objetivo: Determinar los factores asociados con el agotamiento psicológico (AP) en odontólogos especialistas que laboraban en la ciudad de Bucaramanga y su área metropolitana. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional analítico de corte transversal en el que se aplicó la versión validada del cuestionario Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) a 117 especialistas del área de odontología. Se analizaron los puntajes obtenidos en las 3 dimensiones del instrumento, las características sociodemográficas, los aspectos del entorno laboral y profesional y los hábitos. En el análisis bivariado, se utilizó el coeficiente de correlación de Spearman, la prueba de la U de Mann Whitney o Kruskal-Wallis y en el ánalisis multivariado, se realizó una regresión logística. Un valor de p<0,05 se consideró estadísticamente significativo. Cada participante aceptó su inclusión en el estudio tras el proceso de consentimiento informado. Resultados: El promedio de edad fue 44,0 ± 7,8 años y el 57,3% eran mujeres. El 3,4, el 4,3 y el 4,3% de los participantes tenían altos grados de agotamiento emocional, despersonaliza ción y falta de realización personal respectivamente. El consumo de cigarrillo presentó una asociación directa con las dimensiones despersonalización (p = 0,031) y falta de realización personal (p = 0,025). De otra parte, tener 10 años o más de egresado del posgrado evidenció una asociación inversa en estas 2 dimensiones (p = 0,049 y p = 0,045 respectivamente). Conclusiones: Los resultados indican que el AP no es un problema frecuente en los odontó logos especialistas que laboran en Bucaramanga y su área metropolitana; sin embargo, es importante tener en cuenta que se observó relación del AP con el hábito de fumar y los años de egresado de la especialidad.
ABSTRACT Objective: To establish the factors associated with burnout syndrome in dental specialists working in the city of Bucaramanga and its metropolitan area. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in which the validated version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) questionnaire was applied to 117 dental specialists. The variables analysed were the scores obtained in the three dimensions of the instrument - sociodemographic and job-related characteristics, professional environment, and habits. Spearman's correlation coefficient and the Mann Whitney or Kruskal-Wallis U test were used in the bivariate analysis, and a logistic regression was perfor med in the multivariate analysis. A value of p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Each participant accepted their inclusion in the study after the Informed Consent process was done. Results: The average age was 44.0 ± 7.8 years, and 57.3% were women. It was observed that 3.4%, 4.3% and 4.3% of respondents scored highly in emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and lack of personal achievement, respectively. Cigarette smoking presented a direct association with the dimensions of depersonalisation (p = 0.031) and lack of personal achie vement (p = 0.025). On the other hand, having completed the postgraduate degree 10 years or more ago showed a negative association in these two dimensions (p = 0.049 and p = 0.045, respectively). Conclusions: The results suggest that burnout syndrome is not a frequent problem in dental specialists who work in Bucaramanga and its metropolitan area. However, it is important to keep in mind that a relationship was observed between the syndrome and smoking, and the years after graduating in the specialty.

RESUMEN
Se realizó un estudio prospectivo en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos del Servicio de Neonatología del Complejo Hospitalario Metropolitano de la Caja de Seguro Social con el objetivo de conocer las complicaciones, de mayor trascendencia, del recién nacido pretérmino con enfermedad por déficit de surfactante. Evaluamos igualmente la repercución que tienen las infecciones nosocomiales en el pronóstico y en la supervivencia de estos pacientes después de haberse resuelto su patología de base. Para ello admitimos 20 neonatos pretérmino quienes nacieron entre abril de 1993 y mayo de 1994 con un peso promedio de 1,132 +- 377 y 29.7 +- 2.9 semanas, desarrollaron la enfermedad por déficit de surfactante y fueron tratados con surfactante exógeno. Como factores de riesgo asociados se encontró que el (70 por ciento) era de sexo masculino, menor de 30 semanas y menor de 1,250 gramos. Las complicaciones metabólicas fueron las más frecuentes, seguidas de las respiratorias; y desde el punto de vista de morbimortalidad, la sepsis nosocomial fue la más importante (el 94 por ciento se infectó antes de los 28 días de vida, especialmente, los menores de 1,000 gramos). La candidiasis sistémica se detectó en el (25 por ciento) de ellos y la enfermedad pulmonar crónica en el (20 por ciento). Esta problemática constituye un problema serio en las unidades de cuidados intensivos neonatales y amerita una adecuada vigilancia epidemiológica (INV)
