Burnout (BO) is a response to prolonged exposure to work-related stressors characterized by emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and reduced personal accomplishment (PA). The police working environment includes continued critical life-threatening situations, violence, and injuries, among other related factors putting them at high risk of distress. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between Burnout Syndrome and sociodemographic, occupational, and health factors in Mexican police officers. We applied the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) to 351 active members of the Mexican police workforce. In addition, a specific questionnaire identified the presence of chronic degenerative diseases, hypertension, diabetes, digestive diseases, self-perception of food quality, and hours of sleep. Furthermore, 23.36% of police workforces presented high levels of burnout; 44.16% of police were highly emotionally exhausted, 49.29% had lost empathy with people, and 41.03% presented low personal achievement. Moreover, the worst levels of the syndrome were present in people with a poor self-perceived health status, poor perception of diet quality, without regular mealtimes, bad sleep habits, and elevated Body Mass Index. Data suggest that in Mexican police officers, BO is dimensionally different from all other groups previously studied (DP > EE > PA).
burnout (BO) 是对长期暴露于工作相关压力源的反应，其特征是情绪疲惫 (EE)、去人性化 (DP) 和个人成就感降低 (PA)。警察的工作环境包括持续的危及生命的紧急情况、暴力和伤害等相关因素，使他们面临高压力的风险。本研究的目的是评估 burnout 综合征与墨西哥警察的社会人口学、职业和健康因素之间的关联。我们对 351 名墨西哥警察机构的在职人员应用了 Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS)。此外，一个特定的问卷确定了慢性退行性疾病、高血压、糖尿病、消化疾病、对食物质量的自我感知以及睡眠小时数的存在。此外，23.36%的警察人员表现出高度的 burnout；44.16%的警察人员情绪疲惫严重，49.29%的警察人员对人失去同情心，41.03%的警察人员个人成就感低。此外，在自我健康状况差、饮食质量差、没有规律的进餐时间、不良的睡眠习惯和较高的 BMI 的人群中，该综合征的最严重程度。数据表明，在墨西哥警察中，BO 在维度上与以前研究过的所有其他群体不同（DP>EE>PA）。
