Resumen

El bienestar mental de los profesionales de la salud se ha visto comprometido por el incremento de estrés y burnout, destacándose la importancia de intervenciones psicosociales efectivas que aborden estos problemas. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las intervenciones psicosociales más efectivas para mejorar el bienestar mental de los profesionales de la salud. La investigación adoptó un enfoque cualitativo, sustentado en una revisión documental, lo que permitió evaluar estudios recientes sobre la efectividad de estas intervenciones en diversos contextos clínicos. Los resultados evidencian que la terapia cognitivo-conductual, el apoyo psicológico y los programas de bienestar integral son efectivos en reducir el estrés y el burnout. Sin embargo, el impacto de cada intervención varía en función del contexto clínico y la personalización de la intervención. La terapia cognitivo-conductual se destaca en la reducción de la ansiedad en entornos de alta presión, mientras que el apoyo psicológico resulta particularmente beneficioso en ambientes hospitalarios debido a su flexibilidad para adaptarse a situaciones de alta carga emocional. Por su parte, los programas de bienestar integral son idóneos para la atención primaria, pues contribuyen significativamente al bienestar general y la reducción del burnout.Se concluye que es esencial personalizar las intervenciones y adaptarlas a las características ocupacionales para optimizar su efectividad. Futuros estudios deben profundizar en la adaptación de estas intervenciones para maximizar su impacto en la salud mental de los profesionales.
