Abstract
The veterinarian is exposed to a number of factors in their daily work that can deteriorate their mental and emotional health. The objective of this research was to evaluate stress and burnout through the application of two questionnaires: Test "Maslach Burnout Inventory" and Test "Perceived Stress Scale", and determine the stress factors in veterinarians who practice their profession in the Valle de los Chillos in the city of Quito.
The results found in the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) Test performed on Veterinarians working in the city of Quito in the Valley of the Chillos, show the relationship between the different variables studied (gender and age) and emotional fatigue. Che distribution of positive cases (signs of Burnout Syndrome) were 52% positive.
More than half of the respondents presented signs of Burnout Syndrome which suggests a greater tendency to emotional fatigue and depersonalization.
