Abstract

Objective: To identify latent profiles of burnout and depressive symptoms in Peruvian medical residents. Materials and methods: A secondary analysis of the ENSUSALUD 2016 survey. A latent profile analysis was conducted using the dimensions of the MBI and the PHQ-2. Results: Four profiles were identified: Resilient (36.6%), Mild Burnout (16.0%), Moderate Burnout (39.9%), and Severe Burnout (7.6%). Only the severe profile presented with depression (64%). The profiles differed in work-life balance, family support, and workplace violence (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Burnout in Peruvian residents presents as a heterogeneous spectrum where only the severe profile develops comorbid depression.
