Se identificó mayor riesgo los profesionales de Argentina (OR = 0,673; p < 0,001), el personal sanitario joven (OR = 0,975; p < 0,001), las mujeres (OR = 0,847; p < 0,001), quienes trabajan en el sector público (OR = 1,352; p < 0,001), los médicos especialistas (OR = 1,352; p < 0,001) y generales (OR = 1,363; p < 0,001). La prevalencia de burnout en los profesionales de salud de América Latina fue alta. Ofrecer programas de atención psicosocial para el personal de salud orientados a mitigar los efectos de la pandemia en la salud mental de estos profesionales es fundamental. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental health of healthcare workers. To estimate the prevalence of Burnout and its associated factors in a sample of healthcare professionals in Latin America. In a cross-sectional multicenter study, 5.437 health professionals from 6 Latin America countries were included. The Mini-Z adapted, and a demographic questionnaire was used. The prevalence of burnout was estimated from the cut-off points of the instrument, and binary logistic regression was performed. 59.8% of the surveyed population suffered from burnout. A higher risk was found in professionals from Argentina (OR = 0.673; P <.001), young health workers (OR = 0.975; P <.001), women (OR = 0.847; P <.001), public sector workers (OR = 1.352; P <.001), specialists (OR = 1.352; P <.001) and general practitioners (OR = 1.363; P <.001). The prevalence of burnout among health professionals in Latin America is high. It is essential to offer psychosocial care programs for health personnel to mitigate the effects of the pandemic on their mental health.

Generalized anxiety has significantly increased in the general population during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the need for rapid screening tools. In this context, the present study analyzed the psychometric properties and internal consistency of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) in healthcare workers and the general population in Latin America. A cross-sectional e-health study was conducted, surveying 11,279 Latin Americans online using snowball sampling. The sample included healthcare professionals, hospital populations, community members from various occupations, and university students from six countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, Colombia, and Peru). Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were performed separately for each country. Additionally, the instrument's internal consistency was evaluated by calculating McDonald's W index and item-total correlations based on the final items. The EFA revealed a unidimensional structure comprising the seven items of the instrument, which explained between 62.8% and 66.1% of the variance (KMO = between .900 and .910; p < .000). The CFA confirmed adequate fit indices for each country. The omega index ranged from 0.85 (Peru: CI = 0.800-0.884) to 0.95 (Argentina-Bolivia: CI = 0.901-0.985), and item-total correlations were high, ranging from .642 to .869, demonstrating the instrument's reliability. In conclusion, the findings of this study indicate that the GAD-7 is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing generalized anxiety symptoms in the Latin American population.
