Abstract

The concept of five-year prevention puts the quality of life of professionals in the perspective of the care provided to the patient. Data on the prevalence of burnout syndrome among health professionals have been considered alarming. This article raises the possibility that the essential basic condition for the emergence of burnout is the integration into abusive relationships, that is, relations characterized by inequality between the two poles where there is no opportunity for professionals to activate their roles of expression, creativity, recognition or self-knowledge at every moment. Knowledgeable, well-known professionals who freely express their ideas and needs are likely to be professionals who will make more assertive, thoughtful decisions and with fewer mistakes in caring for others.
