Abstract

Following a previous study on professional caregivers of people with dementia and other diseases in residential, was decided to compare two residential centers of two different regions, Murcia and Barcelona. Based on the results of which 13.3% of the global sample had a high emotional exhaustion, 54.8% a high level of depersonalization and 10% a reduced sense of personal accomplishment, we proceed to an analysis of current levels in the three dimensions to study their evolution. Similarly, we assess whether in the town of Lorca (Murcia), these levels have been affected by the earthquake on May 11, 2011, for which it has conducted an evaluation of possible symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We proceeded to the administration of the same tests of the latest research (Scale Maslach Burnout Inventory -MBI- and an ad hoc survey conducted for professional caregivers) and the Scale SA-45 which is the short form from the original SCL-90, and the Severity of Symptoms Scale of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. The results show differences between the two populations in different variables and they shed light on the consequences and impact of a traumatic event in the sample.
