Resumen

Este estudio analiza la relación entre el afrontamiento centrado en la acción y en la emoción y las dimensiones del burnout (agotamiento emocional, cinismo y realización personal) comparando los modelos lineal, no-lineal y de interacción mediante análisis de regresión cuadrática. La muestra consistió en 202 profesores de universidad. Variables como el sexo o la edad no resultaron significativas al explicar la relación entre el afrontamiento y el burnout. Los resultados muestran relaciones significativas negativas entre el afrontamiento centrado en la emoción y el agotamiento y cinismo y positivas con la realización personal (modelo lineal). También muestran que niveles muy bajos o muy altos de afrontamiento centrado en la emoción disminuyen la realización personal de forma significativa (modelo no-lineal), y que el efecto combinado de estrategias de afrontamiento es significativo, de forma que cuando el uso de las estrategias enfocadas en la emoción es mayor que el de las enfocadas en la acción, el agotamiento aumenta y la realización personal disminuye. Estos resultados apoyan la idea de que para comprender la naturaleza flexible y adaptativa del afrontamiento y de que éste opera en un proceso combinado donde unas estrategias afectan a las otras, es de gran utilidad la aplicación de modelos nolineales y de interacción. Finalmente, se discuten las implicaciones prácticas para futuras investigaciones y para los programas de prevención y de intervención sobre el burnout.
