Burnout syndrome represents a chronic stress response that affects the mental health and professional performance of nursing staff. This study aimed to analyze the workrelated and academic factors associated with burnout syndrome in graduate students of Family and Community Nursing. A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational approach was applied, with a cross-sectional field design. Data collection was conducted using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), which assesses three dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software, employing descriptive statistics and chi-square tests to identify relationships between variables. The results showed that most participants had a medium level of burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion and moderate depersonalization, along with high personal accomplishment, which acts as a protective factor. It was observed that a double workload and academic workload increases the risk of fatigue and frustration, especially in professionals with a greater number of responsibilities. Likewise, the significant relationship between frustration and fatigue reflects the influence of dissatisfaction and lack of recognition on psychological exhaustion. It is concluded that burnout in graduate students is a multifactorial phenomenon that requires institutional attention. The implementation of psychological support strategies, academic flexibility, and self-care promotion can contribute to reducing stress levels and improving the overall well-being of future community nursing specialists.

This study analyzed caregiver burden among individuals with disabilities at the Loma Health Center in Quito, aiming to identify the levels of physical, emotional, social, and economic burden they face. The Zarit Burden Interview was administered to 24 caregivers using a quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional approach. Data were processed using SPSS software, employing descriptive statistical analysis and pairedsamples t-tests. The results showed that most caregivers scored above 47, indicating the presence of mild to severe burden. The most affected factors were emotional exhaustion, loss of personal time, physical strain, and social isolation. Economic difficulties and feelings of sole responsibility for the family member were also observed. The most significant differences were found in the emotional, social, and economic dimensions, confirming that burden manifests primarily through stress, fatigue, and a loss of personal control. In conclusion, it can be said that caregivers of people with disabilities at the Loma de Quito Health Center require psychological support, professional guidance, and respite care to reduce the impact of caregiving on their health and well-being. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening family support programs and public policies that recognize and support the work of caregivers as an essential component of the comprehensive healthcare system.

Obesity has become a major public health concern worldwide, affecting millions of people and increasing the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders. This multifactorial phenomenon is influenced by several factors, with dietary patterns being a key component in its development. Among these patterns is emotional eating, which refers to the consumption of food in response to emotions, rather than the physiological need for food. This behavior is manifested when people use food as a coping mechanism to deal with negative emotions such as social pressure, stress, anxiety, sadness or loneliness. The literature review developed examines the available evidence on obesity and emotional eating in the general population. Through a comprehensive search of scientific databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest and Google Scholar between 2020 and 2024 on obesity derived from emotional eating. The findings indicate that emotional eating is associated with excessive food consumption and the adoption of unhealthy habits, such as fast food consumption.

Family functioning refers to the quality of ties and cohesion among family members , including aspects such as communication, mutual support and conflict resolution. Perceiv e d stress, on the other hand, is a person's subjective assessment of how stressful the demands of their environment are and how well they are able to cope with them. The objective was to determine the relationship between family functioning and perceived stress in people with incomplete schooling in an Educational Unit of the Province of Tungurahua with a sample of 110 adults. The study had a quantitative approach with a non- experimental, descript i v ecorrelational, cross-sectional design. The family functioning questionnaire (FFSIL) and the perceived stress questionnaire (PSS-14) were used. A slight negative relationship was found (Rho= -0.330 p<0.001). In family functioning the moderately functional level predominated with 45.5%, on the other hand, in perceived stress the sometimes stressed level prevailed with 53.6%. It was found that there were no statistically significant differences according to gender. These findings confirm the research hypothesis, which proposed that adequa t e family functioning correlates with lower levels of perceived stress.

The research delved into the study of burnout syndrome, a mental condition that manifests itself through emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and cynicism, resulting from chronic stress generated in the work environment. Within the study, the risks associated with alcohol consumption and the possible consequences of its intake were examined, especially in the behavioral field.
