El artículo presenta una valoración de la dimensión “despersonalización” de la Escala M.B.I. de Maslach y Jackson (1981), relacionando el burnout con estrategias de afrontamiento asumidas para reducir el estrés, desórdenes psicofisiológicos asociados al síndrome, y percepción del clima laboral.
La muestra está constituida por 191 profesores de Enseñanza Secundaria (F.P., B.U.P. y C.O.U.) de la ciudad y provincia de Salamanca.
Los resultados confirmaron la hipótesis de que los profesores manifiestan más frecuencia de despersonalización en Septiembre que en Junio. En cuanto a las variables asociadas que fueron evaluadas, se comprobó que esta fase del burnout, se manifiesta más mediante cambios cognitivos que a través de desórdenes psicofisiológicos, viéndose menos afectados los profesores (en esta fase del proceso) por las influencias del clima laboral percibido.
Finalmente, resaltar que fue significativo en el grupo de los docentes más frecuentemente Despersonalizados, el uso de estrategias de afrontamiento de carácter activo.
