OBJECTIVE: To introduce the development and validation of the Medical Professional Burnout Syndrome Scale belonging to the Questionnaire on Medical Professional Burnout (QMPB). DESIGN: Descriptive and transversal study in two stages. Stage 1: analysis of the psychometric properties of the new questionnaire dealing with its construction validity (exploratory factorial analysis, internal consistency, and confirmatory factorial analysis). Stage 11: study of its convergent validity with the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Community of Madrid, Spain. Stage I: 485 doctors (primary care centres and hospitals). Stage II: new sample of 100 doctors (primary care centres). MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Professional burnout through the Medical Professional Burnout Syndrome Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. RESULTS: The exploratory and confirmatory factorial analysis of the QMBP confirmed 3 factors that described medical professional burnout: Exhaustion, Distancing, and Loss of Hope, with an acceptable internal consistency. Convergent validity was confirmed with the MBI, especially in the Exhaustion dimension. CONCLUSIONS: Evaluation of psychometric properties confirmed the Medical Professional Burnout Syndrome Scale as a valid and specific instrument for studying burnout.
