Socio-demographic and labor details were obtained. RESULTS: Response rate was 85. A high CE was significantly associated to inadequate physical area, OR 3.9 CI 95% 1.5-10.6; to work load OR 7.6 CI 95% 1.6-50.7 and to lack of labor incentives OR 4.4 CI 95% 1.7-11.9 depersonalization was associated only with salary OR 2.6 CI 95% 1.05-6.4. CONCLUSIONS: Family physicians of Mexican Institute of Social Security have labor factors that are associated with burnout that can affect patient's attention.
