Resumen

Se diseñó un estudio con el objetivo de establecer la relación entre estrés percibido, expresión de la ira y síndrome de burnout en amas de casa. Para ello se levantó una muestra de 226 mujeres mexicanas de las que se tomaron medidas del estrés percibido, la Escala PSS14, de la expresión de la ira, el STAXI-2-AX/EX, y del burnout, el CUBAC-21. Inicialmente se comprobó la consistencia interna (α = .83) y el ajuste adecuado a un modelo bifactorial, χ2/gl = 2.33, RMSEA = .08, de la escala PSS14. Posteriormente, se sometieron a prueba tres modelos de la relación entre estrés, ira y burnout. El modelo con mejor ajuste, χ2 (1, N = 226) = 0.92, p = .34, RMSEA = .01, mostró que las quejas de falta de apoyo incrementan estrés y llevan a cansancio, el estrés aumenta la ira e incrementa el cansancio, y que la ira contribuye a quejas de falta de apoyo.

Abstract

It was designed a study with the aim of establishing the relationship between perceived stress, anger expression and burnout syndrome in housewives. For this we collected a sample of 226 Mexican women. Three measure instruments (Perceived Stress Scale [PSS14], Anger Expression [AX] scale of the STAXI-2 and Housewives Burnout Questionnaire [CUBAC-21] were applied to this sample. Initially we proved the internal consistency (α = .83) of the scale SPP14 and found evidence about the adequate fit to a correlated twofactor model, χ2/df = 2.33, RMSEA = .08. Thereinafter we contrasted three models of the relationship between perceived stress, anger expression and burnout syndrome. The model with the best fit, χ2 (1, N = 226) = 0.92, p = .34, RMSEA = .01, showed that support lack complaints increase stress and carry to exhaustion, stress accentuates anger and increases exhaustion; in addition, anger contributes to support lack complaints.
