Abstract

Introduction: medical doctors, patients and society require the harmonic development of a contemporaneous ethic which responds to the demands of scientific, technical and cultural growth as well as to the socioeconomic and political transformations the present century entails.
Objective: to determine the influence of Thomas's disease or Burn-out syndrome in 5 outpatient clinics and 2 dentistry clinics in Pinar del Rio and Consolacion del Sur municipalities during 2011.
Material and Method: a descriptive research was carried out considering the opinions of 234 professionals polled and a composed-survey that included 5 questions with 5 options in order to choice the most acceptable ones. Results were processed using descriptive statistics to determine the absolute and relative frequencies represented in tables.
Results: the answers were related to the current problems, a crisis in moral values reached 64,5% of the answers of professionals; more than 50% thought this crisis could be avoided in part, they recommended better wage conditions to strengthen motivations, in more than three-fifth parts and 32% considered humanistic formation of professionals should be better to improve the organization of health services. The 45,7% added that user-patient-institution relationship showed imperfections in its organization and recommended to pay attention to the collective analysis of problems to provide and strengthen moral values among the health workers, detecting this when more than 70% of the answers were summed up.
Conclusions: despite the demotivation that characterizes Thomas's disease, in view of the confidence in health professionals and the political will that direct the health work toward the excellence the disease can be prevented.
