Burnout symptoms are very common in health professionals. Public health workers are exposed to high levels of distress due to the need to face their parents’ health problems. For this reason, they need to preserve some resources that can protect them from emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal realization. Therefore, we analyzed the relationship between resilience and burnout in a sample of 85 health workers from the hospital of Lodi, Italy. Subjects who took part of the study are physicians, nurses, health and social workers, etc. Results show a significative correlation (p < 0.01) between resilience and two of the three burnout dimensions (emotional exhaustion and personal realization) and a predictive value of resilience for the same dimensions mentioned above (p < 0.01). These considerations confirm the importance of resilience to face distress and to avoid burnout.
