This research aims to measure the levels of burnout and engagement in physicians from health institutions in Metropolitan Lima and Callao, in the context of COVID-19, through a non-experimental cross-sectional study with a descriptive scope. Two instruments were used simultaneously, Maslach Burnout Inventory for Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) to measure burnout, and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) to measure engagement, the first was created by Christina Maslach and Susan E. Jackson, and the second, by Wilmar Schaufeli. The surveys were applied to 400 registered physicians who work in health institutions in Metropolitan Lima and Callao during the COVID-19 pandemic, which identified that 80% of physicians showed very high levels of engagement, and 48% very low levels of burnout. Therefore, based on the results obtained and that engagement mitigates the risk that physicians suffer from burnout, an implementation plan was developed with strategies focused on maintaining high levels of engagement. Its implementation by leaders of health institutions will contribute to develop more productive health professionals with a better quality of care for patients. This is especially important during the context of a pandemic, but it is also relevant in normal situations, since leaders are needed to ensure the organizational conditions so that doctors have an optimal state of mental health to carry out their life-saving work.
