Background: Burnout syndrome is a recurring problem in workers from different areas that causes cognitive, emotional, physical and behavioral disorders that diminish the quality of life of those who suffer from it. It has been reported that there is a risk of developing anxiety and depression if proper treatment is not provided. Objective: to evaluate the effect of a cognitive behavioral intervention in the burnout syndrome, comorbidities such as: anxiety, depression and improving the quality of life in two medical workers from Mexico City. Method: A quantitative investigation was carried out in a case report mode with an intrasubject design with pretreatment and post treatment measurements. Results: In the statistical analysis, no changes were observed in the scores that were statistically significant (p≥0.05), however, in the visual inspection changes in the scores of the BDI (Pre = 14, Post = 4), BAI (Pre = 27, Post = 1), MBI (Pre = 88, Post = 52) and Q-SLE-Q (Pre = 21, Post = 31) for case 1, although in case 2 no changes were observed in two of the instrument: BDI (Pre = 11, Post = 12) Q-LES-Q (Pre = 32, Post = 33) and a partial decrease in the other two BAI (Pre = 18, Post = 9) and MBI (Pre = 60 , Post = 53). Conclusion: From the observed changes, it is inferred that the intervention was possibly effective for one of the cases. However, it is suggested to improve the research design to obtain better results.
