To contribute to the understanding of the “Burnout” and self-care of family educators of Manabí, was characterized socioeconomically the population, it was felt the presence of the syndrome and determined the implementation of self-care activities. The methodology considered a quanti-qualitative approach, with descriptive, a cross-sectional non-experimental design, applying techniques and instruments: a socio-economic tab, a questionnaire for self-care activities, and the Maslach´s Burnout Inventory. The population was composed of a sample of two hundred and thirty-six family educators on dual training. It was found that most of them present the syndrome: mild form, and lower percentage of moderate and severe presence. It was found that the place of the body with more somatization is neck-back and head, and that the most widely practiced self-care activities are physical activity, “say no when necessary,” and sleep; in addition, the majority was agree to practice self-care activities and consider themselves capable of abandoning an unhealthy habit. It is concluded that there is a considerable percentage of the population that is at risk because it has mild presence of the syndrome, but not aware of suffering, while for the other participants it would be necessary the intervention specified with self-care and professional treatment strategies.
