    RESUMEN Objetivo: analizar las relaciones entre algunas variables psicosociales y las implicadas en un modelo de burnout, y estudiar el papel mediador de la culpa entre indolencia y búsqueda de ayuda especializada. Método: diseño transversal, descriptivo y correlacional. Muestra: 272 gerocultoras. Variables: sobrecarga laboral, apoyo social en el trabajo, autonomía, desgaste psíquico, ilusión por el trabajo, indolencia, culpa y búsqueda de ayuda especializada. Análisis: descriptivos, consistencia interna, correlación, path análisis y bootstrapping. Resultados: las relaciones entre las variables muestran que las variables psicosociales determinan el síndrome de acuerdo con la literatura especializada y en línea con las hipótesis planteadas. La culpa media la relación entre indolencia y búsqueda de ayuda especializada. Discusión y conclusiones: se compara con la literatura en el campo, se aporta evidencia sobre la adecuación del modelo en el desarrollo del burnout y se destaca la importancia de los sentimientos de culpa en trabajos que requieren interrelación personal. Se ofrecen, además, orientaciones para la prevención e intervención, y limitaciones del estudio.
