The objective of this study is to analyze the factor structure of MBI-HSS in prison officers of Arica-Chile. A factorial design was used. The population is constituted by all prison officers (gendarmes) in the Region of Arica and Parinacota (N = 290). Of these, 243 were men (83.8%) and 47 women (16.2%). The study was approved by the Commission of Investigation and Ethics of the National Directorate of Gendarmerie of Chile. Maslach Burnout Inventory, in its version for human services professionals (MBI-HSS) (Maslach and Jackson, 1986, adaptation to Spanish by Gil-Monte, 2005), validated in Chile by Olivares (2009). In conclusion, the questionnaire applied in the research presented acceptable levels in terms of its internal consistency, which indicate that its psychometric properties are adjusted to the application and prison context, in addition, other investigations agree with the results. The present investigation has confirmed the three-dimensional structure of the MBI-HSS, results similar to those of other investigations.
