Abstract

Objective: To identify in the scientific literature the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome among professionals of different surgical specialties, its main contributing factors and the impacts of the syndrome in personal and professional fields. Methods: This is an integrative review of the literature, with articles from the PubMed database, with articles published between the years of 2018 and 2023, in English or Portuguese language with free full text available. The bibliographic research was carried out in June 2023, using the MeSh terms "Burnout, professional" and "Surgeons" using the boolean "AND". Results: With the research, 296 articles were found and 7 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed for this review. Final considerations: Surgeons are highly subject to Burnout Syndrome, experiencing emotional exhaustion, reduced personal accomplishment and depersonalization. It is necessary to identify the syndrome's presentation more promptly and to reduce its environmental and social causes so that its incidence is reduced.
