Abstract
Objective: The present study aims to identify the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome associated with coping with COVID-19 in primary health care professionals in the city of Recife-PE. Methods: A cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, using the Maslach Burnout Inventory – Human scale as an instrument to assess the burnout syndrome. The instrument consists of 22 items related to work-related feelings. Results: After approval by the ethics committee and exposing the informed consent to the research participants, 71 questionnaires were evaluated and a result of 21.1% of professionals presenting high scores indicative for BS was obtained. Among health professionals, it was observed that the most affected were physicians when compared to nursing professionals, representing 93.3% of the group with a high level of SB. Conclusion: With the continuity of the pandemic period, it is expected that many professionals will still be affected by BS. Therefore, it is essential that mental health care be directed to all professionals at this level of care.
