Abstract
Objective: Review the factors related to the manifestation of Burnout Syndrome in nursing workers. Methods: This is an integrative literature review. The collection was carried out from February to September 2017. The inclusion criteria were articles in Portuguese, English and Spanish presented in full online and published from 2013 to 2017. Results: According to the articles listed in the study, it was found that the Burnout Syndrome (BS) mainly affects female nursing professionals, young people and married, and they have a high chance of predisposition to the development of this syndrome, because health professionals are in longer contact with the patient and your family members. Moreover, in the hospital environment, these professionals are subjected to unhealthy and precarious working conditions, which generate a low quality of life, as well as consequences for the employing institution, as the effects are reflected in the productivity of this professional, the efficiency and in the organization, costs of employee health care, hiring and training of new workers. Final considerations: It was evidenced the need for more accurate and early diagnoses, besides the establishment of preventive and treatment measures for BS.
