Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the incidence of Burnout Syndrome (BS) in nurses, nursing assistants and technicians, aiming to determine sociodemographic and occupational variables, in order to provide elements for a deeper understanding of BS in these professionals. Methods: This is a descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, using the integrative literature review (ILR) as the technique. The data survey was carried out between the months of October 2020 and January 2021, in the database of Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) and Virtual Health Library (VHL), using the health descriptors: “Burnout Syndrome AND Health Professionals AND Nursing AND Work ", being found 133 publications in total, after applying the eligibility and ineligibility criteria, 11 articles were considered to compose this study. Results: The prevalence of BS in nursing professionals is still quite significant, with a higher incidence in nursing assistants (52.94%), being mainly related to work overload. Final considerations: Therefore, it becomes clear the need for organizations to deal with the health status of employees, particularly those with greater physical and psychological proximity to the patient / family, so that BS can be prevented.
