Abstract

Despite the legal and recognition academic of Professional Burnout as a work related disease, the characterization of this process of illness and the corresponding notification represent a challenge to occupational health. Thus, this correlational, analytical and cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the Professional Burnout in a sample of 149 nurses at a university hospital correlating it with the stressors of the hospital work environment. The Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Nurses Stress Inventory and a form of characterization of the subjects were applied. Considering the limits of the instruments, in a collective perspective, the results indicated the presence of professional burnout in 7.3% of nurses (quartile as cut-off point), the correlation among areas of inventories and the vulnerability to this type of illness among nurses, potentiated by experience of stressors in the working environment (AU)
