O IMPACTO DA SÍNDROME DE BURNOUT EM PROFISSIONAIS DE ENFERMAGEM

Abstract

Burnout Syndrome is characterized by chronic occupational stress, manifesting mainly through emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced professional satisfaction. In the field of nursing, nurses present vulnerabilities to the development of Burnout Syndrome due to intense workload, long working shifts, high care responsibilities, and constant exposure to suffering, pain, and death. Added to this is the fact that nurses face inadequate working conditions, with a deficit of human and material resources, which contribute to the worsening of Burnout Syndrome. In view of this, the present study aimed to show the factors associated with the development of Burnout Syndrome in nurses, as well as its impacts on mental health and professional development, in addition to identifying coping strategies. For this purpose, a bibliographic review methodology was adopted, with a qualitative approach, based on scientific articles published in the last six years and obtained through databases such as PubMed, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). In light of the findings, it is concluded that, althoughthere are initiatives aimed at promoting nurses’ health, it remains essential to strengthen actions focused on their mental health, taking into account the specificities and demands of their work environment.
