ABSTRACT

Introduction: it is recognized that nursing work in the hospital setting has several sources of stress with implications for nurses’ physical and mental health. The effects of work stress have been described as Burnout syndrome (BS), so this paper examines the elements involved in the problem.
Development: it presents the scientific evidence on the factors causing the BS: situational (job characteristics, occupational and organizational), individual (sociodemographic characteristics, personality and attitudes to work) and violence towards nurses as an emerging factor. It presents evidence on the impact on nurses and the institutions and interventions that have shown effectiveness at the individual level (education and psychosocial interventions) and at organizational level.
Conclusions: for daily practice it is very important that manager nurses and staff know all about BS to prevent and intervene promptly. Research priority is to build a line that overcomes the methodological differences that limit comparisons of prevalence, associated factors and consequences in the national context. To include evaluation of interventions is a preponderant issue.
