Abstract

Burnout Syndrome is characterized by the triad of emotional exhaustion, low professional achievement and feelings of derealization. Objective: analyze the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome and related aspects in resident physicians of Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio from November to December 2017.

The results were analyzed statistically using the SPSS 22.0 device, with the Pearson Chi-Square tests and the Fisher's Exact Test. Results: the results indicate that 68.7% (101) of the residents have high levels of Burnout Syndrome. Through the Epworth diurnal sleepiness scale, we found that in 19.7% they bring as a result very pathological index. We observed that there was no significant statistical influence of the sex (p = 0.637) and the specialty (p = 0.127) on the incidence of Burnout Syndrome and that there was no association between Severe Burnout Syndrome and elevated daytime sleepiness indexes (p = 0,340). Conclusion: it is concluded that resident physicians have a high degree of Burnout Syndrome and high pathological indices of daytime sleepiness. Thus, changes in this type of training are necessary.
