Abstract

Burnout stands out globally as one of the most worrisome occupational psychosocial factors. The objective of the present review was to analyze scientific studies on burnout in Latin American health professionals. A total of 52 article published between 2015 and 2021 is the sample for this research. Peer and judge analyses were performed with the PRISMA method, in addition to N-VIVO and bibliometrics for data interpretation. The findings indicate that sociodemographic factors have an important role for the syndrome. However, the ones of greater labor risk are work shifts, exacerbated demands, lack of rest periods, routine changes, and labor violence. The most significant factors in protecting burnout are having children, a healthy lifestyle, social support, work engagement, and sufficient work resources. It was concluded that the symptoms and comorbidities need to be better investigated in the differentiation of clinical pictures and in the management strategies at early stages of this syndrome.

Keywords: burnout, Latin America, health professionals.
