Objective:
To identify the factors associated with burnout among professionals of a multidisciplinary team from an oncology hospital.
Method:
This is a descriptive quantitative study that used a cross-sectional observational design. A sociodemographic, clinical, and professional questionnaire developed by the authors and three items from the Professional Quality of Life Scale were used for data collection. For data analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests were used. The significance level adopted was 5%.
Results:
A total of 442 professionals from the multidisciplinary team participated in the study. Participants showing more factors associated with burnout were those who witnessed a higher number of deaths and conflicts in the workplace, worked the night shift, used medications, and did not have religious beliefs, among others.
Conclusion:
Although professionals had an average score in the burnout domain, many variables were related to factors associated with burnout, identifying imminent danger to workers and exposing patients and the institution. Strategies should be developed to minimize the risks identified in this study.
