| Summary: | Introduction: Nursing professionals are exposed to situations that can trigger work-related stress and burnout syndrome. Objective: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with work-related stress and burnout syndrome among nursing professionals who work in oncology. Method: Cross-sectional study carried out with 231 nursing professionals who worked in a High Complexity Oncology Center in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Workrelated stress was assessed by means of the work stress scale and burnout syndrome by the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The association between outcomes and independent variables was performed through Poisson Regression with robust variance. P-values<0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The prevalence of moderate/intense work-related stress was 75.8%, and 38.9% for the professionals who presented burnout syndrome. Age, work accident history, and verbal and physical aggression were positively associated with work-related stress and burnout syndrome. In addition, self-reported stress was a risk factor for burnout syndrome. Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of work-related stress and burnout syndrome, and these outcomes were associated with age, history of work accidents, and workplace violence. |
