Summary/Abstract: Burnout syndrome is one of the most common psychological problems encountered among healthcare professionals, with significant consequences both on the well-being of staff and on the quality of medical care. Constant exposure to occupational stress, overwork, increased responsibility, emotional pressure and lack of institutional support favor the occurrence of professional burnout.The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the psychosocial factors involved in the occurrence of burnout syndrome in healthcare professionals, as well as to highlight the relationship between working conditions, social support and the level of professional burnout.It is assumed that high levels of occupational stress, low social support, poor organizational climate and difficulties in balancing work and personal life are significantly associated with a higher level of burnout syndrome in healthcare professionals.This research has a quantitative, descriptive and correlational design, with a sample of health professionals (doctors, nurses, clinical psychologists and other medical personnel). This study highlights a significant relationship between the intensity of occupational stress and the level of burnout, as well as a protective effect of social support and a favorable organizational climate. At the same time, specialists exposed to a high workload and high emotional involvement present higher levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced professional satisfaction.The results of the study can contribute to the development of prevention and intervention programs aimed at reducing the risk of burnout in medical institutions. They can also underpin organizational policies regarding the promotion of occupational health, psychological support and a balanced professional environment.
