ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate the prevalence and factors associated with the burnout syndrome and quality of life among nursing professionals. Methods: Cross-sectional, analytical study, developed with 83 professionals in emergency care units in the city of Campina Grande-PB.

Results: Most professionals showed low professional effectiveness (78.3; n=65), average depersonalization (53.0%; n=44) and average emotional exhaustion (55.4%; n=46). There was a statistical difference between the scores of the syndrome and the pain (p=0.03), vitality (p=0.04) and social aspect (p=0.03); significant correlation between the syndrome and vitality (p<0.001), mental health (p=0.01) and general quality of life (p=0.04).
