The population profile is 57,9% female, between 25 and 30 years old, 60,5% married and they have children, 70,3% have finished high school,2,7% are graduated and 27% are specialized. 34,2% of the professionals work in this area around 3,5 years, 55,3% are around 3,5 years at the emergency unit and 56,8% work exclusively at this place. About the Syndrome dimensions, low scores were verified for emotional decrease and depersonalization, and high incompetence (reverse score).
