Introduction: Burnout syndrome results from a chronic process of exposure to work stressors. It is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low professional achievement. Health professionals are prone to it because they deal directly with people and suffering, which affects their health and the care offered to society. Objectives: To study the prevalence and predictors of Burnout Syndrome in Community Health Agents in the Primary Care network in the city of São Luís-MA. Methodology: This is a quantitative, descriptive study, with a cross-sectional design, carried out with 102 community health agents who work in the ESF of the Sanitary District Itaqui Bacanga de São Luís-MA. To characterize the Burnout Syndrome predictors, a sociodemographic questionnaire and the standardized Burnout Characterization Scale were used to analyze the magnitude of the Syndrome (Maslach Burnout Interventory instrument). For statistical analysis, the Epiinfo7 program was used with descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analysis. Results: The prevalence of the Syndrome was 33.4% (95%CI: 26.94 - 4) for the characterization of the domains, the results were: (56.9%) for emotional exhaustion, (78.4%) with high depersonalization and (73.5%) with low professional achievement. Of the research variables associated with the Syndrome, those that were statistically significant: income (p: 0.031, 95% CI: 25.4-30, SD: 14.1) and marital status (p; 0.09, 95% CI: 13.4-16.3%, Sd: 7.4) for the Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization domains, respectively. Final considerations: Among the community health agents in the Itaqui – Bacanga de São Luís health district, there is a significant prevalence of Burnout syndrome, requiring preventive measures and interventions to improve the quality of the occupational environment.
