The present work carried out a survey of the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome (BS) in health professionals, who were in the frontline in the confrontation of the pandemic of COVID-19. The methodological process followed the PRISMA and COCHRANE recommendations. The phases of screening, eligibility and data extraction were performed by independent reviewers in standardized spreadsheets. After this process, 26 cross-sectional studies were included. The main outcomes found corroborate the variation of the mean scores in the three dimensions of BS according to the professional area, site and public affected. Most of the studies pointed nursing professionals as the most affected population, with higher prevalence of compatible scores in the three dimensions of SB, and the female population was up to 60% more affected than the male population. These data allow us to infer that more effective measures need to be taken regarding the mental well-being of these professionals. Measures related to infrastructure, working conditions, and psychotherapeutic support are among the main indications for preventing physical and emotional exhaustion.
