Objective: To evaluate and compare the nursing practice environments in Intensive Care Units of a public and private hospital and the prevalence of burnout among nursing professionals. Method: Cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative approach to the data. The data collection took place between October 2018 and March 2019, and it was carried out through a questionnaire with socio-occupational variables and with metrics of intensity.

We included professionals with, at least, six months of employment, and those who were on leave or on a fixed-term employment contract were excluded.

The prevalence of burnout among nurses was 2.5% in the public hospital and 9.1% in the private hospital, and among nursing technicians, it was 9.5% and 8.5%, respectively.
