Descriptive, inferential statistics and multivariate analysis were applied.;;;;RESULTS:;; average scores were found for professional stress and satisfaction, corresponding to 44,23 and 65,46 points, respectively. As regards professional burnout, an average score was found on the emotional exhaustion subscale; a high score for depersonalization and a low score for professional accomplishment.
