description The intent was to learn the extent to which the effects of fatigue and stress trigger Burnout Syndrome (BS) in health professionals. Study participants included 181 professionals, ages 21 to 62 (Mean = 37.18; SD = 9.89), being 80.7% women, from public and private institutions in various states. The participants answered the following instruments: (1) Sociodemographic questionnaire; (2) Questionnaire to Evaluate Burnout Syndrome; (3) Fatigue Evaluation Scale; (4) Job Stress Scale. Descriptive statistics, Chi-squared distribution test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and Multiple Linear Regression were used. The results indicated the prevalence of a low BS profile (69.5%), followed by a deteriorated BS profile (20.6%). In addition, fatigue was the only predictor of BS dimensions. It was concluded that fatigue, social support, and control are indicators of BS.
