Abstract
Objective: To analyze the perceived stress and Burnout Syndrome among health professionals in emergency care units during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: This is a cross-sectional study conducted with 55 health professionals from two emergency care services located in Paraná (Brazil). Data were collected from September to November 2020, by applying the Perceived Stress Scale, Preliminary Burnout Identification Questionnaire, and sociodemographic questionnaire, which were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The average perceived stress was 24.1 and the highest level was associated with gender, workload, and perception of physical and mental fatigue. Installed/advanced burnout was identified in 65.5% of the participants and was associated with gender, time since graduation, and specialization in emergency. Conclusion: For the respondents, during the pandemic, Burnout Syndrome and perceived stress were associated with sociodemographic and professional factors.
