The questionnaires used were the Maslach Burnout Inventory, to evaluate the syndrome of professional exhaustion, and a self-prepared questionnaire consisting of 8 sociodemographic questions and aspects of their daily life that may be related to the abandonment of work.

Results:

the sample studied has an middle level on the emotional exhaustion scale with 23.3 points (standard deviation = 11.42), a high level on the depersonalization scale with 10.70 points (6.33) and a high level of personal achievement with 31.63 points (9.25).

Conclusions:
