Working time in the institution was associated with psychic burnout (p = 0.03). Conclusion: on average, the respondents did not show values suggestive of burnout, but the length of action was associated with the dimensions of the injury. It is noteworthy that preventive measures should be performed to eliminate or reduce the possible chances of emergence of the disease
