As they are exposed to inadequate working conditions, physiotherapists may acquire Burnout Syndrome (BS), a body response to chronic stress which is associated to the work environment. Objective: The objective is to investigate the occurrence of BS among physiotherapists at a state hospital and correlate the disease with demographic and labor variables. Methods: This study was conducted at the Paulo Guerra Governor Restoration Hospital, in 2015. This study included physiotherapists who were actively working at the hospital, and those with a history of depression or other emotional disorders were excluded. The self-applicable Maslach Burnout Inventory was used. Descriptive statistics was then used to characterize the sample and establish the frequency of BS; multiple regression analysis was used to establish relations between BS and the demographic and labor variables. Results: 48 physiotherapists were included in this study. Most of these professionals were working in ICUs (56.3%, N=27). The presence of BS was identified in 54.2% of the participants (N=26). Correlations were found between the number of daily physical therapy sessions and emotional exhaustion (r=0.41), and with personal accomplishment (r= -0.30), as well as between age and depersonalization (r=0.11). Conclusion: BS was observed in over half the physiotherapists. Positive correlations were observed between the number of cases dealt with daily and emotional exhaustion, whereas negative correlation between age with depersonalization and the number of daily physical therapy sessions with personal accomplishment were found.
