Abstract

Objectives

This study aimed to explore the published literature on risk and protective factors associated with burnout among professionals working in death-related settings.

Study design

Scoping Review.

Methods

This review adopted the JBI guidelines for Scoping Reviews and followed the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A comprehensive search strategy has been implemented across PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. Grey literature was not included in this review. Eligible studies encompassed descriptions of risk or protective factors associated with burnout in professionals working in death scenarios. Two independent researchers screened titles and abstracts and subsequently conducted full-text assessments based on predefined inclusion criteria. Relevant data have been systematically extracted and tabulated. The findings were thematically organized and qualitatively summarized, with potential visual aids such as graphs and tables.

Results

The studies highlighted risk and protective factors for burnout among death-related professions, such as demographic and personal factors, work-related factors, and psychological and social factors.

Conclusions

This study summarizes the current knowledge about burnout among professionals working in death scenarios. Further research is necessary for the development of prevention programs destined for this population.
