The study population was the medical and nursing staff of the Intensive Care (IT), Emergency Medicine (SMU) and Clinic services who worked with COVID-19 during 2021. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaire was used and complementary closed questions to identify, among these cases, those that were diagnosed and treated by the institution.Results: Of the 219 workers, 55.3% (121/219) were nurses.
