Background:

Burnout syndrome and presenteeism can have detrimental effects, particularly in the nursing field.

Objective:

To explore the association between burnout syndrome, occupational and health aspects, presenteeism, and loss of productivity in nursing workers.

Methodology:

Cross-sectional study with 291 nursing workers. Four instruments were applied - Socio-demographic, occupational and health questionnaire; Maslach Burnout Inventory; Stanford Presenteeism Scale; Work Limitations Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, association tests, and logistic regression, respecting the significance level of 5%.

Results:

Burnout syndrome was associated with dual employment, diagnosis of anxiety associated with depression, and smoking. Burnout syndrome was also associated with loss of productivity, both overall and in all specific domains.

Conclusion:

Burnout syndrome is linked to occupational and health aspects and presenteeism, resulting in loss of productivity. Understanding the impact of these phenomena contributes to designing effective prevention strategies.
