Burnout syndrome a risk to physical education professionals: an integrative review

Abstract

This research aimed to identify and analyze the Burnout syndrome characteristics in physical education professionals in Brazil. An integrative review was carried out, from January to July 2022. The research were performed in the BVS/Portal Bireme, Scielo, Lilacs and Google Scholar. The literature reported 10 studies in Brazil in the last 20 years. In general, the mean prevalence of Burnout syndrome was 11,55%. Moreover, the studies associate professional exhaustion with overwork, multiple jobs and inadequate remuneration. The study highlighted the syndrome incidence and risks to this professional class and emphasized the importance of maintaining adequate working conditions and environments. However, more studies on Burnout syndrome in physical education professionals should be conducted in Brazil.
