This book provides an overview of the general aspects of Burnout Syndrome in nursing work, based on research and scientific articles on the subject. Given its high prevalence in nursing and its impact on society, it is important to understand the factors that determine its onset. We invite readers to learn more about Burnout Syndrome, its incidence, risk factors and symptoms, as well as to reflect on the consequences for professionals, society and institutions. We offer them the means to rethink the dynamics and organisation of the work process in the contemporary world after reading this book. This book is aimed at nursing professionals and students in the field who are looking to improve their knowledge and who are concerned not only with those who are being cared for, but also with those who care for them. Happy reading!
