Description:This paper discusses the Burnout syndrome, understood as an adaptation disorder due to chronic occupational stress, triggering both physical and psychological symptoms that significantly affect the professional performance of individuals who work in services. Secondary school teachers consider themselves as vulnerable to this syndrome, since they work with teenagers that demand better communication, attention and guidance due to the normal characteristics of the age. It also describes some of the factors that may affect teachers, either from an individual perspective (stress, role, age and civil status, among others); or from a labor perspective (low involvement, work overload, bureaucracy, environment, individual and institutional consequences and preventive measures).
