Abstract

Introduction: Burnout syndrome (BS) is recognized as one of the major psychosocial issues affecting workers in Brazil. Studies suggests that poor sleep quality may increase the risk of developing BS. Objective: to identify the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome and evaluate its association with sleep quality among employees of the Federal Institute of Sergipe (FIS). Methods: this observational descriptive study with a quantitative approach, involving 147 randomly selected employes of FIS. Data were collected using a structured form containing sociodemographic variables, the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Service Survey (MBI-HSS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Results: It was observed that 43.5% of respondents were at risk of developing BS, while 34.0% were already in the early stage of the condition. All participants demonstrated poor sleep quality. A significant association was found between poor sleep quality (OR = 2.76; p < 0.004), excessive daytime sleepiness (OR = 3.87; p < 0.01), and the presence of BS, suggesting that the poorer the sleep quality, the higher the risk of developing the syndrome. Conclusions: Our findings reveal a relatively high prevalence of BS among IFS staff, with poor sleep quality emerging as a key associated factor.
