Abstrakt/ Abstract: Described as a modern disease of epidemic proportions, burnout evolved from a unique association with human service workers. It was first defined in the 1970s as a state of exhaustion due to excessive work demands and has since gained worldwide attention as a problem of psychosocial adjustment. Burnout can occur in any profession, but the syndrome occurs mainly in professions that have as a common feature work with people, or at least contact with people and dependence on their evaluation. It seems that one of the most common groups is health workers, which can have significant negative personal as well as professional consequences for them. But despite these facts, widespread public interest and extensive publications, there remains a debate about what burnout syndrome actually is, what its diagnostic criteria are, its prevalence, and whether it should be considered a distinct psychopathological entity.
