Burnout syndrome, characterized by physical, emotional and mental exhaustion, is prevalent among health professionals due to the high demands and continuous exposure to the suffering of others. Understanding the risk factors and effective interventions is crucial to mitigating its negative impacts. Objective: The literature review carried out in this study aims to address recent evidence on the main risk factors and effective interventions for burnout syndrome in healthcare professionals. Methods: A systematic search was carried out of scientific literature published between 2009 and 2024 in the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar databases. A total of 690 studies were identified, of which 33 met all the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in detail. Results and Discussion: The review revealed a high prevalence of Burnout among health professionals, with significant organizational (work overload, lack of institutional support) and individual (perfectionism, low resilience) risk factors. Effective interventions include shift restructuring, recognition programs, mindfulness techniques and psychological support. The implementation of social support strategies and the use of mental health technologies have also shown promise. The integration of organizational and individual interventions is essential to reduce the effects of burnout. Conclusion: The prevention and management of burnout requires multifaceted interventions that address both the work environment and the personal needs of health professionals. The implementation of public health policies and ongoing support programs is key to ensuring the mental health of healthcare workers and the quality of patient care.
