Abstract

Events associated with Burnout Syndrome (BS) in radiology include substandard patient care and lack of opportunity for professional development. Therefore, evaluating BS in radiology is an initial step to improve working conditions and, thus, enhance patient care. Objective: In order to demonstrate the problems and consequences of BS, this literary review seeks to debate the dubitable subject, moving towards knowledge and awareness of the theme, to improve the daily life of the professional of radiological techniques. Methodology: It is a review of the literature, conducted between august and december 2021, based on the search for complete articles of systematic review and meta-analysis of the last 10 (ten) years, in English and Portuguese, selected in consultation with PubMEd, from the Medline source, using as keywords: radiology, burnout, 22 articles involving Burnout Syndrome in the Radiology and health area of the 318 listed in the search were filtered. Final considerations: It is important that the prevention of Burnout Syndrome is done before the work environment becomes harmful to employees and patients, through measures that make the institution more organized and responsible with the human being. Some simple attitudes of the institution can make all the difference in the treatment of patients and in the execution of exams, aiming at the best possible quality in care and the best diagnosis for patients.
