Abstract
The aim was to provide information about the potential risks of Burnout syndrome and the exposure of health professionals in the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an integrative literature review study that followed the PICO strategy. The search for articles was performed in three electronic databases: PubMed/Medline, BVS and SciELO. The descriptors "mental health", "burnout", "coronavirus" and "health personnel" were used with full texts, published in the period from 2016 to 2021, in English, Portuguese and Spanish, and the Boolean operator AND was used. 168 articles. Thirty-five articles were selected to be read in their entirety and 10 met the criteria of this review. Evidence shows that health professionals on the front lines of coping with COVID-19 are more vulnerable to developing mental disorders, exhaustion, and suicidal ideation.
