After a brief (1) introduction to the context, the study provides a series of answers to several questions such as: (2) Short theoretical discussion: What is burnout?; (3) How does it manifest?; (4) What are the main risk factors favouring the appearance and maintenance of burnout?; (5) What are the consequences of burnout? (6) Burnout: What are the main methods and techniques of prevention and treatment?. The study concludes with a series of relevant discussions and (7) conclusions. The main purpose of the study is to outline a clear picture of the burnout syndrome, which can later contribute to future empirical studies.
