abstract = {The correlation between the burnout syndrome and sociodemographic variables in nursing
professionals has been widely studied though research results are contradictory. The aim of this study
was to assess the impact of gender, marital status, and children on the dimensions of the burnout
syndrome (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment) in nursing
professionals, as measured with the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The search was performed in May
2018 in the next databases: CINAHL, CUIDEN, Dialnet, Psicodoc, ProQuest Platform, OVID Platform,
and Scopus with the search equation (“Maslach Burnout Inventory” OR “MBI”) AND “nurs*”,
without using any search restriction. The sample was n = 78 studies: 57 studies for gender; 32 for
marital status; 13 for having children. A statistically significant relation between depersonalization
and gender (r = 0.078), marital status (r = 0.047), and children (r = 0.053) was found. A significant
relation was also found between emotional exhaustion and children (r = 0.048). The results showed
that being male, being single or divorced, and not having children were related to the highest levels
of burnout in nurses. Moreover, these relations could be accentuated by the influence of moderator
variables (age, seniority, job satisfaction, etc.), which, in combination with the previously mentioned
significant relations, should be evaluated in the design burnout risk profiles for nursing professionals.},
