Background: Although burnout levels and the corresponding risk factors have been studied
in many nursing services, to date no meta-analytical studies have been undertaken of obstetrics and
gynecology units to examine the heterogeneity of burnout in this environment and the variables
associated with it. In the present paper, we aim to determine the prevalence, levels, and related
factors of burnout syndrome among nurses working in gynecology and obstetrics services. Methods:
A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature were carried out using the following sources:
CINAHL (Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature), LILACS (Latin American and
Caribbean Health Sciences Literature), Medline, ProQuest (Proquest Health and Medical Complete),
SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), and Scopus. Results: Fourteen relevant studies were
identified, including, for this meta-analysis, n = 464 nurses. The following prevalence values were
obtained: emotional exhaustion 29% (95% CI: 11–52%), depersonalization 19% (95% CI: 6–38%),
and low personal accomplishment 44% (95% CI: 18–71%). The burnout variables considered were
sociodemographic (age, marital status, number of children, gender), work-related (duration of the
workday, nurse-patient ratio, experience or number of miscarriages/abortions), and psychological
(anxiety, stress, and verbal violence). Conclusion: Nurses working in obstetrics and gynecology units
present high levels of burnout syndrome. In over 33% of the study sample, at least two of the burnout
dimensions considered are apparent.
