Background: burnout syndrome is a significant problem in nursing professionals. Although, the unit where nurses
work may influence burnout development. Nurses that work in primary care units may be at higher risk of burnout.
The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal
accomplishment in primary care nurses.
Methods: We performed a meta-analysis. We searched Pubmed, CINAHL, Scopus, Scielo, Proquest, CUIDEN and
LILACS databases up to September 2017 to identify cross-sectional studies assessing primary care nurses’ burnout
with the Maslach Burnout Inventory were included. The search was done in September 2017.
Results: After the search process, n = 8 studies were included in the meta-analysis, representing a total sample of n
= 1110 primary care nurses. High emotional exhaustion prevalence was 28% (95% Confidence Interval = 22–34%),
high depersonalization was 15% (95% Confidence Interval = 9–23%) and 31% (95% Confidence Interval = 6–66%) for
low personal accomplishment.
Conclusions: Problems such as emotional exhaustion and low personal accomplishment are very common among
primary care nurses, while depersonalization is less prevalent. Primary care nurses are a burnout risk group.
