Resumen
Palliative care nurses are exposed to hard situations, death, and duel feelings in their daily
practice. These, and other work stressors, can favor burnout development. Thus, it is important to
analyze the prevalence and risk factors of burnout in palliative care nurses and estimate its prevalence.
A systematic review and meta-analysis was done with quantitative primary studies. n = 15 studies
were included with n = 6 studies including information for the meta-analysis. The meta-analytic
prevalence estimation of emotional exhaustion was 24% (95% CI 16–34%), for depersonalization
was 30% (95% CI 18–44%) and for low personal accomplishment was 28% with a sample of n = 693
palliative care nurses. The main variables related with burnout are occupational variables followed
by psychological variables. Some interventions to improve working conditions of palliative care
nurses should be implemented to reduce burnout.
