Key result
Burnout linked to up to ~223% higher metabolic syndrome risk in primary care nurses.
Why the study?
The association between Burnout Syndrome and Metabolic Syndrome had not been investigated in Primary Health Care Nursing professionals.

Cross-Sectional (n=1,125)
Yes
Is Burnout Syndrome associated with Metabolic Syndrome in Primary Health Care Nursing professionals?
Burnout syndrome is significantly associated with a higher likelihood of metabolic syndrome among primary health care nursing professionals, particularly in men.
Burnout screening may flag higher metabolic syndrome risk in primary care nurses; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before practice change.
In the population of Primary Health Care Nursing (PHC) professionals, the association between Burnout Syndrome (BS) and Metabolic Syndrome (MS) has not been investigated. The objective was to evaluate the association between BS and MS among PHC Nursing Professionals. A cross-sectional, multicenter, population-based study was conducted in the state of Bahia, Brazil, with 1,125 professionals. The prevalence of BS and MS corresponded to 18.3% and 24.4%, respectively. The prevalence in women of BS was 16.4% and of MS 23.7%, in men 31.6% for BS and 29.4% for MS. Men with BS are 3.23 times more likely to develop MS, and women 1.48 times more. BS was associated between men and women and exhibited a good discriminatory predictive power.

Mercês et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Burnout Syndrome and Metabolic Syndrome (n=1,125). Burnout Syndrome was evaluated on Metabolic Syndrome (OR 3.23 (men), OR 1.48 (women)). Burnout syndrome was associated with an increased likelihood of metabolic syndrome among Primary Health Care Nursing professionals, with men 3.23 times and women 1.48 times more likely to develop it.
