Burnout Syndrome is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal fulfillment, which usually occurs in environments of continuous work stress, gradually affecting workers whose work requires emotional involvement with people. The quality of professional life is the quality one feels in relation to their work. This work, cross sectional analysis, aimed to determine the frequency of Burnout Syndrome and deficiencies in the quality of working life of the nursing staff of the Internal Medicine hospitalization services of the Roosevelt Hospital. Likewise, it was determined what relation the subscales of the Maslach inventory of Burnout Syndrome and the subscales of quality of professional life of the ProQOL instrument presented. Fifty five nursing workers from the Internal Medicine departments of Roosevelt Hospital were included during 2016. A frequency of Burnout Syndrome of 3.6%, high emotional exhaustion of 20%, depersonalization of 24.5% and low job satisfaction of 30% was observed. No case of poor quality of working life was found. There was a significant association between job satisfaction and personal fulfillment (Tau = .36; p = .014), burnout with personal fulfillment (Tau = -.31; p = .040) and traumatic stress with depersonalization (Tau = .36; p = .014). It was concluded that some domains of the quality of work life scale have some weak to moderate relationship with the domains of the Burnout scale.
