Methods. Descriptive cross study. Two questionnaires were used: (1) socio-organizational and (2) Maslach Scale. The independence test and Chi-square tests were applied for statistical analysis. For the validation we applied the factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha reliability, validity and standardization of the resulting constructs.
Results. Hospital pharmacists (n=174); Sex: female (n=137, 78.73%); Age ≤ 25 years (n=26; 14,90%), 26 to 30 years (n=45; 25,86%), 31 to 35 years (n = 44; 25,28%), 36 to 40 years (n=21; 12,06%), 41 to 50 years (n=24; 13,79%) and 50 years (n=14; 8,04%); Marital status: single (n=82; 47.12%), married (n=73; 41.95%), stable union (n=11; 6.32%), separated (n=1; 0.57%), divorced (n=7; 4.02%); Children: 01 children (n=32; 18.39%), 02 children (n=28; 16.09%), 03 children (n=4; 2.29%), without children (n=110; 63.21%) Education: graduate (n=28; 16.09%), specialization (n=116; 66.67%), Master (n=27; 15.52%), Ph.D. (n=3; 1.72%).Weekly Hours: ≤ 20 hours (n=2; 1.15%), 21 to 49 hours (n=134; 77.01%) to ≥ 50 hours (n=37; 21.38%). Institutions: public (n=95; 54.59%), private (n=67; 38.50%) and foundation (n=12; 6.89%). Size: large, 151 to 500 beds (n=120; 69.00%).Complexity: tertiary (n=95; 54.60%) and secondary (n=67; 38.50%) and primary (n=12; 6.89%). Position: direction (n=19; 11.00%), supervision (n=85; 49.00%) and operation (n=69; 40.00%). Contract: Military (n=1; 0.56%), temporary (n=36; 21.00%), service provider (n=40; 23%), government employee (n=96; 55.44%). Satisfied with job type (n=108; 62.00%) and dissatisfied with salary (n=154; 89%). The factorial analysis identified to emotion exhaustion 27,81 (±9,29), professional accomplishment 23,06 (±5,8) and depersonalization 44,01 (±10,46); ages, number of children, dissatisfied with salary and weekly hours were considered risk factors.
