The object of this research was the Burnout Syndrome (SB), a psychopathology triggered from a psychosocial phenomenon that is associated with stressors in the work environment. This research aimed to discuss the Burnout syndrome in medical professionals and nurses during the COVID-19 Pandemic. This is a systematic literature review with a qualitative approach, carried out by articles published in the Capes and Scielo databases, published between 2017 and 2021. The survey results show that during the pandemic period, there was a great lack of materials and equipment in the hospital context, providing the psychological illness of health professionals who are in the front line in the fight against COVID-19, with an extensive demand due to the increase in patients, causing the worsening of the emotional condition of these professionals, which caused emotional exhaustion, triggering Burnout Syndrome. It was observed that there is a propensity of health professionals to be removed from the work they developed in the hospital context due to the involvement of BS.
