摘要：The present study aims to correlate the dimensions of Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) with Depression Scale (EDEP) in a sample of nursing professionals. The sample included 206 participants comprising 48 nurses, 32 technicians, and 126 nursing assistants who work in two different hospitals in São Paulo. Females (81.6%) constituted a majority of the sample. MBI and EDEP instruments were used along with a socio-demographic questionnaire (SDQ) for the sample characterization. The study results pointed out significant correlations between EDEP and the emotional exhaustion dimension of the MBI (r = 0.52, p < 0.01), as well as between EDEP and all the dimensions of MBI (r = 0.56, p < 0.01). Significant correlations between dimensions of the surveyed scales indicate measures of the same constructs. However, to estimate the prevalence over time, further studies are needed with other professional groups of larger sample size and in places with higher demand for healthcare professionals.
