Introduction: In 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) included Burnout Syndrome (BS) as an occupational disease. BS is a response to chronic stress in the workplace, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of BS among oncology nursing professionals, identify factors associated with BS, and describe the epidemiological, work, and lifestyle profile of these professionals. Method: Descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach at the High Complexity Oncology Center of Bahia. The sample consisted of 110 nursing professionals. Data collection included a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), adapted to Portuguese. Data analysis was performed with SPSS, including descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis. Results: The prevalence of BS among participants was 21.8%, 45.5% presented moderate emotional exhaustion, 67.3%, high depersonalization and 51.8%, reduced personal accomplishment. Variables associated with BS included alcohol consumption, unhealthy diet, dissatisfaction with the job, poor working conditions and lack of physical activity. Conclusion: BS is moderate among oncology nursing professionals, with a high prevalence in the dimensions of depersonalization and low personal accomplishment. Associated factors include poor working conditions and inadequate lifestyle. Strategies to improve support for professionals and working conditions are necessary to mitigate this reality.
