CAVALCANTE, Fernanda Lúcia Nascimento Freire et al. Anxiety, depression, stress and burnout in health professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Estud. psicol. (Natal) [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.3, pp. 252-262. ISSN 1413-294X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22491/1678-4669.20210024.

The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of anxiety, depression, stress and burnout in the health staff of an Intensive Care Unit - ICU. This is a study with an exploratory, descriptive, and longitudinal design, with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 90 health professionals. The reduced version of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OBLI) scale were used. In order to apply statistical tests, the free statistical software R, version 3.6.1, was used. The institution's professionals showed higher levels of stress and exhaustion regardless of the provision of adequate training and guaranteed access to personal protective equipment. Efforts must be made to reduce the burnout on professionals. It is hoped that the results of the study will contribute to the provision of evidence to assist in the construction of intervention strategies to mitigate adverse responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in health professionals.
