Sumario:There are stressors arising in the workplace that influence emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of personal fulfillment of workers; the most vulnerable populations are those who have contact with the public. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of depressive symptoms and burnout syndrome in staff of the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery. The Burnout Inventory (MBI-HS) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were applied. Secretarial staff presented the higher rate of depressive symptoms. Concerning the MBI-HS differences were found regarding the lack of personal accomplishment and feelings towards patients according to the different categories of workers.
