Abstract
in English, Portuguese

The objective of this study was to map evidence in the scientific literature regarding the implementation and impact of strategies for prevention and management of stress and/or burnout among healthcare professionals in Brazil. This is a Scoping Review carried out using search terms and Boolean operators to search the databases Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (via Virtual Health Library), Scientific Electronic Library Online, and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (via PubMed). The publication period was from 2010 until the dates on which searches were run. A manual search and searches of the reference lists of selected publications were also conducted. Initially, 317 studies were identified and 14 studies were included in the final sample. The studies highlight the implementation of strategies for prevention and management of stress and/or burnout among healthcare professionals in Brazil together with their results. There was evidence of use of integrative and complementary practices, with emphasis on auriculotherapy, as well as stress reduction programs, and care-educational strategies. This review brings together possibilities for prevention and management of stress and burnout, presenting strategies and their results in the target population.
