Objective: To explore the association between burnout syndrome, occupational and health aspects, presenteeism, and loss of productivity in nursing workers.

Four instruments were applied Socio-demographic, occupational and health questionnaire; Maslach Burnout Inventory; Stanford Presenteeism Scale; Work Limitations Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, association tests, and logistic regression, respecting the significance level of 5%.
Results: Burnout syndrome was associated with dual employment, diagnosis of anxiety associated with depression, and smoking. Burnout syndrome was also associated with loss of productivity, both overall and in all specific domains.
