Occupational violence may favor the development of burnout syndrome. The
objective of this study was to identify which characteristics are associated
with burnout syndrome in teachers exposed to occupational violence and discuss
measures aimed at reducing this type of violence. A narrative review with a
theoretical-reflective approach was conducted on SciELO library and on PubMed,
Web of Science, and Scopus databases. The violence experienced by teachers
causes health-related problems and illnesses, especially in mental health,
favoring the development of burnout syndrome. Occupational violence has affected
teachers and influenced the onset of burnout syndrome. Thus, plans and actions
involving teachers, students and their parents/legal guardians, employees, and
especially managers are essential to promote safe and healthy work
environments.
