Abstract: Ethical problems were reported at different levels by physicians and nurses. The type of ethical decisions made by nurses working in Portuguese ICUs had an impact on burnout levels. This did not apply to physicians. This study highlights the need for education in the field of ethics in ICUs and the need to foster inter-disciplinary discussion so as to encourage ethical team deliberation in order to prevent burnout.

“…34 Contrary to this, a study conducted in ICU on prevalence of burnout and risk factors did not find correlation between burnout workload (that included working hours per week(Ƿ =0.330), number of night shifts per month (Ƿ=0113) and no compensation for overtime) was not correlated to burnout. 33 According to this study, the participants in the area of the study have high level of burnout 61.7% which predominantly related to high workload and intention to leave the job within the next 12 months. The findings of this study did not reveal burnout to be associated with working experience, duty shift and area of work (P>0.05).…”
