Objective: to investigate the correlation between stress and Burnout in nurses working in a trauma emergency room in Belo Horizonte.

Results: 65.22% of nurses had high psychological demand. In the Demand-control Model, 34.78% of the nurses were in work activity and 30.43% were under high stress, causing harmful effects on health. As for Burnout, 23.91% had high emotional distress, 21.74% had high depersonalization, 28.26% had low professional fulfillment, and three nurses were in Burnout. Conclusion: there is a correlation between stress and Burnout. Nurses are exposed to a highly stressful work environment, conducive to the development of Burnout.
