description The aim of the study is to identify the prevalence and the sociodemographic, labor and academic factors associated with the Burnout Syndrome in last-year students in accountancy. Burnout is the result of chronic stress and is constituted by changes in the dimensions (a) Emotional Exhaustion, (b) Disbelief and (c) Professional Efficacy. It is an empiricalanalytical research with a non-probabilistic sample of 419 students from the evening period at seven private HEIs in the city of São Paulo. The MBI-SS and a questionnaire for sociodemographic, labor and academic variables were used as research instruments. The three dimensions showed significant differences among the students, grouped into five work categories. The verification in three dimensions indicated 46.3% of students with alterations in Emotional Exhaustion, 11.2% in Disbelief and 31.3% in Professional Effectiveness. We found three groups of students with alterations, related to the dimensions they are exposed to. The results obtained are described in two groups, exposed to two or more dimensions that cause Burnout, are described. Group 2 revealed changes in Emotional Exhaustion and in some other dimension, group 3 in the three dimensions. The students at one HEI revealed greater chances of exposure to Burnout in all three groups. The same occurred for the subjects of group 3 at other HEI. Some of the subjects expressed the feeling that not being skilled increases the chances of exposure to Burnout.
