The burnout syndrome in healthcare jobs is a serious problem that has grown into an epidemic among healthcare workers and associates. The aim of this research is to assess the presence of stress and burnout syndrome at work with healthcare workers, expert workers, professional associates, and associates in social service institutions in Belgrade. Materials and Methods: This research was conducted in the form of a cross-sectional study of a representative sample in social institutions in Belgrade. It was conducted from March to the end of June of 2023. The sample of the study had 491 participants. The questionnaires used were a structured instrument with social\u2013demographic and social\u2013economic characteristics, workplace characteristics, lifestyle characteristics, and the following questionnaires: DASS-21, Copenhagen, Brief Resilience Scale, and Brief Resilient Coping Scale. Results: The end results indicate the following to be significant risk factors for the occurrence of workplace burnout syndrome: overtime (OR = 2.62; CI = 1.50\u20134.56), BRS average score (OR = 0.28; CI = 0.17\u20130.44), DASS21 D heightened depression (OR = 2.09; CI = 1.1\u20134.04), DASS21 A heightened anxiety (OR = 2.38; CI = 1.34\u20134.21), and DASS21 S heightened stress (OR = 2.08; CI = 1.11\u20133.89). The only protective risk factor that stood out was the self-assessment of health levels (OR = 0.60; CI = 0.42\u20130.85). Conclusion: Overtime is a significant factor associated with workplace burnout. Apart from it, other significant factors associated with workplace burnout were heightened depression, anxiety, and stress levels.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina60030499","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,19]],"date-time":"2024-03-19T04:36:31Z","timestamp":1710822991000},"page":"499","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Exposure
