This prospective study aims to identify factors associated with burnout and stress symptoms. 1,211 Brazilian workers were included at baseline and 467 at follow-up. A sociodemographic and occupational questionnaire, Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire II-Br (COPSOQ II-Br), and Work Ability Index (WAI) were used to collect data. Multivariate logistic regression was applied. Age was a protective factor for stress (OR=0. 97, 95%CI=0. 95-0. 99) and burnout (OR=0. 96, 95%CI=0. 93-0. 98); as well as family income (OR=0. 53, 95%CI=0. 31-0. 89; OR=0. 48; 95%CI=0. 27-0. 86). Change in workload was associated with stress (OR=2. 27, 95%CI=1. 35-3. 83) and burnout (OR=1. 83, 95%CI=1. 03-3. 23). Education sector was associated with burnout (OR=2. 87, 95%CI=1. 49-5. 54), as well as fear of COVID-19 contamination (OR=1. 97, 95%CI=1. 12-3. 46) and anxiety (OR 3. 89, 95%CI=1. 65-9. 22). This study highlights factors associated with burnout and stress in Brazilian workers.
