The prevalence of stress and burnout has become a common problem in the caring professions. Pastors, ministers and their families are not an exception. Available evidence from personal reflections and scientific research demonstrates that pastoral work is today an occupation with high rates of burnout. However, little attention has been paid to this topic. This study seeks to contribute to knowledge regarding the development of preconditions of the syndrome, and individual resources that help to prevent and control it among Adventist pastors in the city of São Paulo. The text begins with an analysis of burnout, based on selected references that include general information regarding symptoms, sources and measurement instruments; interventions and preventative methods. Burnout research demonstrates that religious ministers are generally treated like other caring professionals, with little consideration to the spiritual dimension that is crucial to the lives of clergymen. For this study, pastoral burnout is related specifically to a deficient relationship with God, environment and work conditions, as well as personal characteristics. Finally, the study suggests strategies to help decreasing and preventing the syndrome among the pastors who are the focus of this study.(AU)
