Abstract: Background: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has brought multiple challenges for health institutions
and their professionals. The requirement of this disease forced nurses to confront organizational
and clinical challenges to maintain the quality standards of care they provide. These requirements
may have contributed to increased burnout symptoms. This study aims to map the scientific evidence
related to nurses’ burnout in intensive care units. Methods: A scoping review will be conducted
according to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Relevant databases will be used as well as
grey literature, where the following words will be used: burnout, nurses, intensive care units and
SARS-CoV-2. Results: This scoping review will include all types of studies—quantitative, qualitative
and mixed—and all types of reviews that focus on the objective of this review. Conclusions: It is vital
to determine the impact of the burnout caused by the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 to assess amending
measures of risk and protection factors. This will help in the implementation of guidelines according
to the available evidence. Additionally, this will help to improve the skills of these professionals as
well as to reduce their emotional and physical exhaustion. This protocol is registered with the Open
Science Framework.
