síndrome de desgaste profesional; síndrome del profesional quemado; síndrome del trabajador quemado: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que las expresiones "síndrome de desgaste profesional" o, más coloquialmente, "del trabajador quemado" son alternativas en español al anglicismo "burnout". [...] De acuerdo con el Diccionario de términos médicos de la Real Academia Nacional de Medicina, "síndrome de desgaste profesional" es la traducción apropiada de esta voz inglesa [...] son también válidas las traducciones "síndrome del profesional quemado", "del trabajador quemado" […] 2, record 1, Spanish, - s%C3%ADndrome%20de%20desgaste%20profesional
