Objective: To measure the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome among nurses working in the Solid Organ Transplantation Program. Method: Exploratory, descriptive, and cross-sectional study conducted in 2024 at a solid organ transplant center located in São Paulo, Brazil. Data collection was carried out using a sociodemographic questionnaire and the *Maslach Burnout Inventory – Human Services Survey* (MBI-HSS), applied to assess burnout levels. Results: The sample consisted of 16 nurses, mostly women (93.7%), with a mean age of 38.9 years. Among them, 62.5% worked in the outpatient clinic and 37.5% held management positions. The mean scores of the MBI-HSS indicated moderate emotional exhaustion (18.75 ± 8.9), low to moderate depersonalization (5.00 ± 2.4), and high personal accomplishment (38.81 ± 11.3). Conclusion: Signs suggestive of Burnout Syndrome were identified among nurses in the Solid Organ Transplantation Program, particularly those in management roles, who showed greater emotional vulnerability. These findings highlight the need for institutional strategies for prevention and mental health support.
