A total of 132 teachers from the Faculty of Health Sciences at a private university in Lima, Peru, participated through non-probabilistic sampling. The "Psychosocial Factors in the Academic Environment Questionnaire" and the "Revised Burnout Questionnaire for Teachers" were administered.

A medium level of Burnout syndrome was also identified at 43.94%. However, in emotional exhaustion, a high level was observed at 49.24%. In conclusion, it was determined that there is a relationship between psychosocial factors and Burnout syndrome, with rho = 0.328 and a p-value = 0.000 < 0.05.
