This study aims to relate the sociodemographic and work-related variables that characterize social work professionals with the presence or absence of burnout. A single-group ex post facto prospective descriptive design questionnaire was created incorporating sociodemographic data and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The study involved 442 members of professional social workers’ associations in Spain. The results indicated a burnout prevalence of 11.4% among the participants and a strong tendency to suffer from it. Significant differences were also found in the sociodemographic and work-related variables collected
