At the group analysis, emotional fatigue predominated in pre-degree physicians, with 37%, followed by pediatricians with 11%. Comparing the percentage of emotional in the three dates of information collection (February and October 2009 and April 2010), reported percentage of emotional increased in 17, 48 and 73%, respectively.
