Stress and burnout is a common healthproblem among different workcategories today. The aim of this study was to investigate possible presence of stress and burnout among radiographers and if there was a connection to number of years in the profession. Maslach Burnout Inventory was used as an instrument to investigate the possible presence of burnout, supplemented with questions about stress. The instrument contained a total of 33 questions and was handed out to two hospitals in south of Sweden with a total of 51 respondents. The study showed that the most stressful situations arose due to workload, negative stress, bad working environment and high time pressure. The radiographers in the study had low scores overall in the measuring of burnout. Most of the respondents had low emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation, and high personal achievement. The result showed a few significant connections between stress and burnout conditions, but due to the width of the study, the result is not to be generalised.
