The burn-out syndrome is more and more frequent. It is linked to chronic stress and depression. Agriculture

is one of the most stressful functions by consequence, it causes burnout, for this reason, our goal is to assess

burnout among farmers in the Khénifra region. The work we did is focused on 58 male farmers in the

province of Khénifra, central Morocco. In our study, we used and the Arabian version of the Maslach Burnout

Inventory, which includes three scales: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal

accomplishment. The results of the Maslach Burn Out Inventory show that 51.7% of our population have

a high level of emotional exhaustion, 32.8% have a pathological level of depersonalization and 5.2% have

suffered personal accomplishment. As a result, the prevalence of burnout is 18.96%. The study showed that

familiar heritage and lack of leisure are two risk factors for the onset of this behavior. Thus the consequences

accompanying this one are generally family repercussions and / or health problems like sleep.

In this situation the authorities are called upon to increase efforts to support this category of moroccan

society
