Article Synopsis
- Burnout is defined as a syndrome involving emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and decreased effectiveness, often due to long-term job stress, and has been worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly among healthcare workers in Brazil.
- A study surveying 143 hospital workers found a high prevalence of burnout at 53.85%, with the 'frenetic' subtype being the most common, where individuals overexert themselves to meet demands at the cost of personal needs.
- The study highlights the importance of tailored interventions based on burnout subtypes and notes that younger workers (under 51) experience higher burnout levels, indicating a need for preventative measures in the healthcare sector.
