Data resources included Scientific Information Database (SID), Magiran, Islamic World Science Citation Center (ISC), Irandoc, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.

Results: Initially, 178 articles were extracted, and then 13 articles were finally analyzed. Overall,2034 pre-hospital emergency personnel were examined. Mean of occupational burnout in term of frequency, respectively for emotional exhaustion (16.78, 95% CI = 8.89-24.67, I = 62.30%, = 0.004), depersonalization (11.57, 95% CI = 6.97-16.18, I = 68.50%, = 0.001) and the lack of personal accomplishment (16.11, 95% CI = 8.60 -23.62, I = 74.70%, = 0 <001) were determined. Also, in term of intensity, respectively for emotional exhaustion (17.90, 95% CI = 8.24-27.57, I = 64.80, = 0.004), depersonalization (11.20, 95% CI = 6.80-16.22, I = 49.60%, = 0.044) and the lack of personal accomplishment (23.45, 95% CI = 13.41 -33.49, I = 84.80%, = 0 <001) were determined.

Conclusions: According to findings, depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment had moderate and high-level, respectively. Therefore, it is necessary health policymakers pay special attention to identifying and resolving the causes of occupational burnout in this population.
