Article Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic is responsible for increased demand for care and patient mortality, resulting in emotional and physical stress for healthcare workers (HCWs). We aimed to estimate the prevalence of burnout and its associated factors among HCWs in Togo during the pandemic. We conducted an online cross-sectional study from June 14 to 29, 2021 targeting HCWs in Togo. The variable of interest was burnout measured by the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Of the 523 participants, the overall burnout prevalence was 53.5% (95% CI= 49.2 - 57.9). The prevalence by burnout dimension was respectively 39.4%, 38.4% and 22.1% for personal, work-related and patient-related burnout. Our results suggest that occupational health teams should engage in the prevention, screening, and management of burnout among HCWs.
