The study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of burnout in healthcare workers treating COVID-19 patients and identify contributing factors, including age, gender, and workplace conditions.
A survey of 1412 hospital staff revealed burnout levels ranging from 10% to 22%, with nurses and physicians showing the highest emotional exhaustion and depersonalization.
Findings suggested that improved training and adherence to safety protocols, along with better access to personal protective equipment, can reduce burnout and enhance job satisfaction among healthcare workers.
