Job burnout should be considered during such health crises. The study design is a cross-sectional study. A total of 87 health care providers (nurses and physicians) were included in the study. Their general information such as age, gender, years of experience, and hours working in COVID-19 was asked. They all filled Maslach burnout inventory, a questionnaire measuring job burnout with three dimensions: Emotional exhaustion (EE), Depersonalization (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA). We found that in physicians, EE (r:0.54, P<0.001) and DP were correlated with hours working in the COVID-19 ward, but no such correlation was found in nurses. Physicians had a higher DP score (mean 12.66 vs. 8.28, P<0.001) and lower PA score (mean 22.71 vs. 25.62, P:0.004) both of them represent higher burnout levels in physicians. Comparing our results with previous studies show that during the COVID-19 breakout higher level of job burnout could be found in health care workers, especially in physicians. Hours working in COVID-19 special wards can increase the level of burnout. https://acta.tums.ac.ir/index.php/acta/article/view/8810Maslach burnout inventoryHealth care providersNurses and physiciansCoronavirus disease (COVID-19) |
