“…Similar findings were obtained from a study in Pakistan. 26 On the other hand, a Korean study was done among clinical faculty members of the School of Medicine, and the results of the Korean study showed lower burnout values which opposed the results of our study. This was attributed to higher scores of professional self-concept which means a perception of oneself as a member of the profession.…”

This study aimed to assess the burnout among faculty members of King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS), Jeddah, during the COVID-19 pandemic and investigate their adaptations to online teaching. Patients and Methods:The study utilized a survey research design, and a validated questionnaire was e-mailed to faculty members. The Maslach Burnout Inventory -Educators Survey was used to assess burnout in three domains (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment), in addition to their adaptations to online teaching. Results: A total of 112 faculty members completed the survey with a response rate of 25%. Females comprised 50.9% of the sample. Burnout assessment among faculty showed moderate emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment. In contrast, the level of depersonalization was low. When assessing the impact of the shift to online education during the pandemic, 87.5% of the respondents reported increased confidence in online teaching and learning effectiveness. Conclusion: Faculty members at KSAU-HS reported moderate emotional exhaustion. Fortunately, this had a moderate impact on students' intellectual development and well-being. Most of the faculty feedback supported online teaching during the pandemic.

“…In this study, cited as the first comparison of burnout scores before and after the pandemic in a national pediatric subgroup, nearly 40 percent of respondents felt that their contribution to the COVID-19 pandemic was underestimated by their institutions ( 7 ). In a study, Akram et al ( 25 ) reported very high levels of burnout among Pakistani clinical faculty members from July 2018 to February 2019. In a study to examine the burnout of physicians working at a hospital in São Paulo, Brazil, in the COVID-19 pandemic, Fumis et al reported it as high ( 26 ).…”

IntroductionShift work of clinical faculty members in the COVID-19 pandemic may cause burnout and occupational fatigue and as a result, may reduce the quality of student education and disrupt the treatment of patients, so this study was conducted to evaluate this case.Materials and methodsThe statistical population of this cross-sectional research included all clinical faculty members of Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences in southwestern Iran, who experienced a shift work system (night shift from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.) during the COVID-19 pandemic, and finally, 71 of them participated in it. The sampling method was also available. Two inventories were used to collect data, namely the Maslach Burnout Inventory [MBI-HSS (MP)] and the Swedish Occupational Fatigue Inventory (SOFI-20).ResultsThe self-reported burnout of faculty members was high (mean ± SD = 98.18 ± 17.18), which was graded into the range of emotional exhaustion (38.01 ± 10.2), range of personal accomplishment, (33.75 ± 6.75), and the range of depersonalization (26.42 ± 3.5), respectively. Perceived occupational fatigue of faculty members was also high (M ± SD = 82.25 ± 34.79), which included the dimensions of lack of motivation (18.69 ± 8.65), drowsiness (17.43 ± 8.7), lack of energy (16.33 ± 7.67), physical discomfort (15.65 ± 8.62), and physical stress (13.51 ± 6.9), respectively. In terms of demographic characteristics, occupational fatigue was significantly more common among women.Discussion and conclusionThe self-reported burnout and occupational fatigue of clinical faculty members due to shift work were reported to be high in this study. Although our knowledge of burnout has advanced in recent years, many gaps in our knowledge still remain. In order for clinical faculty members to properly fulfill their mission to treat patients, educate students, and promote public health, it is necessary to provide all the necessary conditions for their effective activity. Some interventions, such as improving organizational strategies and providing technical solutions, incentives, and occupational facilities, can help reduce or eliminate these problems.

“…Burnout is the condition where a worker's ability to perform is reduced and is associated with stress and lack of self-satisfaction leading to a negative impact on the physical and mental health of that individual. 1 Job performance is negatively affected by the level of burnout of the employee. 2 Burnout has been associated with many physical, psychological and occupational consequences, indicating that necessary measures should be taken to avoid the negative impact of burnout.…”

Methodology: Oldenburg Inventory was used to assess burnout among the faculty of basic medical sciences after taking the authors' permission. SPSS version 23:00 was used to analyze data, and those who had shown a higher level of burnout were interviewed. Recorded interviews were later own transcribed, and thematic analysis was done. Results: The mean exhaustion score for the whole basic sciences faculty was 2.35 ± 0.27, while for disengagement from work, it was 2.24 ± 0.24. Value was 0.62 and 0.144 for exhaustion and disengagement, respectively, showing no difference between the burnout level of faculty members in public and private sectors in both domains. Lack of acknowledgement, Lack of resources, Motivational factors and Lack of progress system were the main themes that emerged after an in-depth exploration of faculty members. Conclusion: The faculty from basic sciences are facing burnout, and the major causes are lack of acknowledgement and appreciation, decreased number of faculty, inadequate resources and ambiguity about future growth in basic sciences.
