“…The MBI-EE and DP scores of the HCWs who had children included in our study were significantly higher. The fact that MBI-EE is less common among those who have children is a finding highlighted in previous studies (27,28). In our study, we thought that HCWs, who have children at home, who live with a family member over 65 years old and/or who have a chronic illness living in their homes, maybe a reason that increases the level of fear, anxiety and burnout of these people.…”

Objectives During the COVID19 pandemic, an increase in anxiety and burnout levels may occur unwittingly due to the increased workload and intense stress experienced by emergency healthcare workers (HCWs) dealing with potential or suspected COVID-19 and other emergency patients. In our study, it is aimed to investigate whether there is an increase of anxiety and burnout levels of the HCWs working in ES and pandemic fields fighting against the outbreak of COVID-19 in Turkey. Methods The study was carried out between April 1 to May 15, 2020, with the online questionnaire method with the participation of 920 HCWs that are working actively in pandemic areas across the country. In the questionnaire, the sociodemographic characteristics of the participants were questioned, and Beck anxiety scale (BAI) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) were applied. Results The pandemic area and the intensive care workers' BAI score are similar to those in the emergency service and ambulance (p = 0.05). The MBI-desensitization score of those working in the field of ED, ICUs and pandemics was higher than other places (p <0.05). The MBI-emotional score of the emergency and ambulance workers was higher (p = 0.001), and the MBI-personal accomplishment score was lower than radiology, laboratory and office personnel (p=0.049). Conclusions The COVID-19 outbreak may create stress in HCWs, leading to various psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, depression, and burnout syndrome. Early recognition, prevention and coping methods of burnout and anxiety in HCWs play a key role in during the pandemic period.

“…Laschinger, Borgogni, Consiglio, and Read () found that when nurses experience the syndrome of burnout, it can significantly influence their physical, psychological and mental health in negative terms. Additionally, when nurses are exposed to a high rate of burnout, it can lead to several negative outcomes for healthcare organisations (Adriaenssens, De Gucht, & Maes, ), such as reduced quality of nursing care (Liu & Aungsuroch, ), an increased expressed intention to leave (Chang et al, ), absenteeism (Suñer‐Soler et al, ) and alarmingly compromised patient safety (Baier, Roth, Felgner, & Henschke, ). Maslach () stated that burnout is an event that results from cumulative effects in stressful workplaces.…”

Aims To establish a model and identify structural relationships between Chinese nurses' perceived social support, self‐efficacy, work stress and burnout. Background The prevalence of burnout among nurses tends to be high worldwide. A better understanding of relationships between the study variables can help hospital managers apply effective programmes to reduce burnout. However, no studies have identified the structural relationships between these variables in one model, simultaneously. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional survey to complete questionnaires from 444 nurses working in three Chinese general tertiary hospitals. The proposed model was examined by structural equation modelling. Results The proposed model was partially supported by empirical data. The total effect of work stress on burnout was large. Both work stress and the perceived social support moderately and directly affected burnout. Work stress also indirectly affected burnout through perceived social support. Work stress directly influenced perceived social support and self‐efficacy. Perceived social support directly affected self‐efficacy. However, self‐efficacy did not directly influence burnout. Conclusions This study validated a model and identified a deep understanding of structural relationships between the selected variables among Chinese nurses. Implications for Nursing Management Apart from reducing work stressors, hospital managers should utilize more social support strategies when designing intervention programmes to reduce burnout.

“…EMTs who are experiencing burnout had almost 4 times the odds of planning to quit within one year relative to those who are not experiencing burnout. This association is present throughout burnout literature thereby linking burnout and employee turnover [18,26,48,51,52]. With its strong association, interventions to decrease EMT burnout and improve EMT wellness may be a modifiable risk factor to decrease employee turnover and address workforce shortages.…”

Introduction Professional wellness is critical to developing and maintaining a health care workforce. Previous work has identified burnout as a significant challenge to professional wellness facing emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in many countries worldwide. Our study fills a critical gap by assessing the prevalence of burnout among emergency medical technicians (EMTs) in India. Methods This was a cross-sectional survey of EMTs within the largest prehospital care organization in India. We used the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) to measure wellness. All EMTs presenting for continuing medical education between July-November 2017 from the states of Gujarat, Karnataka, and Telangana were eligible. Trained, independent staff administered anonymous MBI-Medical Personnel Surveys in local languages. Results Of the 327 EMTs eligible, 314 (96%) consented to participate, and 296 (94%) surveys were scorable. The prevalence of burnout was 28.7%. Compared to EMTs in other countries, Indian EMTs had higher levels of personal accomplishment but also higher levels of emotional exhaustion and moderate levels of depersonalization. In multivariate regression, determinants of burnout included younger age, perceived lack of respect from colleagues and administrators, and a sense of physical risk. EMTs who experienced burnout were four times as likely to plan to quit their jobs within one year.
