“…The majority (22/30) reported burnout using M one of its adapted or modified versions such as Abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inve All included studies were cross-sectional studies assessing burnout at a single time point. The geographic distribution of studies was as follows, twelve studies (40%) were from the American continents (USA, Canada, Brazil, and Ibero-American) [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40], seven studies (23.3%) were from Asian countries (Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan) [41][42][43][44][45][46][47], while other seven (23.3%) reported results from Europe (France, Portugal, Spain, Romania, Netherlands, and European Union countries) [48][49][50][51][52][53][54] as well as four (13.3%) were from the African continent (Egypt and Libya) [55][56][57][58]. The age range of physicians spanned from the early 20s to 70+ years, all studies included male and female participants.…”

The burnout rate among physicians is expected to be higher during COVID-19 period due to the additional sources of physical and emotional stressors. Throughout the current COVID-19 pandemic, numerous studies have evaluated the impacts of COVID-19 on physicians’ burnout, but the reported results have been inconsistent. This current systematic review and meta-analysis aims to assess and estimate the epidemiology of burnout and the associated risk factors during the COVID-19 pandemic among physicians. A systematic search for studies targeting physicians’ burnout was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, Cochrane COVID-19 registry, and pre-print services (PsyArXiv and medRχiv) for English language studies published within the time period of 1 January 2020 to 1 September 2021. Search strategies resulted in 446 possible eligible studies. The titles and abstracts of these studies were screened, which resulted in 34 probable studies for inclusion, while 412 studies were excluded based on the predetermined inclusion criteria. These 34 studies went through a full-text screening for eligibility, which resulted in 30 studies being included in the final reviews and subsequent analyses. Among them, the prevalence of physicians’ burnout rate ranged from 6.0–99.8%. This wide variation could be due to the heterogeneity among burnout definitions, different applied assessment tools, and even cultural factors. Further studies may consider other factors when assessing burnout (e.g., the presence of a psychiatric disorders, other work-related and cultural factors). In conclusion, a consistent diagnostic indices for the assessment of burnout is required to enable consistent methods of scoring and interpretation.

“…In total, four studies used Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) [39,40,43,49] one used the Portuguese version of CBI [49], two studies used single-item Mini-Z burnout assessment [29,37], while the other two used Professional Fulfillment Index to report similar outcomes [30,33].…”

“…Looking closer at each dimension, there appear to be important differences in emotional exhaustion scores, which is the dimension considered the most appropriate representation of burnout. 16 The average emotional exhaustion total score post-pandemic was nearly 5 points higher than pre-pandemic, placing the average post-pandemic total score above the clinical cutoff while the average pre-pandemic total score fell below the cutoff.…”

“…Some have argued that the MBI depersonalization dimension represents a strategy to cope with burnout rather than a symptom of burnout, and that the low personal accomplishment could result from other concerns unrelated to burnout. 16 Given these criticisms, emotional exhaustion has been suggested as the most relevant or accurate dimension in considering burnout. 16 In addition, the clinical cutoffs used for MBI dimensions vary considerably in the literature.…”

“… 16 Given these criticisms, emotional exhaustion has been suggested as the most relevant or accurate dimension in considering burnout. 16 In addition, the clinical cutoffs used for MBI dimensions vary considerably in the literature. 4 Additional research is needed to establish consistent cutoff scores and build the empirical support for the 3 MBI dimensions as core aspects of burnout.…”

Objective: During the surge of the COVID-19 pandemic, burnout among physicians increased significantly. In the spring of 2023, the COVID national emergency was terminated in the U.S. To investigate whether provider burnout rates have returned to pre-pandemic levels, the current study compared dimensions of burnout among pediatricians pre- and post-pandemic. Method: As part of 2 separate behavioral health trainings held at a Midwest academic health center in 2019 and virtually in 2023, data on burnout was collected from 52 pediatricians pre-pandemic and 38 pediatricians post-pandemic. Participants completed an online survey during the trainings and responded to items reflecting 3 dimensions of burnout: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in pre- and post-pandemic burnout amongst pediatricians in terms of total scores, number of pediatricians who met the clinical cutoff for each dimension, number of cutoffs met, or number of providers reporting elevated burnout on at least 1 dimension ( p > .05 for all comparisons). Participants were 1.77 times more likely to meet the cutoff for emotional exhaustion post-pandemic than pre-pandemic. Over half of providers met this cutoff post-pandemic, compared to only 35% pre-pandemic. Conclusions: While post-pandemic rates of burnout among pediatricians appear to be statistically similar to pre-pandemic levels, there appear to be clinically significant differences in emotional exhaustion between groups. With 63% of the post-pandemic group meeting the cutoff score for at least 1 dimension, it is imperative for the healthcare system to consider ways to mitigate burnout.
