“…Family-work conflict can be effective in developing burnout [42]. Studies have shown that family-work conflict and family composition are important determinants of burnout [43]. Anxiety and depression due to the chronic disease of patients hospitalized in the medical wards is associated with higher scores for client-related burnout [27,36,37].…”

Background: Nurses, particularly critical care nurses, are exposed to high levels of stress and burnout. Burnout is associated with many deleterious consequences affecting health care outcomes. The present study is intended to determine the dimensions of burnout in nurses on surgical, medical and critical care units and its relationship with demographic characteristics. Methods: In this descriptive research study, performed at critical and non-critical care units, 743 nurses were randomly selected by quota sampling from medical sciences universities in Iran. Data collection instruments included a "demographic questionnaire" and the "Persian version of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Data were analyzed using SPSS20. Results: The findings showed that regarding all dimensions, the lowest level of burnout belonged to surgical wards whereas the highest level pertained to critical care wards indicating a significant difference among various aspects of burnout in different wards, i.e., surgery, medical, and critical care. There was no significant difference in gender, academic degree, and marital status in any of the aspects of burnout in critical care units; yet, the difference was significant between surgical and medical wards (P < 0.05). There were a negative significant correlation between some dimensions of burnout with age and nursing experience in critical care and medical wards (P < 0.05). Whereas in surgical wards, there were a positive significant correlation between some aspects of burnout with nursing experience and age (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This study found that the critical care nurses have significantly higher level of burnout compared to the medical-surgical nurses. These results should be considered when planning burnout prevention schedules for nurses.

“…In South Africa, Schweitzer used one question (‘Do you ever feel so emotionally exhausted that you feel negative about yourself and about your job and lose the feeling of concern for your patients?’) to assess burnout based on the definition in Pine and Maslach [67]. Lastly in Nigeria, two questions were used to examine emotional exhaustion (‘I feel burned out from my work’) and depersonalization (‘I have become more callous toward people since I took this job’) [65].…”

Systematic review of burnout among healthcare providers in sub-Saharan Africa

Background Burnout is characterized by physical and emotional exhaustion from long-term exposure to emotionally demanding work. Burnout affects interpersonal skills, job performance, career satisfaction, and psychological health. However, little is known about the burden of burnout among healthcare providers in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods Relevant articles were identified through a systematic review of PubMed, Web of Science (Thomson Reuters), and PsycINFO (EBSCO). Studies were selected for inclusion if they examined a quantitative measure of burnout among healthcare providers in sub-Saharan Africa. Results A total of 65 articles met our inclusion criteria for this systematic review. Previous studies have examined burnout in sub-Saharan Africa among physicians (N = 12 articles), nurses (N = 26), combined populations of healthcare providers (N = 18), midwives (N = 2), and medical or nursing students (N = 7). The majority of studies assessed burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The highest levels of burnout were reported among nurses, although all healthcare providers showed high burnout. Burnout among healthcare providers is associated with their work environments, interpersonal and professional conflicts, emotional distress, and low social support. Conclusions Available studies on this topic are limited by several methodological challenges. More rigorously designed epidemiologic studies of burnout among healthcare providers are warranted. Health infrastructure improvements will eventually be essential, though difficult to achieve, in under-resourced settings. Programs aimed at raising awareness and coping with burnout symptoms through stress management and resilience enhancement trainings are also needed.

“…So what do we know about burnout in anesthesia providers in East 36 There is one other published study of burnout in 160 anesthesia providers in Zambia, which found that burnout was present in over half of respondents, and logistic regression showed an association with respondents "not having the right team to carry out work to an appropriate standard." The risk was also particularly high among nonphysician providers who typically work in isolated rural practice.…”

They noted the relevance of a collectivist Igbo culture, and found that large families and high levels of family cohesion seemed to be negatively associated with burnout 36 .

Burnout and related concepts such as resilience, wellness, and taking care of healthcare professionals have rightly become a very hot topic. This issue has come further into the foreground during the current COVID-19 pandemic, where issues such as occupational hazards, financial instability, lack of personal protective equipment, inadequate resources to manage patients, and process inefficiencies all threaten the well-being of frontline healthcare providers. 1 The number of published papers on burnout for doctors and nurses has dramatically increased over the last decade (Figure 1) and you would now have to read more than 4 papers a day to keep up with the literature. However, when looking at that body of literature, you could perhaps be forgiven for thinking that burnout is a "first world problem." Rotenstein and colleagues 2 published a landmark systematic review including any literature before 2018 that included any cross-sectional or longitudinal studies reporting the prevalence of burnout in physicians. From the 182 studies, including over 100 000
