“…This study determined a positive relationship between depression, anxiety, stress levels, and burnout levels exist. Similar results are reported in various studies (25,(51)(52)(53). Comprehensive studies are needed to explain the relationship between depression, anxiety, and stress levels of employees and burnout levels in more detail and to determine other factors that may be related.…”

Introduction: Evaluation of the mental status of health workers and related factors will be beneficial in terms of reducing mental disorders such as stress, depression, and anxiety, protecting the workforce and increasing the quality of service provided. The study aimed to determine the mental status of the workers and evaluate their burnout levels. Methods: The study is a cross-sectional study conducted with 307 workers working in Eskişehir Osmangazi University Hospital. Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and Short Form of Burnout Scale (BMS) were used. Shapiro-Wilk, Chi-Square, Logistic Regression, and Spearman Correlation analyzes were used in statistics. Results: The mean age of 163 men and 144 women in the study group was 36.1±7.9 years. Anxiety, depression, and stress suspicion frequencies were 24.4%, 26.1%, and 14.7%. The mean scores of the study group were 2.5 ± 3.9, 3.1 ± 4.7, and 3.3 ± 4.8 for anxiety, depression, and stress sub-dimensions. The mean score they got from the BMS was 24.6 ± 14.8. A positive correlation was found between the scores obtained from the DASS-21 sub-dimensions and the scores obtained from the BMS. Conclusion: In terms of depression, anxiety, and stress, psychiatric treatment history and having problems with physical conditions in the working environment were determined as risk factors. A positive correlation was found between depression, anxiety, stress levels, and burnout levels.

INTRODUCTION Midwifery services are a cornerstone of maternal care, but the mental health of midwives is at risk in many work settings. The aim of this study was to assess burnout and attitudes toward midwifery among midwives in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. METHODS A cross-sectional online survey among midwives was conducted from 16 October to 10 December 2017. Burnout was assessed using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). RESULTS A total of 602 survey respondents were studied; 48.3%, 38.2%, and 23.3% of midwives reported moderate or high (CBI score ≥50) levels of personal burnout, work-related burnout, and client-related burnout, respectively. Midwives with moderate or high burnout in at least one CBI dimension worked more weekly hours, were more commonly employed, and worked more frequently in the hospital. In turn, midwives with low burnout levels worked fewer weekly hours, more commonly freelance, and more frequently community based (all p<0.001). Moderate or high burnout levels were associated with a reduced likelihood to recommend midwifery as a profession (OR=0.34; 95% CI: 0.23–0.49) and an increased likelihood to intent leaving the profession (OR=3.39; 95% CI: 2.0–5.9) in a multivariable regression adjusting for midwife characteristics and work practices. CONCLUSIONS Burnout symptoms were common among midwives. Burnout could be a health risk for midwives and a challenge to the profession by discouraging present and future midwives from practicing midwifery.

“…Job burnout of medical care professionals may not only have a negative impact on personal health, but also affect job satisfaction, resulting in low work efficiency and even medical accidents (Iacobucci, 2021). Previous studies have found that midwives in Australia and United Kingdom experienced a higher incidence of job burnout (Hunter et al, 2019; Vaičienė et al, 2021). In China, most of the studies on job burnout focused on doctors and nurses (Li et al, 2021; Ren et al, 2021; Song et al, 2021).…”

Aim The aim of this study was to explore the mediating role of perceived social support in the association between perceived stress and job burnout in midwives. Design A descriptive, cross‐sectional online survey. Methods Using the stratified cluster sampling method, 329 midwives in 20 hospitals in China were selected as the participants. They completed self‐report assessment measures of job burnout, perceived stress and perceived social support. Results 63.5% of the participants had job burnout. Perceived stress was negatively associated with social support (r = −.350, p < .01), while it was positively associated with job burnout (r = −.382, p < .01). Social support was negatively correlated with job burnout (r = −.569, p < .01). The total effect of perceived stress on job burnout was 0.474 (95% CI: 0.367 ~ 0.596, p < .01), the direct effect was 0.242 (95% CI: 0.142 ~ 0.355, p < .01), and the indirect effect was 0.232 (95% CI: 0.160 ~ 0.316, p < .01). Social support programmes for midwives should be implemented to control the impact of perceived stress on job burnout.
