Factors affecting burnout in physicians during COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

Aim: The COVID-19 outbreak continues to pose a threat to people's physical and mental health all over the world. The health professionals who are directly involved in the fight against the pandemic may experience stress during this crisis that can cause Burnout and Secondary traumatic stress. The objective of our study was to assess the burnout among physicians during COVID-19 pandemic and to determine related factors. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted. The demographical and occupational data were collected using a questionnaire and burnout level was assessed by Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Results: 748 physicians took the survey. The burnout levels stated by the physicians were found to be significantly higher than before the pandemic [median before pandemic 3 (CDA: 2-4); median 4 (2-5) during pandemic; p <0.001]. Personal Accomplishment (PA), Emotional Exhaustion (EE) and Depersonalization (D) scores of participants directly providing medical services to COVID-19 cases were significantly higher (p <0.05). While EE and D scores were highest in first step workers, PA scores were highest in third step workers. PA scores were lower in man and EE scores were higher in women (p<0.05). Negative correlation was found between the age and the EE [r: (-) 0.087; p< 0.017] and D [r: (-) 0.233; p<0.001] subscale scores. Conclusion: We concluded that women, younger, first step and frontline workers had higher risks for burnout, so individual, structural, and organizational arrangements should be made by giving priority to these risky groups.
