Burnout levels of the intensive care unit team during extended COVID-19 outbreak and affecting factors
Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to determine how intensive care workers are affected by the pandemic period and the factors affecting burnout. Material and Method: 45 assistants, 76 nurses and 40 specialists working in a tertiary intensive care unit (ICU) with 70 COVID-beds participated in the study. Responses we recollected through a website (www.surveymonkey.com). Results: The mean age of the respondents was 34.4±8.6 years, and the mean years of experience were 9.4±8.2. The general Emotional Exhaustion (EE), Depersonalization (DP), Reduced Personal Achievement (RPA) scores of the ICUs team were calculated as 20.7, 8.4 and 20.1 and the general arithmetic mean of the burnout scores was 49.1. It was found that the assistant doctors group had a statistically significantly higher risk in the EE and DP scales. (p=0,016 p<0,001). Considering the satisfaction correlation of the scales, The rate of dissatisfaction was found statistically significantly higher in the intensive care nurses group than assistant doctors and specialist doctors groups (p<0,001). Considering the factors affecting burnout, it was found that there was a statistically significant negative correlation between burnout and "Being appreciated at work during the pandemic period and "Adequacy of physical conditions", "Being married", "Having children", "Easily reach to the supervisor". Conclusion: It is of importance to reveal the causes of burnout during the pandemic, and to make arrangements in working conditions in a way that will increase job satisfaction and reduce burnout.
