Background: Psychological resilience facilitates adaptation in stressful environments and is an important personal characteristic that enables workers to navigate occupational challenges. Few studies have evaluated the factors associated with psychological resilience in healthcare workers. Objectives: To determine the prevalence and factors associated with psychological resilience in a group of South African medical doctors and ambulance personnel. Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study used secondary data obtained from studies conducted with healthcare workers. Factors associated with resilience, as measured by the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-10 (CD-RISC-10), were evaluated. Results: A total of 647 healthcare workers were included in the study. Resilience scores were low overall (27.6 ± 6.6) but higher for ambulance personnel (28.0 ±6.9) than for doctors (27.1 ± 6.0) (p=0.006). The factors associated with high resilience scores in doctors were male gender (p< 0.001), higher income (p=0.020), and current smoking (p=0.012), while for ambulance personnel, there was previous alcohol use (p=0.002). Significantly lower resilience was observed in participants with mental health conditions (doctors: p=0.037; ambulance personnel: p=0.010) who were receiving treatment for mental health conditions (ambulance personnel: p=0.029). Multivariable analysis confirmed that the protective factors for doctors were current smoking status (β= 3.52, p=0.009) and a higher salary (β= 5.11, p=0.006), while for ambulance personnel, the protective factor was previous alcohol use (β=3.22, p=0.003). Female gender (β=-1.77, p=0.032) and working overtime with doctors (β=-5.11 p=0.006) increased the likelihood of low resilience. Conclusions: Resilience was relatively low in this group of South African healthcare workers. The strong association between low resilience and individual and workplace factors provides avenues for early intervention and building resilience in healthcare workers.

Objectives This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors contributing to burnout among public sector pharmacy staff in Sarawak, Malaysia, two years into the COVID-19 pandemic. Impact of burnout on their lives and their coping strategies were also examined. Methods A cross-sectional online survey was carried out among all pharmacy staff in public healthcare facilities throughout Sarawak. Burnout was measured using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Multiple logistic regression analysed demographic and work characteristics associated with burnout. Open-ended replies on burnout causes, impact, coping strategies and employer’s role were coded and thematically analysed. Key findings A total of 329 responses were received. The prevalence of personal, work and patient-related burnout was 54.7, 47.1 and 35.3%, respectively. Respondents facing problems with child support were 8.26 and 3.62 times more likely to suffer from personal and work-related burnout. Working in areas with potential exposure to COVID-19 patients increased the odds of patient and work-related burnout by 2.80 and 1.86 times, respectively. Burnout symptoms affected their quality of life; nevertheless, self-reported coping strategies were mostly positive. Respondents emphasised the need for organisational interventions, including increased resource allocation, better workload distribution and promotion of work–life balance, to mitigate burnout. Conclusions A significant percentage of public sector pharmacy staff continue to experience burnout two years into the pandemic. Regular well-being assessments and supportive policies are recommended to help them cope with increased stress. Additional training for supervisors may be necessary to effectively manage staff and workload during a pandemic.
