“…In addition, older physicians have lower levels of burnout [26]. Some studies have shown opposite results to the results in this study; older physicians scored a higher level of emotional exhaustion [24]. The results of this study showed that there can be some logical reasons why more experienced healthcare providers have less emotional exhaustion and depersonalization levels which is the ability to cope with stress and time management.…”

“…On the other hand, other studies have shown that single healthcare providers score higher burnout levels than married workers [20]. In addition, studies suggest that being unmarried has a lower level of personal accomplishment and a higher level of depersonalization [24]. Evidence supports that marital status is a significant factor for burnout, and the reason behind having a high level of emotional exhaustion (EE) in married and divorced workers is the work-home stress.…”

Background: Burnout is defined as a long-term work stress. The prevalence of burnout syndrome among nurses is 42% of nurses in England. Many countries have conducted studies to measure the level of burnout among health care providers. There is a lack of research on burnout among healthcare providers in the Arabic countries. Aims: This study aimed to assess the burnout level among healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates and to predict the burnout factors of healthcare providers working in tertiary private hospitals. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was used to evaluate the burnout among healthcare providers. A total of 900 healthcare providers working in the clinical areas of six private hospitals in the Arabia Gulf Region were recruited for the study. A total of 892 healthcare providers were included in the study. A total of eight surveys were excluded due to major missing data. Results: A total of 892 healthcare providers were included in the study. The average age was 32 years ± 7 years for male and female healthcare providers. A high burnout level was found in the results. The participating female healthcare providers had a higher level of emotional exhaustion as compared with their male counterparts. Nurses had more emotional exhaustion as compared with physicians, respiratory therapists, and other colleagues. Conclusions: High burnout levels among healthcare providers can reflect negatively on the healthcare providers well-being, job satisfaction, and mental health. Burnout has been linked with medical errors and physician–patient relationships. We believe that it is important to deal with this issue of public health in Saudi Arabia and UAE. This study aimed to explore burnout levels among healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia and UAE. Results showed a high level of burnout among the healthcare.

Background:Dealing with emergency patients is considered to be a stressful situation to all health-care workers in the emergency department (ED). Prolonged stress predispose to physical and inconsequential psychiatric disturbances. Anxiety and depressive mode were found to be the most commonly experienced psychiatric manifestation among emergency health-care workers. The aim of this study is to screen and assess the severity of anxiety among health professionals working in ED.Methods: Cross-sectional study design was used. Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)-7 screening tool was used to assess for anxiety symptoms. GAD-7 is a validated self-report tool that comprises seven questions where each question is rated on a 3-point scale. Demographic data were collected from the study sample. The study sample consists of emergency physician, nurses, and other emergency medical services workers. Data analysis was performed using SAS version 9.2 software. Descriptive statistics, nonparametric comparison, and correlation were performed as part of data analysis.Results:A total of 135 participants completed the questionnaire, of which, 66% of the participants were males. Occupational status of the respondents indicated that majority (35.6%) were physicians followed by 27.4% of emergency medical, and 27% of nurses. The results of this study indicated that 48% of the subjects were observed without an anxiety disorder. However, moderate to mild degrees of anxiety disorder was identified among 20.7% and 23.7% of the subjects, respectively. Severe anxiety disorder was found among 7.6% of the respondents. Emergency medical services workers were reported to have the highest GAD-7 score followed by physicians and nurses P = 0.039. Gender and older age group among health professionals were statistically significant correlated with higher GAD-7 score P = 0.028 and 0.048, respectively. There is no significant difference in GAD-7 score among health professional dealing with adult versus pediatrics patient.Conclusion: From this study, it was concluded that more than 52% of the health-care team members manifested with moderate to severe anxiety disorder that requires counseling and referral for support and treatment. Prolonged and unrecognized anxiety may predispose to major psychiatric morbidity, exhaustion, and resignations from the duties. Hospital administration needs to be aware of the level of anxiety and the most likely affected population to build preventive strategies.

“…Future researches is encouraged to test the effect of individual characteristics (e.g., age, family situation, years of work experience, personality, and technology acceptance/aversion) and occupational characteristics. For instance, previous research reported a significant effect of occupational characteristics [22], psychological characteristics (e.g., personality [23]), and demographic characteristics [21,61] on burnout dimensions (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and professional efficacy).…”
