“…The personal achievement scores of those who answered "Yes, adequately" to this question were found to be significantly higher than those who said "No, not adequate" to this question. In a previous study, it was reported that the lack of personal equipment increased the levels of emotional burnout and desensitization and decreased the level of personal success in healthcare employees [24]. It can be argued that our findings are compatible with the literature data.…”

“…In the present study, emotional burnout and desensitization scores of those who had children were lower than those who did not have children, and their personal achievement scores were higher. Previous studies reported that people with children had low emotional burnout and desensitization scores and high personal achievement scores [1,6,15,23,24]. It can be argued that it is compatible with the literature data.…”

“…In the present study, emotional burnout and desensitization scores of married people were lower than those of singles. When the effects of marital status on burnout were examined, it was found that studies generally reported that there is no relationship between marital status and burnout levels [6,18,24]. However, in a study that was conducted in Turkey, it was reported that the emotional burnout of married people was significantly lower than that of single people [1].…”

BACKGROUND: The high prevalence, severe contagious nature, and associated morbidity and mortality rates of COVID-19 increased the demand for healthcare and social care services worldwide. No doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic affected frontline healthcare employees the most. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to examine the burnout levels of healthcare employees and related factors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey. METHODS: The descriptive, cross-sectional study was completed with 478 healthcare professionals. The study the sampling included all healthcare professionals who were actively working in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic and agreed to participate in the study. The study data were collected through the internet (online) between 10.05.2021 and 10.08.2021. The Healthcare Staff Information Form and Maslach Burnout Inventory were used to collect the study data. RESULTS: Emotional burnout (p < 0.001) and desensitization (p = 0.007) scores were higher in those who lived separately from people they normally lived with. Emotional burnout and desensitization scores of the nurses were significantly higher than those of doctors and other healthcare professionals (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: It was determined that healthcare professionals in Turkey experienced moderate levels of burnout in terms of emotional burnout and desensitization, and high levels of burnout in terms of personal achievement. It is recommended to improve working conditions, monitor employees in high-risk units more closely, and provide psychological support to prevent or reduce the burnout of healthcare employees during the pandemic period.

“…Therefore, it appears obvious to us that strategies directed at preventing burnout development, lack of empathy, or self-compassion are needed. Although this study is done prior to the covid-19 pandemic, its results could support the use of this strategy at a time when burnout is so widespread in health care personnel globally ( Gualano et al, 2021 ) and psychological support for this population is more necessary than ever ( Önen Sertöz et al, 2021 ).…”

IntroductionStress inherent to health care, which is characterized by work overload and shortage of specialized staff, is associated with decreased quality of life and suboptimal patient care. Mindfulness-based programs have proved to be effective in reducing stress in healthcare providers. This study aims to assess the feasibility of an 8-week mindfulness program to reduce the burnout levels of the staff of a pain clinic in a tertiary public hospital.Materials and methodsA longitudinal study with a within subject pre/post-intervention design, consisting of daily face-to-face 10-min sessions and the creation of a virtual group using a social media platform. Variables measured: burnout, mindfulness, empathy, self-compassion, and demographic characteristics.ResultsProgram feasibility (i.e., reach, adherence, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness) was evaluated in 10 participants (6 physicians, 2 nurse practitioners, 1 nursing assistant, and 1 administrative). The results revealed a high reach (i.e., participation rate of 90%), excellent adherence to the program (daily practice 95% of times), and very good acceptability of the group format and satisfaction with most treatment components. Regarding potential effectiveness, we report the results of the Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and its associated effect size (r). We observed improvements in mindfulness and all its subscales (−2.077 ≤ Z ≤ −2.703, 0.69 ≤ r ≤ 0.90, all p < 0.05) except for non-reactivity and all subcomponents of self-compassion (−2.501 ≤ Z ≤ −2.611, 0.83 ≤ r ≤ 0.87, all p < 0.05) but not on its global self-compassion score. Empathy and burnout did not change. In an exploratory manner, however, we found significant reductions in the burnout component of emotional exhaustion, but only in physicians (Z = −2.201, p = 0.028, r = 0.73).DiscussionWe believe that the 8-week mindfulness-based program described in the present investigation might be a feasible and potentially effective method that can be easily implemented to reduce burnout and promote mindfulness in specialized pain clinics.

Introdução: A pandemia de Covid-19 trouxe desafios adicionais ao trabalho na saúde, impactando negativamente na saúde mental dos profissionais da saúde com destaque para a presença da síndrome de burnout (SB). Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência da SB nos profissionais da saúde no período da pandemia de Covid-19. Metodologia: O estudo utilizou como metodologia uma revisão sistemática da literatura realizada na base de dados PubMed e na SciELO entre dezembro de 2021 e janeiro de 2022. Resultados e Discussão: Foram encontrados 89 artigos que abordavam SB e Covid-19, 87 desses com desenho transversal. As amostras variaram de 25 a 12.596 pessoas, em sua maioria era composta de equipe multiprofissional. Houve predominância de pesquisa naqueles países onde a pandemia adquiriu sua maior proporção, como na China, Itália, Espanha e Estados Unidos. A escala Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) foi aplicada em 54% das pesquisas. A prevalência de SB variou de 12% a 86,1% na maioria dos estudos, chegando ao extremo de 100% em um dos trabalhos. Dentre os fatores associados a SB, destacam-se ser mulher, jovem, com pouco tempo de experiência de trabalho, estar na linha de frente de combate a COVID-19, longas horas de trabalho, superlotação hospitalar, falta de equipamentos de proteção individual (EPI), postura hostil da chefia, dentre outros. Conclusão: A pandemia de COVID-19 favoreceu o aumento da prevalência de SB em profissionais de saúde e estratégias específicas de cuidados a saúde mental dessa população devem ser realizadas urgentemente.
