Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and associated factors of burnout among health professionals working in intensive care units. Methods: , a multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted. Binary and multivariate logistic regressions were used to assess the relationship between burnout syndrome as dependent and various personal job factors as independent factors. Results: The overall prevalence of BOS among HCPs working in the selected university hospitals of southern Ethiopia is 38.1%. Health professionals who worked at night duty were 4.15 times more likely to be in a state of burnout as compared to those who were on day duty shift [AOR = 4.15, 95%CI (1.27-13.58)]. Conclusion: Burnout is a great public health concern. Age, marital status, workload, working the night shift, fear of patient death, less quipped setup, and absence of extra-time duty payment were among the predictive variables.
