BACKGROUND: COVID-19 pandemic has developed into a major public health threat. Nurses who work to combat COVID-19 are frequently under pressure. The high stresses caused by the consequences of transmission of the COVID-19 put nurses at risk of developing burnout syndrome. AIM: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of anxiety and burnout experienced by nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: This study was conducted using a cross-sectional design. An online web-based survey was used to collected data in the national sample of nurses (n = 243, response rate = 78.6%). This study used a convenience sampling technique. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory were also employed. Multiple linear regressions were used to determine characteristics associated with burnout. RESULTS: The participants' average age was 34.62 years (SD = 7.91). The mean anxiety score was 7.89 (SD = 2.94). The mean score of emotional exhaustion was 14.35 (SD = 7.72), the depersonalization means score was 8.81 (SD = 5.11), and the professional accomplishment mean score was 13.51 (SD = 7.51). Education and job experience had a substantial effect on emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, with R 2 values of 10.8% and 18.5%, respectively. When anxiety was included in the model, the R 2 for emotional exhaustion increased to 20.4% and the R 2 for depersonalization increased to 22.2%, respectively. Work experience had a little effect on professional accomplishment (R 2 = 10.3%) but had a much larger effect when the variable of anxiety was included in the model (R 2 = 18.3%). CONCLUSION: This study revealed that during the COVID-19 epidemic, nurses experienced many emotional states, including exhaustion, depersonalization, and anxiety. Efforts should be made by governments and policymakers in this regard in better preparing health-care systems, persons, and nursing to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in the future.

International Journal of Public Health Science (IJPHS), 2022
Nurses are at high risk of burnout because of the characteristic of their work that expends most of the time in delivering care to the patients. This study aimed to describe burnout among nurses working during corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) using nurses' demographic characteristics. This observational cross-sectional study involved 149 nurses from some hospitals and public health centers in Semarang using an online questionnaire from May 1 to June 15, 2020. Primary data were collected using Maslach Burnout Inventory including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. The study showed that 63.6% of nurses in the COVID-19 unit were at high levels of emotional exhaustion, 56.3% of them were at high levels of depersonalization, and 46.7% of them are at high levels of reduced personal accomplishment. Education was the only demographic factor that was significantly related to emotional exhaustion and depersonalization (p<0.05) with a weak correlation. The work environment and the reduced anxiety-related factors were not significantly correlated with the reduced personal accomplishment with a very weak correlation, while the nurses' unit was significantly correlated with depersonalization (p<0.05) with a very weak correlation. The results found that burnout develops among nurses due to the work environment-related factors such as the unit of work, coronainfected patients, personal protective equipment usage, and the specific characteristics of the workplace. Nurses' characteristics affect their ability to manage the workload even in a pandemic. Nurses need optimal supports to build their self-efficacy. The organizational efforts play an important role in strengthening nurses to prevent burnout.
