This study aimed to assess the burnout among faculty members of King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS), Jeddah, during the COVID-19 pandemic and investigate their adaptations to online teaching. Patients and Methods: The study utilized a survey research design, and a validated questionnaire was e-mailed to faculty members. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educators Survey was used to assess burnout in three domains (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment), in addition to their adaptations to online teaching. Results: A total of 112 faculty members completed the survey with a response rate of 25%. Females comprised 50.9% of the sample. Burnout assessment among faculty showed moderate emotional exhaustion and personal accomplishment. In contrast, the level of depersonalization was low. When assessing the impact of the shift to online education during the pandemic, 87.5% of the respondents reported increased confidence in online teaching and learning effectiveness. Conclusion: Faculty members at KSAU-HS reported moderate emotional exhaustion. Fortunately, this had a moderate impact on students' intellectual development and well-being.

It was found that 50% of teachers presented mild to moderate anxiety. Conclusions: the largest number of teachers surveyed present anxiety due to burnout syndrome in the COVID-19 context.

Background: burnout syndrome is a serious and growing problem among medical staff. Its adverse outcomes not only affect health-care providers’ health, but also extend to their patients, resulting in bad-quality care. The COVID-19 pandemic puts frontline health-care providers at greater risk of psychological stress and burnout syndrome. Objectives: this study aimed to identify the levels of burnout among health-care professionals currently working at Assiut University hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: the current study adopted an online cross-sectional design using the SurveyMonkey® website for data collection. A total of 201 physicians were included and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scale was used to assess the three burnout syndrome dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Results: about one-third, two-thirds, and one-quarter of the respondents had high emotional exhaustion, high depersonalization, and low person...

Paediatrics & child health, 2011
Burnout experienced by physicians is concerning because it may affect quality of care. To determine the frequency of burnout among physicians at an academic health science centre and to test the hypothesis that work hours are related to burnout. All 300 staff physicians, contacted through their personal e-mail, were provided an encrypted link to an anonymous questionnaire. The primary outcome measure, the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, has three subscales: personal, work related and patient related. The response rate for the questionnaire was 70%. Quantitative demands, insecurity at work and job satisfaction affected all three components of burnout. Of 210 staff physicians, 22% (n=46) had scores indicating personal burnout, 14% (n=30) had scores indicating work-related burnout and 8% (n=16) had scores indicating patient-related burnout. The correlation between total hours worked and total burnout was only 0.10 (P=0.14) Up to 22% of academic paediatric physicians had scores consistent...

Journal of Human Resources Training, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has led university professors to use new work modalities as demands exceed the response capacity, putting their occupational health at risk. This work provides the preliminary results of an ongoing investigation whose purpose is to determine the presence of Burnout that may be experienced by university professors in the State of Tabasco, Mexico, as a consequence of the adaptations they have made to continue working during the health contingency caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. In relation to the methodology, it is a descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative research, which uses the survey as a data collection technique through an online form. The main contribution of this work is to provide indicators on occupational health that facilitate decision-making by educational authorities regarding the management of teaching staff working in Higher Education Institutions.
Comparison of the burnout among medical residents before and during the pandemic

This study aims to compare the level of burnout syndrome in medical residents before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify potential risk factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on medical residents from three different university hospitals in Turkey in March 2021, one year after the pandemic hit Turkey. Burnout is measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory which assesses three dimensions of it: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. Collected data were combined and compared with data from a previous study which was held in the same hospitals in December 2019, three months before the pandemic. Results: 412 medical residents from three universities participated. The mean age was 27.8 ± 2.4 and half of them were female. Compared to pre-pandemic levels, no significant differences in emotional exhaustion (pre:19.0 ± 7.6 post:18.8 ± 7.8), depersonalization (pre:7.3 ± 4.3 post:7.2 ± 4.4), and personal accomplishment (pre:20.8 ± 5.1 post:21.1 ± 5) scores were observed one year after pandemic. Adjusting for confounders, multiple linear regression models indicated that who are female, are in surgical specialty, have vulnerable cohabitant, and have more night shifts faces higher emotional exhaustion. Depersonalisation is higher among who spent more years in residency, have more night shifts, or COVID-19 outpatient duty. Females and those who have vulnerable cohabitant has lower levels of Personal Achievement. Conclusion: This study does not support the hypothesis that pandemic increases the burnout levels. Yet it identifies a couple of pandemic related factors that are associated with burnout and confirming the association of several previously known factors.
