ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Healthcare professionals are exposed to continuous engagement in helping others. Burnout syndrome is defined by as a presence of increased feelings emotional exhaustion, development of negative and cynical attitude towards clients (depersonalization) and negative feeling of personal accomplishment.
OBJECTIVE:
The study is aimed at determining the magnitude of Burnout syndrome and its associated factors among healthcare professionals working at Eka Kotebe COVID 19 treatment center, Addis Ababa Ethiopia.
METHODS:
A Facility based cross sectional study was conducted and 334 healthcare workers were involved using systematic random sampling methods and burnout inventory was used to collect data. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to see the degree of association between independent variables (socio-demographic, organizational related factors, psycho-social related factors) and dependent variable (burnout syndrome)
RESULTS:
The prevalence of burnout was found to be 42.2% among health care works working at Eka Kotebe COVID 19 center. Regarding components of burnout 193(57.8%) of the participants had high emotional exhaustion, 331(99.1%) had high depersonalization and 176(52.7%) of the participants had low personal accomplishment. In the bivariable analysis, only the intention to leave one's job had a significant relationship with burnout among healthcare workers in this study, with a P-value of less than 0.05.On a multivariable analysis. Health professionals who wanted to leave their jobs experienced burnout 29 times more frequently than those who did not (AOR = 29.541,95 % CI 15.054-57.970) Conclusion & recommendation This study shows that a high proportion of health care workers suffer from burnout syndrome. Intention to leave job was significantly associated predictor of burnout in this study. In order to combat burnout among healthcare professionals, stakeholders including the management of the Eka Kotebe COVID center, FMOH, and other NGOs should collaborate and address the underlying and root causes of intention to leave job among healthcare workers.
