Introduction

Healthcare workers are at increased risk of Burnout due to the stressful demands of their job.

Objectives

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and the related factors of burnout in healthcare workers at the Sahloul University Hospital, Tunisia

Methods

Data were collected from a cross sectional study using a questionnaire exploring socio-demographic and professional data, lifestyle habits and pathological history. Burnout was assessed using the French version of the Maslash Burnout Inventory (MBI).

Results

Our study included 135 healthcare workers. The average age was 41.7 ± 9.15 years. 81.5% of the sample was female. Nurses accounted for 60% of staff. More than half (51.1%) worked shifts, with night work in 32.6%. A pathological history was noted in 17.8% of healthcare workers, and a history of work-related accidents in 40.7%. The prevalence of burnout in our study population was 42.6%, with a high emotional exhaustion score in 47.4%, a high depersonalization score in 23.7% and a low personal accomplishment score in 73.3%. Burnout was significantly associated with alcoholism (p=0.016), shift work (p=0.037) and the presence of stress at work (p=0.048).

Conclusions

The prevalence of burnout was high in our study population, hence the importance of setting up a burnout prevention strategy in hospitals.
