Abstract

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an unpredictable healthcare crisis with a high psychological burden on healthcare workers.

Objective: To evaluate burnout levels and their associated demographics and occupational factors among intensive care unit healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in a single hospital in the city of Temuco, Chile.

Methods: A cross-sectional design in which a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory for Human Services were sent to health care workers in a single Chilean Intensive Care Unit during the pandemic COVID-19. Burnout levels, demographic, and occupational factors are reported using descriptive statistics; correlations between burnout levels and demographic-occupational factors were analyzed using Spearman's and rank-biserial correlation coefficients; and multiple linear stepwise regression was used to assess the contribution of demographic and occupational factors to participants' burnout levels.

Results: A total of 84 participants (46 women and 38 men) were included in the analysis. Depersonalization and low personal accomplishment were evidenced in 95.2% and 98.8% of the intensive care unit healthcare workers, respectively. Emotional exhaustion was positively correlated with having children ( = 0.72; < 0.01). Age ( = 0.79; < 0.05), sex ( = 0.30; < 0.05), and prior experience in intensive care unit facilities ( = 0.71; < 0.05) were correlated with depersonalization. Feeling of personal accomplishment was positively correlated with with sex ( = 0.70; < 0.05) and type of work shift ( = 0.29; < 0.01).

Conclusions: The intensive care unit healthcare workers in this study reported high levels of depersonalization and low feelings of personal accomplishment during an advanced stage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Older age, being female, having children, having intensive care unit experience, and working at 4th shift were factors related to burnout dimensions.

智利第一波新冠肺炎大流行期间重症监护室工作人员的精疲力竭水平和相关因素：一项横断面研究。

简介：新冠肺炎大流行导致了一场不可预测的医疗危机，给医护人员带来了沉重的心理负担。目的：评估新冠肺炎大流行期间特木科市一家医院重症监护室医护人员的职业倦怠水平及其相关的人口统计学和职业因素，智利。方法：一项横断面设计，在新冠肺炎大流行期间，向智利重症监护室的医护人员发送社会人口学问卷和Maslach人类服务消耗量表。使用描述性统计报告倦怠水平、人口统计和职业因素；采用Spearman和rank双序列相关系数分析职业倦怠水平与人口学职业因素的相关性；采用多元线性逐步回归法评估人口统计学和职业因素对参与者倦怠水平的贡献。结果：共有84名参与者（46名女性和38名男性）被纳入分析。95.2%和98.8%的重症监护室医护人员表现出人格解体和个人成就感低下。情绪衰竭与生孩子呈正相关（=0.72；<0.01）。年龄（=0.79；<0.05）、性别（=0.30；<0.05。个人成就感与性别（=0.70；<0.05）和轮班类型（=0.29；<0.01）呈正相关。结论：本研究中的重症监护室医护人员报告称，在新冠肺炎大流行的晚期，他们的人格解体程度较高，个人成就感较低。年龄较大、为女性、有孩子、有重症监护室经历以及在四班工作是与倦怠维度相关的因素。

期刊介绍： Medwave is a peer-reviewed, biomedical and public health journal. Since its foundation in 2001 (Volume 1) it has always been an online only, open access publication that does not charge subscription or reader fees. Since January 2011 (Volume 11, Number 1), all articles are peer-reviewed. Without losing sight of the importance of evidence-based approach and methodological soundness, the journal accepts for publication articles that focus on providing updates for clinical practice, review and analysis articles on topics such as ethics, public health and health policy; clinical, social and economic health determinants; clinical and health research findings from all of the major disciplines of medicine, medical science and public health. The journal does not publish basic science manuscripts or experiments conducted on animals. Until March 2013, Medwave was publishing 11-12 numbers a year. Each issue would be posted on the homepage on day 1 of each month, except for Chile’s summer holiday when the issue would cover two months. Starting from April 2013, Medwave adopted the continuous mode of publication, which means that the copyedited accepted articles are posted on the journal’s homepage as they are ready. They are then collated in the respective issue and included in the Past Issues section.
