dc.description.abstract | Background: Burnout is frequent among intensive care unit (ICU) healthcare professionals and may result in medical errors and absenteeism. The COVID-19 pandemic
caused additional strain during working hours and also affected off-duty life. The aims
of this study were to survey burnout levels among ICU healthcare professionals during the first year of COVID-19, describe those who reported burnout, and analyse
demographic and work-related factors associated with burnout.<p>
<p>Methods: This was a national prospective longitudinal cohort study of 484 nurses, physicians and leaders working in intensive care units with COVID-19 patients in Norway.
Burnout was measured at 6- and 12-month follow-up, after a registration of baseline
data during the first months of the COVID epidemic. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), was used (range 0–100), burnout caseness defined as CBI ≥50. Bi- and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to examine baseline demographic
variables and work-related factors associated with burnout caseness at 12 months.
<p>Results: At 6 months, the median CBI score was 17, increasing to 21 at 12 months
(p = .037), with nurses accounting for most of the increase. Thirty-two per cent had
an increase in score of more than 5, whereas 25% had a decrease of more than
5. Ten per cent reported caseness of burnout at 6 months and 14% at 12 months
(n.s.). The participants with burnout caseness were of significantly lower age, had fewer years of experience, reported more previous anxiety and/or depression, more
moral distress, less perceived hospital recognition, and more fear of infection in the
bivariate analyses. Burnout was the single standing most reported type of psychological distress, and 24 out of 41 (59%) with burnout caseness also reported caseness of
anxiety, depression and/or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Multivariate analysis showed statistically significant associations of burnout caseness with
fewer years of professional experience (p = .041) and borderline significance of perceived support by leader (p = .049).
<p>Conclusion: In Norway, a minority of ICU nurses, physicians and leaders reported
burnout 1 year into the pandemic. A majority of those with burnout reported anxiety,
depression and/or PTSD symptoms combined. Burnout was associated with less
years of professional experience. | en_US |
