The epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, China and has now spread worldwide. In the affected countries, physicians and nurses are under heavy workload conditions and are at high risk of infection.
The aim of this study was to compare the frequency of burnout between physicians and nurses on the frontline (FL) wards and those working in usual wards (UWs).
A survey with a total of 49 questions was administered to 220 medical staff members from the COVID-19 FL and UWs, with a ratio of 1:1. General information, such as age, gender, marriage status, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-medical personnel, were gathered and compared.
The group working on the FLs had a lower frequency of burnout (13% vs. 39%; P < 0.0001) and were less worried about being infected compared with the UW group.
Compared with medical staff working on their UWs for uninfected patients, medical staff working on the COVID-19 FL ward had a lower frequency of burnout. These results suggest that in the face of the COVID-19 crisis, both FL ward and UW staff should be considered when policies and procedures to support the well-being of health care workers are devised.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）疫情最初在中国武汉被发现，现已在全球范围内蔓延。在受影响的国家，医生和护士的工作量很大，感染风险很高。
本研究旨在比较一线（FL）病房和普通病房（UW）的医生和护士之间的倦怠发生率。
对来自 COVID-19 FL 和 UW 的 220 名医务人员进行了一项共 49 个问题的调查，比例为 1:1。收集并比较了一般信息，如年龄、性别、婚姻状况和 Maslach 职业倦怠量表-医务人员。
FL 组的倦怠发生率较低（13% vs. 39%；P<0.0001），且与 UW 组相比，对感染的担忧程度较低。
与为未感染患者服务的 UW 医务人员相比，为 COVID-19 FL 病房工作的医务人员的倦怠发生率较低。这些结果表明，在应对 COVID-19 危机时，在制定支持医护人员福祉的政策和程序时，应同时考虑 FL 病房和 UW 工作人员。
