The outbreak of COVID-19 in China was a sudden bio-disaster, which may bring a negative impact on the job burnout of health care professionals (HCPs). We aim to find out the association factors, especially those closely related to this outbreak, of job burnout in Chinese HCPs. The cross-sectional survey about HCPs' job burnout based on a network platform was conducted in high and low infection regions during the COVID-19 outbreak in China. The demographic characteristics, medical-work-related factors, risk of getting infected due to occupational exposure, and family factors were collected by the self-reported questionnaire. The Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (CMBI) and the Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ) were employed in this study to evaluate the job burnout and coping style, respectively. Furthermore, statistical analysis was done to find out the associated factors of job burnout. We collected 880 complete questionnaires from doctors and nurses from February 9, 2020 to February 11, 2020. In this study, the positive rates of three dimensions of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment) and overall burnout were 9.09, 50.57, 56.59, and 73.98%, respectively. After the statistical analysis, we found that several factors can independently affect the dimensions. Working in the high infection region and negative coping styles can affect all three dimensions at once. More night shift quantity and having symptoms could increase emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, while higher work intensity and senior title could increase emotional exhaustion and reduce personal accomplishment, respectively. The rate of moderate and severe burnout had increased due to the outbreak. More attention should be paid to burnout in HCPs, especially those with negative coping. There were some potential ways to reduce burnout, such as reducing their workload and providing better protection from the virus.
新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)在中国的爆发是一场突如其来的生物灾难,可能会对医护人员的职业倦怠产生负面影响。我们旨在找出中国医护人员职业倦怠的相关因素,尤其是与此次疫情密切相关的因素。在中国COVID-19疫情期间,基于网络平台对医护人员的职业倦怠进行了横断面调查。通过自填问卷收集人口统计学特征、与医疗工作相关的因素、职业暴露感染风险以及家庭因素。本研究采用中文版的马氏职业倦怠量表(CMBI)和特质应对方式问卷(TCSQ)分别评估职业倦怠和应对方式。此外,进行统计分析以找出职业倦怠的相关因素。我们在2020年2月9日至2020年2月11日期间从医生和护士中收集了880份完整问卷。在本研究中,职业倦怠三个维度(情感衰竭、去人格化和个人成就感降低)以及总体职业倦怠的阳性率分别为9.09%、50.57%、56.59%和73.98%。经过统计分析,我们发现几个因素可独立影响这些维度。在高感染地区工作和消极应对方式会同时影响所有三个维度。更多的夜班次数和出现症状会增加情感衰竭和去人格化,而更高的工作强度和高级职称分别会增加情感衰竭和降低个人成就感。由于此次疫情爆发,中度和重度职业倦怠的发生率有所上升。应更多关注医护人员的职业倦怠,尤其是那些采用消极应对方式的人员。有一些潜在的方法可以减少职业倦怠,例如减轻他们的工作量并提供更好的病毒防护。
