In a previous study, we assessed burnout in geriatric healthcare workers during the first lockdown that lasted from March to May 2020 in France, in response to the COVID-19 crisis.
We carried out a follow-up study to assess burnout in the same population during the second lockdown that was implemented at the end of October 2020.
We used an online survey to assess burnout in terms of exhaustion and disengagement in a sample of 58 geriatric healthcare workers.
We found higher levels of exhaustion, disengagement, and burnout among geriatric healthcare workers during the second than during the first lockdown. We also found high levels of exhaustion but moderate disengagement and burnout during the second lockdown.
The increased exhaustion, disengagement, and burnout during the second lockdown can be attributed to the increased workload in geriatric facilities throughout this crisis and during the second lockdown due to shortage in staff and increased number of shifts and allocated duties. The high levels of exhaustion reported among geriatric healthcare workers during the second lockdown can reflect their physical fatigue, as well as their feelings of being emotionally overextended and exhausted by their workload.
在之前的一项研究中，我们评估了 2020 年 3 月至 5 月法国 COVID-19 危机期间首次封锁期间老年保健工作者的倦怠情况。
我们进行了一项后续研究，以评估在 2020 年 10 月底实施的第二次封锁期间同一人群的倦怠情况。
我们使用在线调查评估了 58 名老年保健工作者样本中因精疲力竭和脱离工作产生的倦怠情况。
与第一次封锁相比，第二次封锁期间老年保健工作者的精疲力竭、脱离工作和倦怠程度更高。我们还发现第二次封锁期间精疲力竭程度较高，但脱离工作程度中等，倦怠程度适中。
由于整个危机期间和第二次封锁期间老年护理机构人手短缺以及轮班和分配任务增加，导致工作负荷增加，第二次封锁期间的精疲力竭、脱离工作和倦怠程度增加。第二次封锁期间老年保健工作者报告的精疲力竭程度较高，可能反映了他们的身体疲劳，以及他们因工作量而感到情绪过度紧张和疲惫。
