There is scant evidence on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on burnout in front-line military personnel and how working time may influence on this condition. We aimed to determine the association between working time and Burnout syndrome in military personnel. A cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data among 576 military personnel from Lambayeque, Peru during the second wave of COVID-19 in 2021. We used the Maslach Burnout Inventory instrument to measure Burnout Syndrome. We evaluated its association with work time, measured as the number of months that the military member worked during the pandemic. The prevalence of burnout syndrome was 9%. Of the total sample, 39.1% and 10.3% presented depersonalization and emotional exhaustion, respectively. Military personnel working for more than 18 months had a 104% higher prevalence of Burnout syndrome (PR: 2.04, 95%CI: 1.02-4.10). Exposure to a prolonged work time during the pandemic increased the prevalence of Burnout syndrome in military personnel. This information helps to understand the potential effects of the pandemic on this population and provides insight into the time the military members would need rest to prevent Burnout syndrome.
关于 COVID-19 大流行对一线军事人员倦怠的影响，以及工作时间如何对此产生影响，证据甚少。我们旨在确定工作时间与军事人员倦怠综合征之间的关系。这是一项在 2021 年 COVID-19 第二波期间，对秘鲁兰巴耶克的 576 名军事人员进行的横断面研究，使用了来自二级数据。我们使用了 Maslach 倦怠量表来衡量倦怠综合征。我们评估了它与工作时间的关系，工作时间的测量方法是军事人员在大流行期间工作的月数。倦怠综合征的患病率为 9%。在总样本中，分别有 39.1%和 10.3%的人出现了人格解体和情绪衰竭。在大流行期间工作超过 18 个月的军事人员，倦怠综合征的患病率高出 104%（PR：2.04，95%CI：1.02-4.10）。在大流行期间暴露于延长的工作时间会增加军事人员倦怠综合征的患病率。这些信息有助于了解大流行对这一人群的潜在影响，并深入了解军事人员需要休息以预防倦怠综合征的时间。
