Work environment related feelings of dissatisfaction, exhaustion, decreased interest and isolation is common. Burnout among health professionals has been on rise at every stage of professional growth affecting wellness of service providers, patient care and health care organizational efficiency. Assessment of burnout among health care workers from government setup in the current context in this post COVID era in our socio-geographical context has become essential. The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of burnout among nurses and doctors working at a tertiary care government hospital in Nepal.
This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among nurses and doctors working at a tertiary level government hospital from May 2022 to Nov 2022 after approval from Institutional Review Committee of the same institute. Nurses and doctors available on duty, from all ages were included. Trainees and students, those unable to participate due to their illness, on leave, known cases of mental illness were excluded. The point estimate was calculated at 95% Confidence Interval.
Among 180 participants, the prevalence of moderate burnout was 94 (52.22%) (44.92-59.51, 95% Confidence Interval). Among nurses 72 (50%), while in doctors 22 (61.11%) had moderate burnout. Out of those with moderate levels of burnout, the majority of 66 (52.80%) were in the age group 26-50 years.
The prevalence of burnout among nurses and doctors is high, similar to other studies done in similar settings.
与工作环境相关的不满、疲惫、兴趣减退和孤立感很常见。医疗专业人员的职业倦怠在职业发展的每个阶段都在上升，影响着服务提供者的健康、患者护理和医疗组织效率。在我们社会地理背景下的新冠后时代，评估政府机构中医护人员的职业倦怠已变得至关重要。本研究的目的是找出尼泊尔一家三级护理政府医院工作的护士和医生中职业倦怠的患病率。
本描述性横断面研究于2022年5月至2022年11月在同一机构的机构审查委员会批准后，对一家三级政府医院工作的护士和医生进行。纳入所有年龄段在岗的护士和医生。实习生、学生、因病无法参与、休假、已知患有精神疾病的人员被排除。点估计值在95%置信区间计算。
在180名参与者中，中度职业倦怠的患病率为94（52.22%）（44.92 - 59.51，95%置信区间）。护士中有72人（50%），医生中有22人（61.11%）存在中度职业倦怠。在中度职业倦怠者中，大多数66人（52.80%）年龄在26 - 50岁之间。
护士和医生中职业倦怠的患病率很高，与在类似环境中进行的其他研究相似。
