Abstract
Background: Burnout is a prolonged response to chronic emotional and interpersonal stressors on the job. It has three components: emotional exhaustion which is sense of physical and emotional exhaustion, depersonalization which is revealed through attitudes of emotional detachment from people to whom the professional should care for and co-workers and low personal accomplishment where work loses its meaning and became burden.
Objectives: the aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of burnout among the anesthesia providers and to know the risk factors associated to it.
Methodology: we are going to assess the prevalence and associated risk factor of burnout with standard questionnaire that was administered to the participant of the research. The questionnaire has two components the socio-demographic variables and standard MBI-HSS which has 22 question which has 9 EE, 5 DP, 8PA subcomponents.
Results: of 128 eligible anesthesia providers 119 responded making the response rate 92.9%. The overall burnout is 16% among anesthesia providers and gender, level of education and professional work experience is significantly associated to burnout. Multiple regression was done for those significant at the level of p value < 0.05 revealed that being male is risky with odds ratio of 5.25 with 95% CI [1.06- 26.1].
Conclusion and recommendation: This research has shown us the anesthesia providers are at high emotional exhaustion scale which unless further measure is taken to prevent and stop the level of burnout, it has great impact on the patient safety and hospital productivity in general.
