- Abstract
배경 We aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of burnout among healthcare workers responding to the COVID-19 outbreak in Korea. 방법 A nationwide large-scale questionnaire-based survey was conducted from December 1, 2020, to January 29, 2021. The questionnaire was developed with items including sociodemographic factors, the physical and mental health assessment such as Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Primary Care Posttraumatic Stress Disorder-5 (PC-PTSD-5), Patient Healthcare Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, Global Assessment of Recent Stress Scale (GARS), Positive Resources Test. 결과 The prevalence of healthcare worker’s burnout was 77.3% (1102/1425). Multiple logistic regression anal- ysis revealed that predictive risk factors (odd ratios [OR]; 95% confidence interval [CI]) of their burnout were chronic fatigue symptoms (FSS ≥ 3.22) after outbreak of COVID-19 (OR, 3.94; 95% CI 2.80 to 5.56), female (OR, 2.05; 95% CI 1.46 to 2.86), physical symptoms (PHQ-15 ≥ 10) (OR, 2.03; 95% CI 1.14 to 3.60), a higher GARS (OR, 1.71; 95% CI 1.46 to 2.01), post-traumatic stress symptoms (PC-PTSD-5 ≥ 2) (OR, 1.47; 95% CI 1.08 to 2.01) and younger age (OR, 1.45; 95% CI 1.22 to 1.72). The chronic fatigue symptom was correlated with cumulative number of days to care (OR, 1.18; 95% CI 1.02 to 1.37). The physical symptom was correlated with average contact hours with COVID-19 patients per day (OR, 1.34; 95% CI 1.17 to 1.54), and cumulative number of days to care (OR, 1.21; 95% CI 1.06 to 1.38). 결론 The most Korean healthcare workers are suffering from burnout related to excessive workload during COVID-19 pandemic. It is urgently necessary to regularly check their burnout status and reduce the ex- cessive workload by supplementing the workforce for appropriate working hours and sufficient rest being provided.
