Area of Science:

  • Medical and Health Sciences
  • Psychology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • COVID-19 pandemic led to increased burnout among healthcare workers.
  • Need to understand symptom development during the prolonged crisis.
  • Longitudinal data crucial for assessing persistent effects.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate if initial high burnout predicts later burnout and depressive symptoms.
  • Examine the impact of psychological support on symptom levels.
  • Assess long-term effects up to one year post-initial wave.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal case-control study of 581 healthcare workers.
  • Data collected at baseline (May 2020) and three follow-ups until September 2021.
  • Logistic regression analyzed burnout and depression symptoms, controlling for work factors and support participation.

Main Results:

  • One in five healthcare workers reported high burnout at baseline.
  • High baseline burnout predicted higher burnout and depressive symptoms at all follow-ups.
  • Psychological support participation showed no association with symptom reduction.

Conclusions:

  • Healthcare organizations must monitor staff psychological well-being, especially those in frontline roles.
  • Preventive strategies for burnout are essential in healthcare workplaces and education.
  • Proactive measures are needed to prepare for future health crises.
