Adaptive behaviour among the participants.

BackgroundBurnout prevalence and its consequences on healthcare workers during the Omicron wave are not well investigated in Sudan. This study aims to assess the prevalence of burnout and its associated factors among doctors and nurses during the omicron wave in COVID-19 isolation centres in Khartoum, Sudan.MethodThis cross-sectional survey study was conducted at multiple COVID-19 isolation centres in Khartoum state during the omicron wave of Coronavirus Disease 2019 between 20th February 2022 and 10th April 2022. A total of 306 doctors and nurses filled out the questionnaire, with a response rate of 64.8℅. They were recruited from 5 isolation centers scattered in the three cities of Khartoum Metropolis. The level of burnout was assessed using an online semi-structured questionnaire based on the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used for continuous variables and frequencies with percentages for categorical variables. The Chi-square test and Fisher exact test were used to identify variables associated with burnout. Logistic regression was used to determine the factors associated with burnout, and the p-value of ≤ .05 is considered statistically significant.ResultsThe prevalence of burnout was 45.7%. Doctors were more likely to have burnout than nurses (OR: 2.01, CI 95% 1.24–3.27; p = 0.005). Also, married healthcare workers were more likely to suffer burnout than single healthcare workers (OR: 3.89, CI 95% 1.41–12.5; P = 0.013). The number of household members (p = 0.035) was associated with burnout among participants.ConclusionThere is a high prevalence of burnout among healthcare workers in Khartoum Isolation Centers, which is more apparent among doctors.背景：奥密克戎疫情波期间，苏丹医护人员的职业倦怠患病率及其相关影响尚未得到充分研究。本研究旨在评估苏丹喀土穆地区新冠（COVID-19）隔离点内，医生与护士在奥密克戎疫情波期间的职业倦怠患病率及其相关影响因素。 方法：本研究为横断面调查研究，于2022年2月20日至2022年4月10日奥密克戎毒株流行期间，在喀土穆州多个新冠隔离点开展。共计306名医生与护士填写了调查问卷，应答率为64.8%。研究对象招募自分布于喀土穆都会区三座城市的5家隔离点。本研究采用基于奥尔登堡倦怠量表（Oldenburg Burnout Inventory）编制的线上半结构化调查问卷评估职业倦怠水平。连续变量采用描述性统计分析，分类变量采用频数与百分比进行描述。采用卡方检验与费希尔精确检验筛选与职业倦怠相关的变量，通过logistic回归分析确定职业倦怠的相关影响因素，以P值≤0.05作为具有统计学显著性的判定标准。 结果：本次研究中职业倦怠的患病率为45.7%。医生的职业倦怠检出率显著高于护士（优势比[OR]：2.01，95%置信区间[CI]：1.24~3.27；P=0.005）。已婚医护人员的职业倦怠发生率显著高于未婚医护人员（OR：3.89，95%CI：1.41~12.5；P=0.013）。研究对象的家庭人口数与职业倦怠存在显著关联（P=0.035）。 结论：喀土穆新冠隔离点医护人员的职业倦怠患病率较高，其中医生群体的职业倦怠问题更为突出。
