Abstract
Abstract INTRODUCTION: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) posed major obstacles for healthcare professionals, particularly nurses. The aim of this study is to investigate the extent of burnout across three domains (personal, work-related, and patient-related) and to identify associated factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 220 nurses in northern Kerala. Burnout was assessed in the context of COVID-19 using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory tool. RESULTS: This study showed that 25.9% of nurses experienced some level of burnout: 29.1% work-related, 37.3% patient-related, and 23.2% personal. Nurses who were younger, not currently married, and had less experience had a higher likelihood of experiencing patient-related burnout. Government sector nurses had higher levels of personal burnout, while permanent employees experienced more work-related burnout than their counterparts. CONCLUSION: The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions and support systems, particularly for younger and less experienced nurses, as well as those in the public health sector.
