Abstract
The research is a cross-sectional and descriptive study that examines the relationship between the increased workload in Covid-19 intensive care units and the burnout levels of nurses. The study population consists of nurses working in Covid-19 intensive care units. The sample was composed of nurses who met the inclusion criteria for the study and volunteered to participate in the research at Yıldırım Beyazıt University Training and Research Hospital. Pandemic is generally defined as the worldwide spread of a previously unseen disease. Pandemics have a high rate of infecting and causing fatalities in the global population. Along with pandemics, come various societal issues affecting areas such as work, the economy, education, and, notably, the healthcare sector. The unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic has placed immense pressure on the healthcare sector worldwide, exacerbating pre-existing workloads and burnout issues. In our study addressing this problem, questions were posed using a sociodemographic data form, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the Individual Workload Perception Scale. The collected data was analyzed, and the findings were compared with the literature to draw conclusions. Recommendations were made based on these analyses. Key words: Covid-19, Nursing, Workload, Burnout
