Abstract
Burnout among healthcare workers is a significant concern globally, particularly in low-resource settings like Liberia. This mixed-methods study aimed to assess burnout levels and identify contributing factors among healthcare workers at C.B. Dunbar Hospital and The Baptist Clinic in Gbarnga City, Bong County, Liberia. Quantitative data on burnout levels and work- life balance perceptions were collected from 50 healthcare workers, supplemented by qualitative insights from interviews. Findings revealed that a majority of participants experienced frequent workload-related stress, highlighting the pervasive nature of burnout in this context. Despite challenges, many healthcare workers reported moderate to positive work-life balance perceptions. Logistic regression analysis identified workload and work-life balance perceptions as significant predictors of burnout. Qualitative analysis further elucidated the complex interplay of factors contributing to burnout, including workload pressures, inadequate support systems, and stigma surrounding mental health issues. The study underscores the importance of implementing targeted interventions to mitigate burnout among healthcare workers in Liberia, including improving workload management, enhancing support systems, and promoting a culture of work-life balance.
