Abstract

To investigate job satisfaction and burnout levels among the personnel of a public oncology hospital amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a cross-sectional survey was designed. The study was carried out from December 2021 to January 2022 through the application of an anonymous, structured, self-completed, closed-ended questionnaire, consisting of the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) in a convenience sample comprised by 117 employees of "Agioi Anargyroi" General Oncology Hospital (response rate: 98%). It was observed that while overall job satisfaction was reduced, several of its determining dimensions like supervision, relationship with co-workers, or work nature were increased. Also, an average overall burnout of 49% was observed across all participants, with women, nurses, and those with a lower educational level experiencing it more intensely. The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak affected negatively healthcare professionals who experienced significant personal and occupational burnout, consequently reducing their job satisfaction.
