Staff burnout and its risk factors at King Faisal Hospital Rwanda: a cross-sectional survey
Burnout rates and fatigue were high among healthcare providers. They were highest among those professions with direct patient contact. There are several evidence-based institutional interventions for burnout, but most evidence comes from settings outside of sub-Saharan Africa. Future research should assess the effectiveness of interventions specific to this setting.
