Burnout Syndrome Among Perioperative Healthcare Providers in Rwanda
One in 5 perioperative health care providers in Rwanda report having burnout, which is consistent with previous data. This suggests that burnout is widespread across the Rwandan health care system, across different perioperative professions. The only factor that was associated with burnout was lack of access to essential equipment; however, other factors that have been identified in the literature, which are not statistically significant in this study, should not be overlooked. Addressing equipment shortages may reduce the risk of burnout among perioperative health care providers in low-resource settings, in addition to directly impacting the quality of care.
