Burnout and resilience among intensive care workers facing the end of the COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study
Determinants of burnout were identified among ICU staff members during the last year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Resilience helped HCWs cope with burnout. However, some of the most resilient HCWs presented with high levels of burnout. Efforts are necessary to implement resilience-building tools, yet public health policies to improve ICU organizational issues are more important and urgent for promoting sustainable well-being among professionals, particularly during challenges such as pandemics. Introducing resilience-building tools and implementing public health policies are necessary to improve ICU management and promote sustainable well-being among healthcare workers in high workload settings.
