Work experiences, burnout, and psychological distress of frontline health professionals during the COVID-19 omicron epidemic: a multicenter cross-sectional study in Southern China
This study highlights the burnout and mental health burden among frontline health professionals linked to specific emergency work arrangements during COVID-19 containment. Our findings underscore the need for targeted institutional design in future health emergencies. Future preparedness planning should integrate psychological sustainability into emergency protocols, including rotational deployments, support measures, and workload balancing strategies.
