【 摘 要 】

Background: Burnout has been prevalent among healthcare workers (HCWs). However, the effect of the CoronavirusDisease (COVID-19) pandemic on this phenomenon in HCWs is unclear.Objective: This systematic review aims to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on burnout of HCWs using Maslach BurnoutInventory (MBI).Methods: A systematic search was performed on PubMed database for articles published between 1 December 2019 and 30June 2021. Search strategy combined terms for HCWs, COVID-19, burnout, and MBI. The main outcome of interest wasburnout, including both mean prevalence and MBI scores for high emotional exhaustion (EE), high depersonalisation (DP) andlow personal accomplishment (PA).Results: Four cohort studies, 90 cross-sectional studies and one randomised-controlled trial were included for review. Onlyone cohort study compared burnout data among HCWs before and during COVID-19. It reported a statistically significantincrease in mean EE and PA scores from 21.9 to 24.8 (p = .001), and 42.7 to 48.7 (p = .001), respectively. The remainingstudies only evaluated burnout data during COVID-19 but were missing burnout data prior to the pandemic for comparison.Across these studies, the overall mean prevalence of burnout among HCWs was 39.95%, with mean MBI EE scores of 22.07,DP scores of 7.83, and PA scores of 32.53. Burnout outcomes were generally comparable across specific healthcareprofessions such as doctors and nurses.Conclusion: Whilst quality research elucidating the effect of pandemic on burnout is lacking, current burnout prevalenceamong HCWs during COVID-19 is notable.
