Cross-sectional study reveals high rates of burnout and workplace abuse among healthcare workers during overlapping crises, highlighting urgent needs for institutional support.

Key Points

To determine the prevalence and associated factors of burnout syndrome among hospital healthcare workers navigating both the COVID-19 pandemic and civil war in Libya.
Cross-sectional survey conducted between April 18 and May 2, 2020, among Libyan hospital healthcare workers (N=532).
Burnout assessed using the abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory (aMBI), evaluating emotional exhaustion (EE, range 0–18), depersonalization (DP, range 0–18), and personal accomplishment (PA, range 0–18).
Moderate-to-severe burnout defined as scores of 10–18 for EE and DP, and scores ≤10 for PA.
Moderate-to-severe emotional exhaustion occurred in 67.1% (357/532) of participants, depersonalization in 47.4% (252/532), and low personal accomplishment in 22.7% (121/532).
Workplace abuse was widespread, with 57.1% (304/532) reporting verbal abuse and 17.5% (93/532) experiencing physical abuse.
High emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were significantly associated with gender, professional specialty, and fear of COVID-19 infection, while age ≥35 years was associated with high depersonalization.
