Sumario:The aim of the current study was to examine the mental well-being of healthcare personnel (HCP) working in COVID-19 units in Greece and to calculate the prevalence of burnout (BO) amongst them. A questionnaire based on the Maslach Burnout Inventory for Medical Personnel was utilized between February 21st, 2021 and March 5th, 2021. A total of 190 HCP responded to the questionnaire, of which 73.7% were nurses and midwives. The mean age of the participants was 38.3 (8.4) years. Overall, 71.6% of the participants had a high BO score, while 20.5% had a moderate and 7.9% had a low BO score. Night shifts in COVID-19 wards and job dissatisfaction were significantly associated with a high BO score (P = .03 and P < .0001, respectively). The majority of HCP working in COVID-19 wards in Greece is experiencing high levels of overall BO and emotional exhaustion.
