%X UNASSIGNED: This article examines the prevalence of burnout among healthcare providers in the aftermath of the recent earthquakes in Syria and Turkey and explores the associated risk factors.
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study included 270 healthcare providers in three Syrian cities damaged by earthquakes. Participants were asked to fill out a validated questionnaire on the fifth day of emergency response using the Geldard Occupational Burnout questionnaire.
UNASSIGNED: The mean score for the Geldard Occupational Burnout Questionnaire was 129.79, with 81.4% indicating moderate burnout risk and only 3% indicating high risk. Gender was not significantly associated with burnout, but there was a significant difference in burnout scores between city groups, with Latakia scoring significantly lower than Aleppo.
