Factors related to burnout syndrome among healthcare worker of Chana community hospital, Songkhla Province

Abstract

     This research investigated factors associated with burnout syndrome among healthcare workers at Chana Community Hospital in Songkhla Province using a cross-sectional descriptive design. The sample included 206 healthcare workers selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a quantitative questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential techniques including Chi-square statistics, Fisher's exact test, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression analysis to predict burnout syndrome at work.

     The research findings indicated that After conducting a thorough analysis of various factors, the study revealed that a significant majority of the sampled individuals exhibited a moderate level of perception in relation to job characteristics 64.6%, work stress 68.4%, quality of work life 77.7%, and burnout syndrome 74.8%. Through the examination of variable relationships, a multitude of factors emerged as significant contributors. These factors encompassed various dimensions, including age (p = 0.012), family role (p = 0.046), number of household members (p = 0.012), overall job perception (p = 0.002), relationship with peers, work participation (p < 0.001), work-related conflict (p = 0.002), work stress (p < 0.001), overall quality of work life (p < 0.001), a healthy working environment (p = 0.001), job security and progress (p < 0.001), social integration (p < 0.001), work-life balance (p < 0.001), and the socially beneficial nature of work (p-value < 0.001). These variables demonstrated a statistically significant correlation with burnout syndrome, reaching significance at both the 0.01 and 0.05 levels. Regarding the attributes of work that contribute to societal well-being, specifically encompassing co-worker relationships, work tenure, and job characteristics, they collectively possess the predictive capacity to account for 41.6 percent of burnout syndrome experienced within the workplace.
