    (2025) Daneshvar, Elahe; Otterbach, Steffen; Otterbach, Steffen; Institute for Healthcare and Public Management (530), University of Hohenheim, Stuttgart, Germany
    This study evaluates the prevalence of burnout among healthcare professionals (HCPs) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran and examines its association with key occupational stressors (workload, job control, and leadership communication). Furthermore, it proposes relevant organisational interventions for future pandemic preparedness. A cross-sectional survey of HCPs (N = 723) was conducted in four hospitals in Tehran during the third peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran, including the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory and items on perceived workload, job control, and leadership communication. The study found that 67.41% of HCPs reported substantial symptoms of burnout (moderate-to-high burnout, i.e. CBI ≥ 50), with a mean score of 59.6 points. The prevalence of burnout (CBI ≥ 50) was prominent across all three dimensions—personal, work, and patient-related—at 72.86%, 69.87%, and 65.37%, respectively. The analysis demonstrated significant associations between burnout and the three foundational workplace stressors. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that frontline, female, and married HCPs reported the highest levels of burnout. This study provides practical implications for healthcare organisations and policy makers, highlighting the need for targeted organizational interventions that could mitigate burnout during ongoing and future health crises.
