Abstract

The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and burnout syndrome in healthcare workers is so high that it can’t be underestimated, because of the intense workload, shift work, night shifts, and problems encountered during working hours. This study was planned to evaluate the factors related to anxiety, depression, and burnout levels of healthcare professionals working in a training and research hospital. This descriptive study included 196 health care workers working in the hospital. Statistical analysis of the categorical data was performed by Chi-square test. Statistical analysis of quantitative data was performed by Mann Whitney U test and by Kruskal Wallis variance analysis because it did not fit normal distribution. In this study, the frequency of depression was found to be 24.0% in healthcare workers and the frequency of anxiety was 29.6%. It was determined that the presence of depression was more common in night and shift workers. Anxiety was statistically higher in health workers with chronic diseases and sleep problems. Compared to other health workers, it was found that the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization levels of the Maslach burnout scale sub-headings were higher in physicians.These results are very important in terms of identifying psychosocial risk factors in health workers and forenlightening to improve working conditions.
