crisis / COVID-19 pandemic / normal circumstances). The researchers relied
upon Pearson’s correlations, t-test and ANOVA, as well as regressive analysis to
identify the predictors of psychological burnout.
The results of the study showed that the workers in the field of mental health do
not suffer from burnout in terms of emotional exhaustion and desensitization.
They only suffer from burnout in terms of their sense of achievement, where
69.1% of the sample expressed a low sense of achievement. The findings also
indicated that the members of the sample attained high scores on the PMI, where the means was 81.4, which is considered a very high degree of prevention. The findings also showed that there are no differences in psychological burnout in terms of the factors of profession, age and years of experience. A negative correlation was found between the sense of achievement and the work conditions during war time. However, these are not part of the predictive factors, since they do not fulfill the statistical significance in the multiple regression line. The only predicting factor of the psychological burnout dimensions is the preventive measures, where a positive proportional correlation between preventive measures and a sense of achievement was detected. A negative correlation was detected between it and the dimension of desensitization towards the patients. As for emotional exhaustion, no statistically significant relation was found between the two variables.
