Burnout Among Healthcare Workers: From Evaluation to Intervention for Holistic Well-Being

Background/Objectives: In the healthcare sector, burnout has become a critical concern due to high job demands and emotional strain. The main objective of the study is to examine the predictive role of psychosocial work-related risks in the development of burnout. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, using a snowball recruitment method, from May to September 2025, among 154 healthcare workers. Data were collected using a validated two questionnaires and analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The main results shows that psychosocial risk factors are consistently linked to the development of burnout symptoms. For exhaustion, the predictors included, Working Hours (β = .312, p < .001), Work Relations (β = .196, p = .026), and Emotional Demands (β = .295, p = .002). For mental distance, the predictors included Work Intensity (β = −.193, p = .049), Emotional Demands (β = .294, p = .004), and Work Values (β = .348, p = .003). For cognitive impairment, Work Values (β = .240, p = .042) and for emotional impairment, Employment Relations (β = .182, p = .038) emerged only one significant positive predictor. Conclusions: Findings underscore a crucial understanding: the development of burnout is not solely determined by the workload intensity, or the number of hours worked, the quality of working life and the dynamics within the workplace play pivotal roles in predicting burnout. A multidomain evaluation aligns with a holistic well-being approach to well-being by emphasizing that enhancing healthcare workers’ health demands systemic interventions addressing psychosocial work environment.
