The presence of burnout, anxiety, and depression among health professionals is a crucial issue that must be carefully addressed. The aim of this study is to investigate the levels of burnout, anxiety, and depression among health professionals (medical and nursing staff), the association of burnout with anxiety and depression, and the impact of occupational and demographic factors. One hundred and twenty-five health professionals (medical and nursing staff), who were working in a public hospital in the broader area of Athens, participated in the study (a sample of convenience). Of these 125 health professionals, 41 were men and 84 women, with the majority of them being in the age category of 36–45 years. For data collection, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire were used. The results showed that there was a statistically significant and negative correlation of emotional exhaustion with HADS total (r = −0.377; p = 0.000) and HADS anxiety (r = −0.417, p = 0.000). Also, there was a statistically significant and negative correlation of depersonalization with HADS total (r = −0.370, p = 0.000) and HADS anxiety (r = −0.431, p = 0.000). Moreover, there was a statistically significant effect (p < 0.05) of occupational and demographic characteristics. |
