Özet

Objective: The aim of the study is to examine the burnout of general surgery assistants due to fear of Covid-19. Materials and Methods: The study, which had a descriptive and cross-sectional design, was conducted with 103 general surgery residents. Data; It was obtained with the Personal Information Form, Covid-19 Fear Scale and Maslach Burnout Scale. The data were evaluated in the SPSS program. Results: The average score of the residents on the Fear of Covid-19 Scale was found to be above the middle score. While depersonalization and emotional exhaustion, which are the sub-dimensions of the Maslach Burnout Scale, were experienced at moderate levels, it was determined that there was a significant decrease in the personal accomplishment dimension. It has been determined that assistants with a high fear of Covid-19 experience high levels of emotional exhaustion and high levels of depersonalization, as well as a feeling of decreased personal accomplishment. Conclusion: It is important to consider general surgery assistants, who are at high risk of contracting the Covid-19 virus, as risky groups during epidemic periods, and to implement necessary protective measures and crisis management policies including psychological support in reducing burnout syndrome.
