dc.description.abstractABSTRACT Healthcare personnel are required to offer healthcare in pandemics, which increases their risk of burnout. Burnout remains an occupational risk for healthcare workers. The aim of this study was to investigate burnout syndrome and anxiety amongst nurses working at the Mbagathi hospital post COVID-19 pandemic. The study was authorized at all three levels after being submitted to the National Council of Science and Technology (NACOSTI), Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS), and the Mbagathi Hospital Research Committee. This study utilized a cross-sectional research design. For biodata, a standardized questionnaire was used. The Maslach burnout syndrome questionnaire and Beck’s anxiety inventory tools were used to assess burnout and anxiety respectively. The sample size was calculated by using the attrition rate of 10%, which is 20 nurses, the rate added up to a total of 153 nurses. Results revealed 60% of the respondents had significant levels of burnout syndrome, 89% had depersonalization syndrome, and 90% reported difficulties with how others perceived their personal achievements. 46% of respondents experienced high levels of anxiety, while 40% showed signs of moderate worry. Pearson's correlation and multiple linear regression were used to establish the link between anxiety and burnout syndrome. The correlation coefficient and regression beta estimate, which are in line with the probability values, pointed to a weak and insignificant relation between anxiety and burnout syndrome. The nurses experienced burnout as a result of elevated anxiety levels. There were two types of coping mechanisms utilized: physical and emotion-focused; direct and indirect techniques. Institutional support system, and peer support also featured in coping mechanisms. To respond to pandemics effectively, administration must reinforce and increase institutional care and personal preparedness.
