BACKGROUND: Occupational burnout is one of the most important consequences of the coronavirus disease pandemic, associated with psychological well-being, quality of care, and intention to leave the nursing profession. This is a major health problem with serious adverse consequences not only for nurses but also for patients and healthcare systems. OBJECTIVE: To assess burnout and its associated factors in nurses who worked in teaching hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on nurses of two COVID-19 referral hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Data were collected using the sociodemographic form and Maslach burnout inventory-human service survey (MBI-HSS) questionnaire. Data were evaluated using SPSS software version 26. RESULTS: A total of 264 participants, 52.7% (nâ=â139) were males and the mean of them age was 34.41±9.71 years. Almost 50% of nurses experienced burnout, in each dimension. Emotional exhaustion was associated significantly with job retention intention (Pâ=â0.01) and depersonalization was significantly associated with gender (Pâ=â0.02), age (Pâ=â0.01), educational level (Pâ=â0.004), work shifts (Pâ=â0.006), and job retention intention (Pâ=â0.02). In addition, personal accomplishment score was significantly associated with age (Pâ=â0.002), marital status (Pâ=â0.03), educational level (Pâ=â0.03), work shift (Pâ=â0.04) and job retention intention (Pâ=â0.01). CONCLUSION: The burnout rate in the COVID-19 era is high among nurses associated with improper care. Psychosocial support is needed to improve mental well-being among health care workers during unpredictable conditions like pandemics.
