Examination of Female Healthcare Professionals’ Work-Family Life Balance and Burnout Within the COVID-19 Period

Abstract

Objective: The study aimed at female healthcare professionals’ work-family life balance and burnout levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods: The study has a cross-sectional descriptive design. The questionnaire forms were sent to female healthcare professionals online. A total of 305 female healthcare professionals who answered the questionnaire were included. Data were collected using the “Descriptive Information Form”, “Work-Family Life Balance Scale (WFLBS)”, and “Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI)." Results: In the study, female healthcare professionals’ mean WFLBS score was 3.14±0.66; “Negative Impacts of Work on Family” subscale mean score was 2.30±1.10; “Negative Impacts of Family on Work” subscale mean score was 3.75±1.19 and “Work-Family Accordance” subscale mean score was 3.91±0.78. Mean MBI score was found as 46.19±13.51, while mean scores were found as 19.80±8.57 for “Emotional Exhaustion”, 6.72± 4.90 for “Depersonalization”, and 19.66±5.39 for “Personal Accomplishment” subscales. A negative correlation was found between the overall mean scores of the WFLBS and the MBI. Conclusion: It was found that work-family life balance of female healthcare professionals was moderate, and the lowest score was found in the negative effect of the job on the family. It found that as work-family life balance of female healthcare professionals deteriorated, their burnout levels increased.
