Abstract
[This is an excerpt.] The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated work-related stressors and elucidated pre-existing unsafe working conditions, which have negatively impacted the well-being of healthcare personnel. Internationally, clinical capacity continues to be strained as COVID-19 cases reach new highs and the cadence of turnover among healthcare personnel worsens. This is of concern given that perception of clinical capacity to adequately meet patient care needs is one of the strongest predictors of burnout among nurses and physicians (Carthon et al., 2021; Olayiwola et al., 2018). Burnout is recognized as a reduction in energy that manifests in emotional exhaustion, cynicism and frustration that in turn can lead to decreased work efficacy over time (Maslach et al., 1997; Maslach et al., 2001).
