description Kareemah Salem Alshurtan, Saad Yousef Aldhaifi, Khalid Abdulkarim Alshammari, Othman Mohammed Alodayli, Khalid Falah Alqahtani, Sarah Yousef Aldhaifi Department of Internal Medicine and Adult Critical Care, College of Medicine, University of Ha’il, Ha’il, Saudi ArabiaCorrespondence: Kareemah Salem Alshurtan, Department of Internal Medicine and Adult Critical Care, College of Medicine, University of Ha’il, Ha’il, Saudi Arabia, Email K.alshurtan@uoh.edu.saBackground: Burnout Syndrome constitutes a critical concern in healthcare, particularly among practitioners operating in high-stress, critical care settings. Understanding the multifaceted factors contributing to burnout in this context is pivotal for devising effective interventions and promoting the well-being of critical care professionals.Objective: To investigate the prevalence, contributing factors, and potential interventions related to Burnout Syndrome among critical care health providers in Saudi Arabia.Methods: A cross-sectional research design was employed, gathering data from a sample of critical care health providers, including medical practitioners. A self-administered structured electronic questionnaire was used, incorporating the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) with its three subscales: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. The target population was male and female critical care health providers over 18 years age, most participants lies between 25 years to 34 years.Results: Statistical analysis shows significant disparities in response distribution (p< 0.05), highlighting the importance of understanding encounters with emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment, and depersonalization. The Durbin-Watson statistic indicated limited autocorrelation, and collinearity tolerance values suggested nominal intercorrelations among predictors. A significant positive correlation was found between the “Depersonalization Loss of Empathy MBI” factor and the outcome variables, indicating complex relationships between emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment, and depersonalization.Conclusion: The study highlights the multifaceted nature of burnout, revealing intricate relationships between emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment, and depersonalization. These findings collectively form an important foundation for future guidelines and interventions to enhance the well-being of healthcare professionals.Keywords: maslach burnout inventory, MBI, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, personal accomplishment, high-stress environments, healthcare professionals, work-related stress, occupational burnout
