Burnout in Infection Control Practitioners During Extended Public Health Crisis Events: A Mixed Methods Systematic Review Protocol.
Article in HRB open research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Infection prevention and control work environments are complex in nature and have long been associated with extended public health crisis events; major global outbreaks, including epidemics, and pandemics. The role of infection control practitioners shifted exponentially during the COVID-19 pandemic and with this rapid change came anxiety, emotional exhaustion and burnout. Burnout at work generally occurs in response to chronic and prolonged exposure to emotionally challenging events, causing emotional exhaustion, feelings of cynicism, and lack of accomplishment at work. This systematic review aims to investigate burnout in infection control practitioners during extended public health crisis events in upper middle and high income countries globally. Methods: A mixed-methods systematic review will be carried out and will include qualitative, quantitative and primary mixed-methods studies that investigate the elements of burnout and associated factors such as individual factors and organisational challenges, during extended public health crisis events. After an initial scoping literature search, up to six databases will be searched for studies on burnout in relation to infection prevention practitioners. Study quality will be checked using standardised Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools. The proposed review will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute convergent integrated approach for mixed methods systematic reviews. Following data extraction, quantitative data will be converted into 'qualitized data' in the form of textual descriptions. Discussion: It is well documented that adverse conditions during extended public health crisis events can lead to burnout. This systematic review will investigate burnout in infection control practitioners in upper-middle and high-income countries during public health crisis events. The findings will inform healthcare professionals, senior policy makers and researchers contributing to a richer understanding of burnout and associated factors in infection control practitioners with the aim of informing implementation of support structures in practice.Protocol Registration Number: PROSPERO 2024 CRD42024508996.
