Prevalence, Patterns, and Predictors of Burnout Among Healthcare Workers in a Tertiary Hospital in North-Eastern Nigeria.
Review in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Burnout is a job-related phenomenon that results from prolonged, unresolved workplace stress. It is characterized by feelings of exhaustion, increased mental distance from one's job, and reduced professional efficacy. In Nigeria, the ongoing emigration of the medical workforce, coupled with growing work load and poor working conditions, has heightened the risk of burnout, especially in states with severe healthcare manpower shortages, such as Adamawa State. This study assessed the prevalence, patterns, and predictors of burnout among healthcare workers at Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital, Yola, Adamawa State, Northeastern Nigeria. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 doctors and nurses at Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital, Yola, Northeastern Nigeria, selected through a two-stage sampling. Data were collected using a semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire incorporating the Maslach Burnout Inventory for Human Services Survey adapted for Medical Personnel. Predictors were determined using a multivariable logistic regression analysis. Results: The prevalence of burnout was high, affecting 140 (70.0%) respondents, with low personal achievement being the most common dimension (103; 51.5%). High emotional exhaustion was reported by 58 (29.0%) respondents, while depersonalization was observed among 52 (26.0%). Professional cadre and perception of the work environment were significantly associated with burnout, with nurses (AOR: 3.62, 95% CI: 1.37 - 9.59, p: 0.010) and those reporting a negative perception of their work environment (AOR: 6.98, 95% CI: 2.22 - 22.01, p: 0.001) showing higher levels of burnout. Conclusion: Burnout was highly prevalent among the healthcare workers, potentially affecting their well-being and the quality of care provided. Improvements in the work environment, institutional stress-management programmes, and staffing policy reforms are recommended.
