Factors Affecting Burnout among Personnel at Mueang Chan Hospital, Sisaket Province

Abstract

     This survey research by cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the factors influencing occupational burnout among personnel at Mueang Chan Hospital, Sisaket Province, Thailand. The sample consisted of 139 personnel. Data were collected using a researcher-developed questionnaire from August 1 to August 31, 2026. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, median, 25th percentile, and 75th percentile, were used to summarize the data. Factors influencing occupational burnout were analyzed using stepwise multiple linear regression analysis, with the statistical significance level set at 0.05.

     The results revealed that two factors significantly influenced occupational burnout among personnel at Mueang Chan Hospital: self-efficacy in preventing occupational burnout and workplace relationships. Self-efficacy in preventing occupational burnout was the primary predictor and independently explained 55.4% of the variance in occupational burnout (R^²=0.554, B=0.593, β=0.601). Workplace relationships were the second predictor, and the two variables jointly explained 60.8% of the variance in occupational burnout. Overall, self-efficacy in preventing occupational burnout and workplace relationships were significant predictors of occupational burnout, jointly accounting for 60.8% of the variance (R^²=0.608, adjusted R^²=0.602, SE_est=2.008, F=105.322, p<0.001). Based on these findings, Mueang Chan Hospital should establish strategies for preventing occupational burnout by strengthening personnel’s self-efficacy in managing work-related stress and problems, while simultaneously promoting positive workplace relationships, teamwork, constructive communication, and peer-support systems. Regular assessment and surveillance of occupational burnout should also be implemented to promote personnel well-being and enhance work performance.
