Healthcare workers at the departments of Emergency Medicine, Intensive Care Unit, and Anesthesia at Muhimbili National Hospital were recruited from January 2021 to March 2021. A two\u2010part questionnaire adopted from the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and MBI\u2010Human Services Survey tool were administered to measure burnout. Categorical variables were summarized using frequencies and percentages, and variables were compared using logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 174 healthcare workers were issued questionnaires to participate in the study. With a response rate of 78%, 135 healthcare workers were included in the study, 43.7% were from the intensive care unit; the majority were female (63.7%), and assistant nursing officers (42%). The prevalence of burnout among participants was 62%, with 90.4% of participants showing a high level of emotional exhaustion. A longer duration of a single\u2010day shift was associated with increased burnout among work\u2010related factors (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Fewer night\u2010time sleeping hours, tobacco use, and lack of regular exercise were significantly associated with increased burnout among social\u2010related factors (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study showed an alarmingly high prevalence of burnout among healthcare workers in the acute care setting of Muhimbili National Hospital. Personal well\u2010being and participation in wellness programs have been associated with a reduced prevalence of burnout. The hospital should address the issue of burnout among its healthcare workers. This also calls for immediate action, necessitating further studies at the regional and national levels to ascertain the burden and causes of burnout in this setting.<\/jats:p>\n
