It is crucial to update our understanding of prevalence data, identify associated factors, and evaluate support resources during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We aimed to explore the prevalence of burnout among palliative and hospice care workers, 2\u00a0years into the COVID-19 pandemic by using the Maslach\u2019s Burnout Inventory; anxiety, using General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), workload, risk perception of COVID-19, confidence in protective measures (personal, workplace, and government), and usage and perceived helpfulness of support resources. Univariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyse burnout against these factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 115 respondents encompassing doctors, nurses and social workers (76.5% female; average age 40.9), 48.7% experienced burnout. Burnout correlated with increased anxiety, higher COVID-19 risk perception, heavier workload, and reduced confidence in protective measures. Peer support, COVID information, and psychological programs were rated as the most effective for coping.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study indicates considerable levels of burnout among palliative and hospice care workers, linked to workload, anxiety, and perceived risk. Traditional mental health interventions had limited efficacy; respondents favoured peer support and organisational changes. The findings stress the need for a holistic approach, including diverse resources, workload management, and regular mental health assessments.<\/jats:p>\n
