Frontline healthcare workers have experienced increased personal and occupational stress related to burnout, depression, and anxiety. The long-term effects of burnout, anxiety and mental suffering may lead to social isolation, substance abuse and behavioral changes. The goal of this study is to assess the self-reported levels of burnout and institutional support among dental students, residents, faculty and staff at the University of California, San Francisco in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A 15-minutes short survey questionnaire was distributed to all dental students, dental residents, dental faculty, and staff through Qualtrics<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> online survey tool. Out of 109 participants, 108 individuals completed the survey during September 2023. This study was approved by the university\u2019s institutional review board (IRB # 23-39814). After demographic information, institutional support information was collected, the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) was used to assess personal and work-related burnout.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>During the period of the study there were 109 participants. We found that most professionals rated institutional support as Good. The CBI subscale scores revealed that both personal and work-related burnout were prevalent among study participants. A total of 108 dental professionals at UCSF completed a 21-item questionnaire assessing the impact of COVID-19 on wellbeing and burnout, with 55.56% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200960) reporting changes in their work-related wellbeing. Based on the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, 37.74% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200940) reported moderate, 8.49% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20099) high, and 1.89% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20092) severe personal burnout, while 38.68% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200941) experienced moderate and 14.15% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200915) high or severe work-related burnout.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Our study findings emphasize the need for proactive measures to address burnout and support the well-being of dental students, faculty, and staff.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The findings suggest that dental institutions should implement targeted support systems and mental health resources to address burnout among dental professionals effectively.
