The demographic characteristics, medical-work-related factors, risk of getting infected due to occupational exposure, and family factors were collected by the self-reported questionnaire. The Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (CMBI) and the Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ) were employed in this study to evaluate the job burnout and coping style, respectively. Furthermore, statistical analysis was done to find out the associated factors of job burnout.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> We collected 880 complete questionnaires from doctors and nurses from February 9, 2020 to February 11, 2020. In this study, the positive rates of three dimensions of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment) and overall burnout were 9.09, 50.57, 56.59, and 73.98%, respectively. After the statistical analysis, we found that several factors can independently affect the dimensions. Working in the high infection region and negative coping styles can affect all three dimensions at once. More night shift quantity and having symptoms could increase emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, while higher work intensity and senior title could increase emotional exhaustion and reduce personal accomplishment, respectively.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> The rate of moderate and severe burnout had increased due to the outbreak. More attention should be paid to burnout in HCPs, especially those with negative coping. There were some potential ways to reduce burnout, such as reducing their workload and providing better protection from the virus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2020.563781","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,8]],"date-time":"2020-12-08T05:52:48Z","timestamp":1607406768000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["COVID-19 Outbreak Can Change the Job Burnout in Health Care Professionals"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Xinghuang","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dongke","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xin","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erchuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yanling","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheng","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chang","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chuang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yangshiyu","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ling","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaohua","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"23556","DOI":"10.3402\/ljm.v9.23556","article-title":"Burnout among physicians","volume":"9","author":"Romani","year":"2014","journal-title":"Libyan J Med."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.1348\/096317900166877","article-title":"The factorial validity of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) across occupational groups and nations","volume":"73","author":"Schutte","year":"2000","journal-title":"J Occup Organ Psychol."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"449","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apnu.2018.01.002","article-title":"Burnout evaluation and potential predictors in a greek cohort of mental health nurses","volume":"32","author":"Konstantinou","year":"2018","journal-title":"Arch Psychiatr Nurs."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"335","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-016-2890-7","article-title":"Prevalence and factors associated with occupational burnout among HIV\/AIDS healthcare workers in China: a cross-sectional study","volume":"16","author":"Qiao","year":"2016","journal-title":"BMC Public Health."},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"397","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.psych.52.1.397","article-title":"Job burnout","volume":"52","author":"Maslach","year":"2001","journal-title":"Annu Rev Psychol."},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"106","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.201604-0708ST","article-title":"A critical care societies collaborative statement: burnout syndrome in critical care health-care professionals.
