Method evidence record

Healthcare Worker COVID-19 Burnout Scale

The Healthcare Worker COVID-19 Burnout Scale (HWCBS) measures occupational burnout specific to pandemic-era healthcare work, including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment under pandemic stress. Adapted from the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) by Lan and colleagues for COVID-19 contexts, it captures the compounded burden of patient care, infection risk, resource scarcity, and social isolation affecting frontline workers. The HWCBS is widely used in occupational health surveillance and intervention trials targeting healthcare worker mental health and retention.
