Abstract
Prior to the pandemic, there were alarmingly high numbers of healthcare professionals suffering from burnout, with some studies indicating numbers as high as 45 to 55%. Burnout remains an enigma that's difficult to define adequately and accurately. It has been described as a "basic tenet of fatigue" and "the intolerance of any effort," or as a combination of the inability and the unwillingness to expend the necessary effort at work for proper task completion, leading to lack of energy, reduced commitment, or disengagement.
