Abstract
Objective: Investigation of the association of concern about own infection or infection of friends, family and care recipients with Covid-19 and burnout symptoms of caregivers in Brandenburg full inpatient geriatric care facilities.
Methods: Cross-sectional survey of nursing staff (n=195) in Brandenburg nursing homes between August and December 2020 regarding their psychosocial stress at work.
Results: Concern about having infected oneself, family and/or friends, or care recipients with Covid-19 is associated with increased expression of burnout symptoms (b=0,200, t(155)=2,777, p=0,006).
Conclusion: Increased experience of burnout symptoms due to concerns of risk of infection with Covid-19 in the workplace indicates a need for comprehensive support measures as well as sustainable approaches to managing psychosocial stress for geriatric caregivers.
