Burnout is a condition caused by prolong stress, which may arise from having an excessive number of duties either at home or work, and is characterized by feeling drained physically, mentally, or emotionally. It is conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. Though it can impact healthcare professionals of any kind, it is more commonly found among those who tend to the needs of critically ill patients. An imbalance between an employee's characteristics and issues within the workplace or other factors within the organization is responsible for increasing the risk of burnout among intensive healthcare professionals. In the intensive care unit, it is common for the staff to have extended and intense interactions with the patients. This ongoing stress can be emotionally taxing and damaging for the helping professionals who work continuously in such situations.

In order to gain a better understanding of the potential hazards faced in the workplace, it is essential to explore the impact of burnout on healthcare workers who have frequent contact with extremely sick patients, their loved ones, and emergency incidents.
