Abstract

The arrival of COVID-19 modified the way we live, care, teach, and self-care tremendously. Indeed, our personal and professional lives were much affected, and despite the fact that Canadian healthcare workers (HCW) and systems had some time to prepare in comparison to other countries, we faced a scenario that resembled no other. Adding the negative effects of a never-before-seen pandemic to the already well-known risk of burnout among HCW could surely increase the likelihood of colleagues, as well as ourselves, being affected. We hereby reviewed the numerous factors that could increase the risk of burnout amid this ongoing pandemic.
