摘要

The challenging conditions faced by healthcare professionals (HCPs) during the pandemic have been extensively discussed in the literature, particularly concerning Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) and Burnout (BO). This study systematically compiled studies meeting the inclusion criteria and examining the relationship between STS and BO between 2019 and 2024 in the Web of Science and PubMed databases, conducting a correlational meta-analysis. While the PRISMA was adhered to in all stages of this manuscript, the Quality Assessment and Validity Tool for Correlational Studies was adhered to in evaluating the articles that met the inclusion criteria. This analysis included 61 publications involving 33.906 HCPs. When raw r coefficients were transformed into Fisher’s z values, the correlation coefficients ranged between 0.1820 and 1.1881, with a 100% positive direction, and the weighted correlation coefficient was 0.6305 (95% CI: 0.5888 to 0.6721). The results indicate a strong positive relationship between the levels of STS and BO among HCPs during the pandemic. The validation of the strong relationship between STS and BO during the COVID-19 period underscores the critical need for the development of information dissemination, resources, support, or policies to strengthen HCPs against STS and BO in the face of future epidemics, pandemics, or situations that could negatively impact the functioning of the healthcare system. In other words, it can be suggested to develop training and awareness programs for HCPs in terms of STS and BO, strengthen support systems, improve workload and working conditions, ensure continuity in monitoring and evaluating HCPs in terms of BO and STS, etc.
