• Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has had an enormous impact on hospital staff. The aim of this study was to understand what individual and organizational factors are related to stress and burnout as a reaction to the pandemic Methods: An online survey was distributed to hospital staff in seven countries (Germany, Andorra. Ireland, Spain, Italy, Romania, Iran) in summer 2020. Burnout (exhaustion and depersonalization) was measured with two items. A set of variables was used to measure individual, coronavirus-related, and work-related factors, as well as demographics and occupational characteristics. Results: In total, 2188 respondents answered more than 50 per cent of the survey (73.3 % women). Staff from a wide range of functions responded (MD, nurses, medical-technical personnel, psychologists, pastoral care, rescue service, administration, service, research, trainees, social work). Exhaustion (d = 0.33. 95% CI: 0.24 to 0.41) and depersonalization (d = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.32 to 0.50) were higher for staff working directly with infected patients. Among no-contact staff, rescue services and service personnel had highest levels of exhaustion. Multiple regression analyses revealed that support at the workplace, self-compassion and sense of coherence reduced the risk of exhaustion, while perceived stress and risk perception predicted exhaustion for all groups. Among staff with COVID-19 contact, workplace safety additionally predicted exhaustion. Conclusion: Burnout can be a problematic consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. A supportive work environment, the availability of protective equipment, but also an organizational climate that promotes self-compassion and sense of coherence can help foster resilience against staff burnout.
