AB  - Background: The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) resulted in a 
      substantial workload and stress for frontline health professionals in high-risk 
      areas. Little research has investigated the mechanism of occupational burnout 
      among the frontline health professionals located in the center of the epidemic in 
      Wuhan, China. Methods: A total of 199 frontline health professionals from Wuhan 
      Jinyintan Hospital completed the cross-sectional survey. Mechanisms of 
      occupational burnout (according to the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey, 
      MBI-GS) among the health professionals in Jinyintan Hospital during the COVID-19 
      outbreak were examined using a structural equation model (SEM). Results: The 
      levels of the three burnout dimensions (emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and 
      professional efficacy) were high at 34.2, 50.8, and 35.2%, respectively. 
      Frontline health professionals in this stressful period reported significantly 
      greater emotional exhaustion (p < 0.001) and job-related cynicism (p < 0.001), 
      but no significant difference in professional efficacy (p = 0.449), when compared 
      to employees in a large multinational company. The SEM results revealed that both 
      acute stress symptoms and psychosomatic symptoms significantly predicted the 
      emotional exhaustion and occupation cynicism dimensions of burnout. Conclusion: 
      The study reveals the occupational burnout mechanism of frontline health 
      professionals during the COVID-19 peak at the time of the outbreak. This study 
      provides an important contribution to understanding the future psychological 
      interventions necessary for frontline health professionals during an epidemic 
      crisis.
