The data were collected using standardized questionnaires including Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) and Connor-Davidson resilience questionnaires. Results. We studied 173 healthcare providers. Our study demonstrated that burnout was highly prevalent in ED workers and it is more common in female compared to male workers.
