Summary

The aim of this observational study is to learn how common burnout is among UK paramedics and what factors are associated with it. It also aims to explore how burnout relates to sleep quality and the intention to leave the profession. The main questions it aims to answer are:

2. How is burnout related to sleep quality?
3. What personal or job-related factors are linked to higher levels of burnout?
4. Does burnout relate to paramedics' intentions to leave the profession?

Participants completed an online survey that included:

1. Demographic questions (e.g. age, years of service, shift patterns)
2. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) to assess burnout
3. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to measure sleep quality
