Abstract

titled "Burnout Syndrome Predictors in Nursing Professionals During and After the COVID-19 Pandemic," published in the Journal of Clinical Nursing.The study used a multicenter design and multivariable regression analysis to examine the long-term impact of the pandemic on nursing professionals.However, we want to point out a fundamental flaw in the core data analysis methodology.This flaw directly calls into question its primary conclusion that burnout prevalence remained stable, which may be a statistical artefact rather than a reflection of reality.
