The age of the participating healthcare providers in the study ranged from 21 to 63 years with an average of 32 years \(\pm\) 7 years. Female healthcare providers compromised 73% (655) of the participants and 231 (26.1%) were men. Married healthcare providers accounted for 381 (43.7%), while, 477 (54.7%) were single, and 14 (1.6%) were divorced. The sociodemographic characteristics of the participating healthcare providers are summarized in Table 1. The healthcare providers were recruited from six private hospitals in Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. The vast majority of the participating healthcare providers were nurses 616 (69.8%), physicians 115 (12.8%), and only 18 (2%) were respiratory therapists, while, 134 (15.2%) of the total sample were other healthcare providers. \begin{table}

Table 1: Sociodemographic characteristics of participants (n = 892). As indicated in Table 1, healthcare providers who participated in the current study were mainly non-Saudi 770 (90.2%) and Saudi compromised 84 (9.8%). Of the total, 406 (45.2%) participants revealed that they had work experience between one to five years, 338 (37.6%) six to ten years of working experience, and 130 (14.5%) had 11 or more years of clinical experience. Table 2 shows the results of the burnout dimensions among participating healthcare providers. Healthcare providers were at a high level of emotional exhaustion with 34.33 \(\pm\) 11.87. With regards to personal accomplishment, the data analysis showed that healthcare providers had a high level of reduced personal accomplishment including beliefs of competence and successful achievement at work 32.67 \(\pm\) 8.01. Participants also experienced high levels of depersonalization 12.92 \(\pm\) 7.03. A correlation analysis between burnout dimensions among the participating healthcare providers was computed. The results demonstrated that there was a weak correlation between personal accomplishment and emotional exhaustion (\(p\leq\) 0.0001, r = 0.20). A strong correlation was detected between emotional exhaustion and depersonalization (\(p\leq\) 0.0001, r = 0.66) among healthcare providers. Analysis also revealed that there was a weak correlation between personal accomplishment and depersonalization dimension (\(p\leq\) 0.0001, r = 0.23) as shown in Table 3.  
Inferential statistics were used to detect the relationship between sample demographics and burnout utilizing parametric and nonparametric methods. Inferential analysis showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the scores of emotional exhaustion dimension for male 31.73 (13.41) and female participants 35.28 (11.11), \(t\) (855) = 3.85, \(p\leq\) 0.0001. The participating female healthcare providers had a higher level of emotional exhaustion than that of their male colleagues. There also was a statistically significant difference in the scores of emotional exhaustion for Saudi 31.30 (12.77) and non-Saudi 34.53 (11.70), \(t\) (824) = 5.98, \(p=0.01\).
