Sunan: Brenda N. Ombane Ülke: Kenya Kurum: Department of Psychiatry, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Nairobi Oturum: 2760 - PARALLEL SHORT ORAL POSTER SESSIONS: MISCELLANEOUS - Part II Tarih: Thu, 24.09.2026 Among 124 humanitarian workers providing healthcare in two refugee camps in Kenya, 38% scored above the threshold for depression and 41% for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet only 23% had sought mental health support in the past year. The study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of depression, burnout, and PTSD among humanitarian workers providing healthcare in the Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps in Kenya. This cross-sectional, quantitative study used a population-based census approach and included 124 humanitarian healthcare workers employed by an international aid organization. Data were collected online; workers who had been in their posts for less than six months and those who did not provide consent were excluded. Assessments used the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), PCL-5, and a sociodemographic questionnaire, and descriptive statistics were used. Of the sample, 55% were women, the mean age was 33.9 years, and nurses were the largest occupational group (38%); 54% had been in their posts for less than a year, 83% worked 40 to 50 hours per week, 48% reported a heavy workload, and 48% found their work stressful, particularly because of night shifts. Overall, 38% of participants scored above the threshold for depression; within this group, symptom severity was mild in 49%, moderate in 44%, and severe in 7%. On the PCL-5, 41% scored above the threshold for PTSD. Regarding burnout, emotional exhaustion was high in 7%, moderate in 44%, and low in 49%; depersonalization was high in 23% and moderate in 77%, while personal accomplishment appeared to be preserved across the entire sample. Depression was associated with a heavy workload (p = 0.032), poor current health status (p = 0.005), and poor shift scheduling (p = 0.015); PTSD with a heavy workload (p = 0.001), inadequate supervisor support (p = 0.045), and poor shift scheduling (p = 0.045); and burnout with stressful shifts (p = 0.01), a heavy workload (p = 0.004), low levels of help-seeking behavior (p = 0.016), and female sex (p = 0.044). A heavy workload predicted all three outcomes. Despite high levels of distress, only 23% of participants had received mental health support in the past year. In conclusion, effective screening for depression, PTSD, and burnout among these workers is recommended, while the study's restriction to a single organization is noted as a limitation.
