Background and Objectives: Due to the increasing prevalence of the COVID-19 disease, high hospitalization rates, and rising job-related stress among healthcare workers, the need to identify the prevalence of job burnout and its influencing factors has increased. To investigate job burnout among the healthcare professionals in the context of COVID-19.   Methods: This cross-sectional study included 200 healthcare professionals from Afzali Pour Kerman Hospital. Data collection tools consisted of a demographic questionnaire and standardized measures of job burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory) and anxiety and depression (Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventories). Statistical tests such as t-tests, analysis of variance, and SPSS 20 software were used for data analysis.   Results: The highest frequency was observed among nurses and the infection department. The mean score of job burnout was 3.78, which was higher than the average threshold, and 36% of participants experienced job burnout. The highest mean score belonged to the personal performance dimension (4.67), while the lowest mean score was related to depersonalization (3.16). The average anxiety level among healthcare professionals was 34.17, and the average stress level was 33.09. Significant direct correlations were found between burnout and age (r=0.78, P=0.03), working hours (r=0.64, P=0.043), and years of service (r=0.76, P=0.02). Moreover, significant direct correlations were observed between burnout and anxiety (r=0.60, P=0.001) and depression (r=0.95, p=0.001).   Conclusion: The findings demonstrate that the prevalence of COVID-19 can contribute to healthcare professionals' job burnout. Therefore, implementing control measures and psychological interventions to improve mental and physical well-being is vital.
