Recent studies provide an alarming view on the prevalence of burnout that has increased markedly worldview. However, the study on burnout is still limited in Malaysia. Since no such research has been done in Kuantan, Pahang, this study seeks to close the gap regarding the burnout syndrome. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence and level of burnout among critical care nurses in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA), Kuantan. Besides, this study also investigated the association between socio-demographic characteristics and burnout levels among critical care nurses and the correlation between burnout element and burnout level. A cross-sectional study was done on 118 nurses in the critical care area. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used in this study. There was no significant difference between socio-demographic data and the levels of burnout. 64.4% of respondents scored high on emotional exhaustion, while most of the respondents (72.9%) had high levels of depersonalization and 37.3% of the respondents reported high levels of personal accomplishment score. The result shows that nurses scored high on emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and, surprisingly, scored high on personal accomplishment. Even in the presence of high emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, critical care nurses still maintain high personal accomplishment. This suggests that, overall, despite of having high levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, critical care nurses in HTAA can maintain a positive evaluation of their own accomplishment (PA)
