An interviewer-administered questionnaire including socio-demographic, occupational and contextual questions contributing to burnout. While the second one was the standardized Arabic version of Maslach Burnout Inventory(MBI). Results: The prevalence of high burnout among nurses was 86%. The most prevalent subscale was low level personal accomplishment followed by high depersonalization (DP) then emotional exhaustion (EE). Time insufficiency for family, bad work relationships, being a technical nurses and inflexibility in work scheduling were predictors of both EE and DP. Moreover, EE was significantly associated with married female nurses who experienced work-related stress. While high DP was significantly associated with older male married registered nurse who had longer working hours weekly and lack of PPE. Burnout predictors were lack of PPE (AOR=27.57; 95% CI: 3.2-30.45), presence of work-related stress (AOR=10.6; 95% CI: 2.17-25.22) and inflexibility in work scheduling (OR=3.71; 95% CI:1.07 -12.84). Conclusion and Recommendations: Most of the primary health care nurses experienced high levels of burnout during COVID-19 pandemic. Work related stress, inflexibility of scheduling, lack of PPE displayed significant prediction of burnout.
