• Abstract:

  Burnout Has Become A Critical Concern Among Healthcare Professionals, Particularly Community Pharmacists Who Are Exposed To Continuous Occupational Stressors Such As Heavy Workload, Long Working Hours, Administrative Responsibilities, And Frequent Patient Interactions. These Stressors Contribute To Psychological Burnout, Characterized By Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, And Reduced Personal Accomplishment. The Present Study Aimed To Examine The Relationship Between Family Cohesion And Burnout Among Community Pharmacists. A Quantitative Correlational Research Design Was Employed, With A Sample Of 150 Community Pharmacists Selected Using Purposive Sampling. Data Were Collected Using The Family Adaptability And Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES IV) And The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Pearson’s Correlation Were Used For Data Analysis. The Findings Revealed A Statistically Significant Negative Correlation Between Family Cohesion And Burnout (r = -0.438, P < 0.01), Indicating That Higher Levels Of Family Cohesion Are Associated With Lower Levels Of Burnout. The Study Highlights The Importance Of Family Support As A Protective Factor In Reducing Occupational Stress And Promoting Psychological Well-being Among Pharmacists. These Findings Suggest The Need For Holistic Interventions That Incorporate Both Workplace And Family-based Support Systems.
