This study looked at burnout among auxiliary nurse midwives (ANMs) in rural West Bengal. Nearly half of the 214 ANMs surveyed showed signs of burnout, mainly due to personal strain, heavy workload, and lack of support. Those with chronic illness, little physical activity, or recent negative experiences were more affected, while shorter commutes and supportive supervisors helped reduce stress. The study highlights that burnout stems from individual, workplace, and community factors, and addressing these could improve motivation and job satisfaction among ANMs.
