Background Occupational burnout is prevalent among doctors and nurses. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of ICU doctors and nurses regarding occupational burnout. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2023 and June 2024 at the Zhejiang Medical & Health Group Hangzhou Hospital in Zhejiang Province. Demographic information and KAP scores were collected through distributed questionnaires. Occupational burnout was measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS). Results This study included 105 doctors and 165 nurses, with an average age of 32.23 ± 7.38 years. Among all the participants, 6 (2.22%) reported no occupational burnout, 230 (85.19%) experienced moderate occupational burnout, and 34 (12.59%) reported severe occupational burnout. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 9.64 ± 4.21 (possible range: 0–18), 29.01 ± 3.15 (possible range: 7–35), and 16.96 ± 4.29 (possible range: 6–30), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that a higher knowledge score was independently associated with more proactive practice (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: [1.18, 1.50], p < 0.001). Structural equation modeling showed that knowledge positively influenced both ( β = 0.33, p < 0.001) and practice (β = 0.37, p < 0.001), while practice negatively impacted the MBI-GS (β = −0.92, p < 0.001). Conclusion Most ICU doctors and nurses exhibited moderate occupationa...
