Abstract
This study aims to predict and analyze burnout among healthcare workers using supervised machine learning techniques and Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA). Leveraging the Healthcare Workforce Mental Health Dataset, the research identifies key demographic, occupational, and psychological factors most strongly associated with burnout. The methodology involves data preprocessing, feature selection, and model training using algorithms such as logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, and gradient boosting. Model performance will be evaluated through standard metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, and ROC-AUC. The expected outcome is a predictive framework that highlights high-impact burnout predictors and generates actionable insights to support early intervention and prevention strategies, thereby enhancing the overall well-being and resilience of the healthcare workforce.
