Burnout and mental health issues are common among healthcare workers. Burnout and mental ill-health may also adversely affect quality of life (QOL). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of burnout, mental ill-health, and QOL among employees of Hospital Bentong in Pahang state, Malaysia. This was a 2-week, cross-sectional online survey for Hospital Bentong employees. It consisted of (i) sociodemographic data, (ii) respondents' perceptions, (iii) Malay-version Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), (iv) 21-item Depression, Anxiety and Stress scale (DASS-21), and (v) WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) instrument. In total, 52.4% of hospital employees (N = 251) participated in the study. The burnout rates were 17.5% (personal burnout), 13.9% (work burnout), and 6.0% (client burnout). The prevalence rates of depression, anxiety, and stress were 18.7, 38.6, and 12.0%, respectively. In multivariate regression analysis, personal burnout was associated with Malay ethnicity [odds ratio (OR) = 4.54, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.41-18.17], management and professional position (OR = 3.89, 95% CI = 1.34-11.29), and having financial problem (OR = 3.29, 95% CI = 1.53-7.06). Work burnout was associated with management and professional position (OR = 7.26, 95% CI = 1.84-28.59), having problem with colleagues (OR = 2.85, 95% CI = 1.08-7.50), and having financial problem (OR = 4.41, 95% CI = 1.82-10.72), while age (OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.00-1.25) and male gender (OR = 7.14, 95% CI = 2.00-25.55) were significant factors for client burnout. There were moderate-to-strong correlations between CBI, DASS-21, and WHOQOL-BREF scores (P values
