“…Some studies show that the residency year does not have influence on DP [45,64]. It is known that exposure to criticism and violence increases DP scores [45,64]. In our study, DP score was higher in the younger ones but also higher among who have spent more years in residency.…”

Background Burnout is a work-related syndrome that can affect physicians’ performance. Empathy is one of the clinical competencies in whose formation many factors play a role. Empathy and burnout are important topics of research in medical sciences, and both are related to the communication between the patient and the physician. This study investigated the relationship between occupational burnout and empathy among medical residents. Method This cross-sectional study was conducted on 297 medical residents in Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences from January to March 2021. The data collection tools were the Jefferson Scale of Empathy (JSE) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). The reliability of the instruments was measured by calculating Cronbach’s alpha. Data were analyzed by SPSS-18, using the Pearson correlation test and linear regression models. Results The average age of the study population was 33.06 ±4.7 years, with more than half being females (57.6%) and married (51.9%). The residents’ mean scores of empathy and overall burnout were 102.87 out of 140 and 55.90 out of 132, respectively. The burnout scores showed an inverse correlation with the overall empathy scores (r = −0.123, P = 0.035), and the score of standing in the patient’s shoes (r = −0.165, P = 0.004). Linear regression test was used to detect which dimension of empathy was a better predictor for the reduction of burnout scores. Results showed that the best predictor was standing in the patient’s shoes (P = 0.014). Conclusion The findings showed a negative association between empathy and burnout among medical residents, which suggests the need for adjustment of the existing burnout management at the institutional level. Therefore, residents should be supported by managers to reduce burnout and improve their empathic behavior.

“…In our study, although the DP score was high in younger, there are studies in the literature that are compatible with our finding, as well as studies showing that age does not make a significant difference (de Wit et al, 2020; Elhadi et al, 2020; Nituica et al, 2021; Wilson et al, 2017). Studies show that the residency year does not make a difference in DP (Passos et al, 2022; Wilson et al, 2017). It is known that exposure to criticism and violence increases DP scores (Passos et al, 2022; Wilson et al, 2017).…”

“…Studies show that the residency year does not make a difference in DP (Passos et al, 2022; Wilson et al, 2017). It is known that exposure to criticism and violence increases DP scores (Passos et al, 2022; Wilson et al, 2017). In our study, the fact that the DP score was high in the younger ones but the increase in residency year was a predictor of DP may be evaluated in this context.…”

Objective: COVID-19 pandemic was anticipated to exacerbate burnout among healthcare professionals. This study aims to compare the level of burnout syndrome in medical residents before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and identify potential risk factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on medical residents from three different university hospitals in Turkey in March 2021, one year after the pandemic hit Turkey. Burnout is measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory which assesses three dimensions of it: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. Collected data were combined and compared with the data of a previous study which was held in the same hospitals in December 2019, three months before the pandemic. Results: A total of 412 medical residents from three universities participated in this study. The mean age was 27.8±2.4 and half of them were female. Compared to pre-pandemic levels, residents have a significantly decreased feeling of personal accomplishment one year after (from 20.8±5.1 to 10.9±5, p<0.001). No significant differences in emotional exhaustion (pre: 19.0±7.6 post: 18.8±7.8) and depersonalization (pre: 7.3±4.3 post: 7.2±4.4) scores were observed. Emotional exhaustion is higher in residents who are female, have more night shifts, live with someone at the risk of severe COVID-19 and experience personal problems during COVID-19. Depersonalization increases as the age, residency year, and the number of night shifts increases and it is higher in married residents. Residents of the state university hospital feel less personal accomplishment than those of foundational universities. Conclusion: Already high pre-pandemic levels of burnout and a relative decrease in demand due to social restrictions may explain not increasing emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. However, the substantial decrease in the feeling of personal accomplishment among residents is concerning. Without immediate action, it may lead to serious consequences on human resources and the quality of health care in the short to middle term.
