“…The model was used to explore the relationships between emotional labour, workplace violence and burnout and particularly suggests that emotional labour influences burnout through its effect on workplace violence. In previous studies related to burnout, greater emotional labour (Cheng et al, 2013;Edward et al, 2017) and workplace violence experience (Chen et al, 2016;Choi & Lee, 2017;Erdur et al, 2015;Waschgler et al, 2012;Yoon & Sok, 2016;Zafar et al, 2015) were found to be associated with higher burnout. Although the focus was not on nurses, previous research has found that there was an association between the study of hotel workers and the relationship between language violence and emotional labour (Jung, Kim, & Lee, 2015).…”

“…This is supported by results from a Turkish study that showed a statistically signi cant relationship between burnout and violence experienced by EPs working in the EDs. 56 Our current study had a relatively good sample size and response rate, and it is among the few attempts to use the CBI to measure burnout in EPs, and to add the SOS-S as an additional stress measuring tool for construct validity purposes. We aimed to compare our data with the local GCC countries and international literature.…”

Background: Emergency physicians (EPs) are exposed to various stressors that lead to burnout, and these factors have never been examined in the emergency departments (EDs) of the Kingdom of Bahrain. The study identifies the prevalence rates and associated variables for burnout and stress among EPs in Bahrain’s EDs.Methods: A cross sectional study involving 134 EPs working in the ED for the three major tertiary hospitals completed the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) and Stress Overload Scale-Short Form (SOS-S).Results: The survey had a response rate of 86.7% (n=116). The prevalence rate was 81.0% for personal burnout (M: 63.0, SD: 22.4; CI: 67.0% - 83.3%), 69.8% for work-related burnout (M: 60.3, SD: 21.6; CI: 60.6%- 78.0%), and 40.5% for patient-related burnout (M: 43.1, SD: 25.4; CI: 31.5% - 50.0%). Approximately 23.9% EPs were at high risk for illness. The CBI and SOS-S subscales had statistically significant correlations, illustrating that higher personal, work-related, and patient-related burnout was associated with higher personal vulnerability, event load, and stress overload. Being female, Bahraini, Chief Resident or Consultant, working >50 hours per week, taking at least one sick leave in the last year, and experiencing sleep disturbances and workplace violence were all contributing factors to higher burnout and stress levels. Conclusion: The prevalence of burnout and stress among the EPs in Bahrain is high and reflects a significant problem. Several demographic and occupational factors are closely related to burnout and stress, and need to be addressed to higher authorities in order to implement protective measures.

Objective: Physicians are exposed to various emotional and physical stressors in their working environment. Emergency departments are particularly stressful working environments. This study aimed to determine the frequency of anxiety among emergency physicians (EP) and other medical specialists. Methods: This cross-sectional survey included voluntarily participated physicians working in hospitals in Turkey. Physicians were grouped based on their Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) scores and their characteristics were compared. The frequency of anxiety and other characteristics of the physicians were investigated. Results: A total of 508 medical specialists (male 71.9%; mean age 37.5±7.2 years) included in the analysis, 97 (19,1%) were EP and 411 (80.9%) were from other medical specialties. The mean Beck Anxiety Inventory Score of the specialists from other clinics was 9.6±7.7 points. The frequencies of moderate, and severe anxiety among medical specialists were 13.8%, and 2.8%, respectively. The overall frequency of moderate-severe anxiety was 16.5%; which was higher in emergency physicians than in other clinical specialists (33% and 12.7%, respectively). The mean Beck Anxiety Inventory scores of EP and other medical specialists were found as 13±9.3 and 8.7±7.0, respectively (p<0.001). Anxiety score showed a negative correlation with age and duration of working as a specialist.Among emergency physicians, the rates of smoking (p=0.008), alcohol consumption (p=0.003) and anxiety scores were higher and the duration of working as a specialist was shorter (p<0.001). Conclusions: Frequency of anxiety is higher among physicians. Considering medical specialties, higher level of anxiety determined in the emergency physicians might be a guide for investigation of working conditions in this field and for development of protective and preventive policies.
