“…According to the researchers such as Shan, the proportion of sudden death of anesthesiologists in China is the highest, reaching 26% ( 30 ). As for the reasons of excessive workload, worry about medical litigation, sleep deprivation, and interpersonal relationship processing, anesthesiologists will often be in a certain degree of physiological or psychological disease states ( 31 ), and anesthesiologists in a sick state will naturally feel the job stress increase at work. Therefore, the healthy body and mind of an anesthesiologist are the premise and guarantee of his normal work.…”

PurposeOur purpose was to assess job stress and burnout among anesthesiologists in the tertiary class A hospitals in Northwest China, analyze the possible causes and adverse consequences of increased job stress and burnout of anesthesiologists in this region, and put forward suggestions in combination with the current national policies.MethodsWe sent 500 electronic questionnaires to all anesthesiologists practicing in the tertiary class A hospitals in Northwest China from 1960 to 2017 on April 2020. A total of 336 (67.2%) questionnaires were returned and could be used for analysis. Burnout and job stress were assessed by using the modified Maslach Burnout Inventory—Human Services Survey and Chinese Perceived Stress Scale, respectively.ResultsFirst, as for emotional exhaustion, the situations of anesthesiologists with different working years and workloads are different with statistical significance (P < 0.05). Second, as for depersonalization, the situations of anesthesiologists with different ages, professional titles, working years, physical health status, and workload are different (P < 0.05). Third, as for personal accomplishment, the situations of anesthesiologists with different physical health status are different (P < 0.05). Finally, the regression results showed that the longer the fatigue working years and the worse the physical health of anesthesiologists in Northwest China, the more likely these two factors were to cause burnout (P < 0.05), as for job stress, there was a negative correlation between job stress and physical health status (P < 0.05).ConclusionBurnout and high job pressure are common among anesthesiologists in tertiary class A hospitals in Northwest China. We should focus on the allocation of labor intensity, pay attention to the physical and mental health of employees, establish targeted incentive mechanism, and improve the system of promotion and income rises for grassroots doctors. This may be not only conducive to the quality of medical care for patients but also conducive to the development of anesthesiology in China.Trial registrationIdentifier: ChiCTR2000031316.

Background Our purpose was to assess job stress and burnout among anaesthesiologists in The Tertiary-class A Hospital Northwest China. Objectives Analyzes the possible causes and adverse consequences of increased job stress and burnout of anaesthesiologists in this region and puts forward suggestions in combination with the current national policies. Study Design: Questionnaire survey. Setting: Data were collected in the Northwest China from February 2020 until April 2020. Methods We sent electronic questionnaires to all 1960–2017 practising anaesthesiologists of The Tertiary-class A Hospital Northwest China. Of those, 338 (67.6%) were returned and could be used for analysis. Burnout and job stress were assessed by using modified Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey and Chinese Perceived Stress Scale, respectively. Results First, as for emotional exhaustion, the situations of anaesthesiologists with different working years and workload are different with statistical significance (P < 0.05); Second, as for depersonalization, the situations of anaesthesiologists with different age, professional title, working years, physical health status and workload are different(P < 0.05); Third, as for personal accomplishment, the situations of anaesthesiologists with different physical health status are different (P < 0.05); Finally, The regression results showed that the longer the fatigue working years and the worse the physical health of anaesthesiologists in Northwest China, the more likely these two factors were to cause burnout (P < 0.05), as for job stress, there was a negative correlation between job stress and physical health status (P < 0.05). Conclusions Burnout and high job pressure are common among anaesthesiologists in The Tertiary-class A Hospital in Northwest China. We should focus on the allocation of labor intensity, pay attention to the physical and mental health of employees, establish targeted incentive mechanism, and improve the system of promotion and income rises for grassroots doctors. This may be not only conducive to the quality of medical care for patients, but also conducive to the development of anaesthesiology in China. Trial Registration: ChiCTR2000031316.

“…They detected high rates of depression, burnout, and suicidal ideation among medical students in the Middle East. The authors should be congratulated for performing a well-designed study in an important topic in graduate medical education and overall physician practice [2,3]. Additionally, the need to identify specific areas for potential interventions to prevent burnout in medical students is an innovative concept that needs to be further explored [4,5].…”
