Burnout among dutch medical residents

The aim of our study was to examine whether the participation in Balint group is associated with the reducing burnout syndrome among primary health care doctors. This investigation was conducted on a population of 210 doctors employed in primary health centers in Belgrade. Out of 210 doctors, 70 have completed Balint training for a period of at least 1 year, whereas 140 doctors have never attended this training (the Non-Balint group). The level of burnout among physicians was assessed with the Serbian translation of the original 22-item version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory – Human Services Survey which defines burnout in relation to emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment. We found that 45.0% of the Non-Balint participants and 7.1% of the Balint-trained participants responded with symptoms of high level of emotional exhaustion, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). In relation to depersonalization, 20% of the Non-Balint subjects were highly depersonalized compared to 4.4% of the Balint-trained subjects, with a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). Regarding the personal accomplishment, 21.4% of the Non-Balint subjects and 7.1% of the Balint-trained subjects had a perception of low personal accomplishment, with a statistical significance (p < 0.001). In the multiple ordinal logistic model, with emotional exhaustion as a dependent variable, statistically significant predictor was female gender (OR = 2.51; p = 0.021), while Balint training was obtained as a protective factor (OR = 0.12; p < 0.001). Non-specialists were detected as a risk factor for depersonalization (OR = 2.14; p = 0.026) while Balint group was found as a protective factor (OR = 0.10; p < 0.001), according to the multiple ordinal logistic regression analysis.Regarding the reduced personal accomplishment, our results indicated that nonspecialists were at risk for this subdimension (OR = 2.09; p = 0.025), whereas Balint participants were protected (OR = 0.18; p < 0.001). Participation in Balint groups is associated with the reduced burnout syndrome among primary health care doctors

ObjectivesTo determine the incidence of 'burnout' among UK and Irish urological consultants and non-consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs). The second objective was to identify possible causative factors and to investigate the impact of various vocational stressors that urologists face in their day-to-day work and to establish whether these correlate with burnout. The third objective was to develop a new questionnaire to complement the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), more specific to urologists as distinct from other surgical/medical specialties, and to use this in addition to the MBI to determine if there is a requirement to develop effective preventative measures for stress in the work place, and develop targeted remedial measures when individuals are affected by burnout. Subjects and methodsA joint collaboration was carried out between the Irish Society of Urology (ISU) and the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS). Anonymous voluntary questionnaires were sent to all current registered members of both governing bodies. The questionnaire comprised two parts: the first part encompassed sociodemographic data collection and identifying potential risk factors for burnout, and the second used the MBI to objectively assess for workplace burnout. To evaluate differences in burnout, 2 9 2 contingency tables and Fischer's exact probability tests were used. ResultsIn all, 575 urologists responded to the online survey out of a total of 1380 invites, yielding a 42% response rate. All respondents were aged <75 years (median age 45 years), with men representing 87.5% of respondents. In all, 75% of respondents worked in England, followed by the Republic of Ireland (9%), Scotland (8%), Northern Ireland (4%), and Wales (3%). In all, 79% of respondents were consultants, with 13% representing training posts, and 40% of respondents held a professorship/clinical lead position. Respondents' countries of origin included England, Scotland, Ireland, India, Wales, Malaysia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Overall, the mean emotion exhaustion (EE) score was 23.5, representing a moderate level of EE. The mean depersonalisation (DP) score was 8.2, representing a moderate level of DP. The mean personal achievement (PA) score was 17.1, representing high levels of PA. In all, 86 respondents (15%) reported self-medication with non-prescription drugs or alcohol to combat signs and symptoms of burnout, while 46 (8%) sought professional help for symptoms of burnout. In all, 460 respondents (80%) felt that burnout should be evaluated amongst members of the ISU/BAUS, and 345 (60%) would avail of counselling if provided. ConclusionsThis is the first study to address the issue of burnout across two separate health systems in the UK and Ireland. This study has shown previously undescribed high levels of burnout characterised by EE and DP, with associated significant levels of self-medication amongst a malepredominant cohort. Burnout was attributed to non-surgical administrative/institutional factors, with most respondents reporting support for staf...

“…Martini and colleagues compared US trainees from eight different specialties and with a sample of 15 psychiatric trainees found that 40% met criteria for burnout, while the rate was 50% for the whole sample (17). Several other studies included rather small subsamples of psychiatric trainees that were merged with trainees from other specialities, without reporting burnout rates or risk factors specifically for psychiatric trainees (18)(19)(20)(21).…”

BackgroundPostgraduate medical trainees experience high rates of burnout, but evidence regarding psychiatric trainees is missing. We aim to determine burnout rates among psychiatric trainees, and identify individual, educational and work-related factors associated with severe burnout. MethodsIn an online survey psychiatric trainees from 22 countries were asked to complete the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-GS) and provide information on individual, educational and work-related parameters. Linear mixed models were used to predict the MBI-GS scores, and a generalized linear mixed model to predict severe burnout. ResultsThis is the largest study on burnout and training conditions among psychiatric trainees to date. Complete data were obtained from 1980 out of 7625 approached trainees (26%; range 17.8 -65.6%). Participants were 31.9 (SD 5.3) years old with 2.8 (SD 1.9) years of training. Severe burnout was found in 726 (36.7%) trainees. The risk was higher for trainees who were younger (p<0.001), without children (p=0.010), and had not opted for psychiatry as a first career choice (p=0.043). After adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, years in training and country differences in burnout, severe burnout remained associated with long working hours (p<0.001), lack of supervision (p<0.001), and not having regular time to rest (p=0.001). Main findings were replicated in a sensitivity analysis with countries with response rate above 50%. Conclusions 4Besides previously described risk factors such as working hours and younger age, this is the first evidence of negative influence of lack of supervision and not opting for psychiatry as a first career choice on trainees' burnout.
