“…As the data of the study was collected through Facebook, this might have caused this discrepancy, and it should be taken into consideration. The results of our research coincided with the results of the majority of research by foreign authors; greater burnout was noticed among the employees younger than 40 years old (23,(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34). However, the results of one research show that burnout becomes more severe as the age increases (24).…”

“…Our research did not notice a statistically significant link between the healthcare chain (outpatient or inpatient) and burnout, although the results of foreign researchers show that specialists working in the inpatient care chain tend to suffer from a more severe burnout and have the lowest resilience score (29)(30). Such differences could be caused by dissimilarities in the existing job specifics for inpatient and outpatient care chains in different countries, where the job in the inpatient care chain is more stressogenic.…”

Objective. Measure the prevalence of burnout syndrome (BOS) among the healthcare workers (HCW) in Lithuania and the factors influencing it. The respondents were asked to fill out an anonymous online questionnaire which included information on their gender, age, years of work experience, specialty, work hours per week, the average number of patients per day, salary, healthcare chain, and the healthcare sector they are working at. BOS was assessed by using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI).Results. A total of 2 806 questionnaires were used in the final analysis. A high prevalence of BOS among the MS in Lithuania was noticed (74% of all respondents), which is more severe in comparison to foreign research. The most significant link with severe BOS was noticed among a high number of patients per day (22.69±14.96 versus 17.77±13.32, t=4.92), a large number of work hours per week (48.89±12.96 versus 46.34±10.77, t=2.54), and a younger age (59.27±14.06 versus 55.73±13.91, t=3.53). Doctors had the highest BOS score compared to nurses, residents, and other specialists (59.72±13.99 versus 57.33±14.13, t=2.4; 57.53±14.20, t=2.2; 54.06±15.22, t=5.67, respectively). No links between gender, years of work experience, salary, healthcare chain, healthcare sector, and BOS were observed.Conclusions. BOS is highly prevalent among Lithuania’s medical staff, and it is more prevalent than in most other EU and non-EU countries. A high number of patients per day, a large number of work hours per week, and a younger age were significantly linked with more severe BOS.

“…The integrated model of Carlson et al [ 22 ] identified different types of work-life conflict: time-based (arising from lack of time), stress-based (arising from role-mismatch stress), and behavioural-based (arising from different behavioural expectations). These studies showed that difficulties arising from the need to coordinate work and family life have an impact on job satisfaction [ 23 ], and physical and mental health [ 24 , 25 ] Several studies add that WLB impacts vital exhaustion, depression, and burnout [ 26 – 28 ]. There is a significant negative correlation between WLB and the emotional exhaustion (EE) and the depersonalisation (DP) subscale of burnout [ 29 ].…”

Background Besides the positive effects of using digital health solutions, digitalization can affect the healthcare worker burnout. The ability to coordinate different aspects of life (WLB) also plays a significant role in the development of burnout among medical workers. The aim of our study is to show, through qualitative interviews, the impact of digitalization on work-life balance in Hungarian physicians. Methods 62 semi-structured interviews were conducted between October 2021 and June 2022, of which, a total of 31 interviews were used for the analysis, which were all related to the theme of work-life balance. Purposive sampling and inductive thematic approach were used to collect and analyse the data and identify patterns of the themes. Results Based on this analysis, 5 main themes emerged: (1) the use of digital health tools, (2) Impact of digital tools on everyday work, (3) Work-life balance, (4) Setting and maintaining work-life boundaries, (5) Potential solutions. With the spread of digital communication, most of the respondents feel that their working hours increased even at the expense of their private life. The majority considers constant availability as a serious problem, however, several physicians indicated that as a result of a learning curve, they are able to change and set the necessary boundaries. Respondents were divided on whether or not they were successful in setting and maintaining boundaries. The 2 most important factors of establishing WLB in a digital age are self-consciousness and communication. However, these skills are not self-evident: the responses also show that in many cases there is a need for external support, but also for health professionals to actively reflect from time to time on their role as healers and their relationship with technology. Conclusion Basic principles and tools for establishing successful digital work-life balance in healthcare should be involved in the training curriculum of future physicians and healthcare professionals, while institutions should elaborate specific policies to include digital work-life balance in the institutional setting, as part of the preventive measures against burnout.

“…Numerous researchers have emphasized the importance of recognizing physician satisfaction as a relevant problem for healthcare service delivery. Dissatisfaction of physicians highly affects them as it has been linked with burnout [3], self-reported psychiatric symptoms, poorer perceived mental health [4,5], and intention to leave the practice [6]. There is also evidence that the level of physician satisfaction may influence the quality of healthcare services [5,7,8].…”

Physician satisfaction is a multidimensional concept associated with numerous factors. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the satisfaction of physicians practicing in hospitals in Poland and to identify factors associated with higher levels of satisfaction. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey of Polish hospitals was conducted between March and June 2018. All doctors working in the hospitals invited to the study were asked to fill in an online survey. Fifteen hospitals were included: seven general, five specialist, and three university ones. The total number of questionnaires analyzed was 1003. The questionnaire included 17 items to measure the level of satisfaction, classified into four dimensions: personal, professional, performance, and inherent. The statistical analyses included: assessment of association between levels of career satisfaction and basic demographic and work-related variables; and multivariable logistic regressions, conducted to determine which variables were associated with higher levels of career satisfaction. The mean level of career satisfaction, on a scale from 1 to 6, was 4.1 (SD = 0.69). Respondents reported high levels of inherent satisfaction: mean = 4.4 (SD = 0.66) and a low personal satisfaction: mean = 3.78 (SD = 0.98). 56.6% of respondents reported being satisfied, but only 8.2% reported a higher level of satisfaction (≥5). The satisfaction of Polish physicians is moderate. Gender, numbers of working hours/week, years of work experience, type of hospital, and stage of professional development were the identified factors associated with higher levels of career satisfaction.
