Burnout syndrome, doctor-patient relationship and family support of pediatric medical staff during a COVID-19 Local outbreak in Shanghai China: A cross-sectional survey study

Abstract

ObjectivesTo explore burnout syndrome (BOS) incidence, doctor-patient relationship, and family support on pediatric medical staff in Shanghai comprehensive hospitals during a COVID-19 local outbreak.MethodsA cross-sectional survey of pediatric medical staff from 7 comprehensive hospitals across Shanghai was conducted from March to July 2022. The survey included BOS, doctor-patient relationships, family support, and the related factors of COVID-19. The T-test, variance, the LSD-t test, Pearson's r correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analyses examined the data.ResultsUsing Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), 81.67% of pediatric medical staff had moderate BOS, and 13.75% were severe. The difficult doctor-patient relationship was positively correlated with emotional exhaustion(EE), cynicism(Cy), and negatively with personal accomplishment(PA). When medical staff need help, the greater the support provided by the family, the lower the EE and CY, and the higher the PA.Conclusion“In our study, the pediatric medical staff in Shanghai comprehensive hospitals had significant BOS during a COVID-19 local outbreak.” We provided the potential steps that can be taken to reduce the increasing rate of BOS in pandemics. These measures include increased job satisfaction, psychological support, maintaining good health, increased salary, lower intent to leave the profession, regularly carrying out COVID-19 prevention training, improving doctor-patient relations, and strengthening family support.

Impact Analysis of COVID-19 Pandemic on Hospital Reviews on Dianping Website in Shanghai, China: Empirical Study

“…Analyzing the timing, research indicates that the formation of the 2 peaks of the M-shaped pattern correlates with the outbreak in Shanghai in the first half of 2022 and the subsequent comprehensive relaxation of COVID-19 control measures in China toward the end of 2022. We have observed that these 2 incidents have caused varying degrees of strain on medical resources [ 40 ], while simultaneously leading to higher comment scores from patients toward hospitals. This finding aligns with previous research in this area [ 6 , 31 - 33 ].…”

“…At present, there is no targeted antiviral medication that is advised for the treatment of COVID-19, a condition that has the potential to result in acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and fatality. The combined efforts of traditional medicines and conventional treatments have demonstrated a noteworthy reduction in mortality rates, a shortened duration of fever, a decrease in chest radiograph abnormalities, and relief from secondary fungal infections in patients undergoing glucocorticoid therapy for severe acute respiratory illnesses [1,2]. With these functions, the consumption of herbs and natural products increased significantly on a global level [3].…”
