There is a lack of definitive evidence to guide the management of stress and burnout in medical professions in general and in anaesthesiology in particular. Longitudinal and interventional studies are needed to better determine ways of action. In the meantime, creating a positive work climate and institutional support as well as promoting control over one's job and the autonomy of employees are the most recommended strategies. Workers should also learn how to cope with stressors and practice personal strategies of wellness and resilience to fight against burnout.

“…The burnout syndrome can be described as “a spectrum of disorders of emotional as well as physical origins, where primarily, the occupation-related stress can be blamed as the commonest reason.” It is commonly seen in professions where the individual professionals face a high level of constant requirement and intervention with people with physical and emotional needs. [ 4 9 10 ] Anesthesiology, by the virtue of its all-encompassing existence in the medical field and being the specialty where, ranging from the patient/patient’s relatives, paramedical staff to multiple surgical specialists/superspecialists, a whole range of variety of individuals have to be catered to, has the propensity of being a high-stress profession and thus has increased chances of burnout.

Anesthesiology, as an occupation, has its own unique sets of challenges, problems, issues, and circumstances, all leading to “occupational stress,” which by now should be unequivocally accepted as a well-established fact. It is futile to continue pursuing research questions like, if there “really” is stress existing among practicing anesthesiologists/trainees, by conducting questionnaire-based surveys and doing meta-analyses. A significantly high incidence of existence of occupational stress in anesthesiologists is an undisputable and practical reality, which, when longstanding, gets culminated into “burnout syndrome” with its disastrous outcomes. Rather than pursuing the often-trodden path of finding the incidence, sources, and other superficial issues, an in-depth study of available literary evidence in relation to burnout has been carried out. Objectifying it as a “syndrome,” its etiopathogenesis, pathophysiology inclusive of the prevalent theories of its causality, typology, and progression into various stages of/continuum of the process as an evolving clinical entity have been described. The preventive measures and “coping strategies” have been discussed at length in the end. It is the fervent hope and the desire of the authors that this discourse will sensitize all anesthesiologists, especially the younger and upcoming future generation, and help them avoid becoming a prey to this dreadful entity!

Background and objective: The WHO has included burnout as an occupational phenomenon in the ICD-11. According to the WHO, burnout is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. The study aimed to evaluate the influence of feelings of guilt and burnout on health in Polish anesthesiologists. Alcohol and tobacco intake, psychosomatic disorders, and depression were assessed. Methods: The study had a non–randomized cross-sectional character. The sample consisted of 372 Polish anesthesiologists. Burnout was measured by the Spanish burnout inventory. Results: Post hoc analysis for burnout consequences: depression (F(5,366) = 17.51, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.193), psychosomatic disorders (F(5,366) = 13.11, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.152), and tobacco intake (F(5,366) = 6.23, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.078), showed significant differences between burnout with and without the highest levels of feelings of guilt. All the instruments applied were reliable. Conclusions: Depression, psychosomatic disorders, and alcohol and tobacco intake are suspected to be consequences of the highest guilt levels related to burnout, i.e., Profile 2 according to the burnout model of Gil-Monte. Participation in prevention programs is recommended for these cases.
