“…The PSS-10 was developed by Cohen et al 12 to measure the degree to which individuals perceive their life as stressful and has been widely used in the literature. 10,[12][13][14] The questions are general in nature and not specific to any population group. The questions ask how often respondents felt or thought a certain way during the last month.…”

Objective. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate perceived stress among PGY1 pharmacy residents. The secondary objective was to examine relationships between perceived stress and certain demographic variables. Main stressors during residency training and coping mechanisms used were also determined. Methods.A link to a web-based survey was sent to 1128 pharmacy residency program directors who were asked to forward it to current PGY1 residents in their programs. The 22-item questionnaire included the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), demographic information, number of working/sleeping hours, and major stressors and coping mechanisms. Statistical analyses were completed using SPSS v. 23. Results.A total of 505 responses from PGY1 residents of community pharmacy, managed care, and pharmacy practice residency programs across the U.S were collected. Females (70.3%) reported higher PSS-10 scores than males (p=0.016). Perceived stress scores were similar across age groups. Single residents (71.5%) and married residents exhibited similar PSS-10 scores (p=0.911). Residents with children had higher stress score compared to the residents without (p=0.022). Perceived stress scores were similar across types of PGY1 residency programs (p=0.16). A higher number of working hours was associated with a higher PSS-10 score (p=0.000). Time pressures, work overload, and fear of error were Conclusion.Female gender, having children, working longer working hours, and desire to change residency program were associated with higher PSS-10 scores. The majority of participants associated perceived stress with activities related to residency training and report the use of positive coping strategies to deal with stress.

“…Burnout risk is high in medical education with rates of 40% and 76% reported in medical students and residents, respectively . Although burnout has not been formally assessed in pharmacy residents, they have been shown to have higher perceived stress scores (17.6‐19 out of 40 points) when compared with a general population of similar age (12‐14 out of 40 points) . The authors of these studies likened these scores to those of other health care students and residents who experience high rates of burnout.…”

Burnout is a growing concern across health care disciplines. Burnout is a prolonged response to persistent work-related stressors and includes elements of exhaustion, depersonalization, and perceived ineffectiveness. The body of literature exploring the causes and consequences of burnout has grown substantially. Rates of burnout in clinical pharmacists are similar to those reported for other health care professionals.However, many aspects of burnout have not been adequately characterized in clinical pharmacists. This manuscript outlines key findings from the literature on burnout in other health care disciplines and establishes relevant connections to clinical pharmacy. Burnout has negative consequences related to personal well-being and is linked to stress-related health outcomes. Burnout is associated with increased job turnover, decreased productivity, and quality concerns, including both patient safety and satisfaction. A variety of factors contribute to the development of burnout, including provider characteristics, practice specialization, type and quantity of work expectations, work environment, social and organizational support, and reward. Interventions that focus on individual providers have been shown to modestly improve burnout. Interventions that emphasize organizational change may have a more significant impact, and several groups have outlined organization-focused strategies to improve well-being in the workplace. Such strategies include enhancing communication, promoting true collaboration and community, addressing staffing shortages, empowering employee decision-making, and developing and promoting institutional values. Best practices for improving well-being within an organization include a multidisciplinary, multimodal approach that is supported by both resources and leadership engagement.
