OBJECTIVE:To evaluate professional achievement and factors associated with occupational burnout among health professionals.METHODS:An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 436 healthcare providers, consisting of 101 nurses, 81 doctors and 254 nursing technicians, all meeting pre-established inclusion criteria. Occupational burnout was detected using the Maslach occupational burnout inventory tool. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires comprising questions concerning socio-demographics, education and training, and the Maslach occupational burnout inventory was used to identify levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and professional achievement.RESULTS:Emotional exhaustion was associated with education level and work place for nursing technicians. Depersonalization was associated with gender in nursing technicians. For nurses, depersonalization showed a significant association with education level, whereas this factor was associated with number of jobs for doctors. Lower levels of professional achievement were observed for unspecialized doctors compared to those with further training. Higher levels of professional achievement were associated with professionals with postgraduate training compared to those without.CONCLUSIONS:High levels of emotional exhaustion were found in professionals from the maternity unit as well as in professionals with lower educational levels. Depersonalization was higher in physicians with several jobs and in female nurses. Low professional achievement was found in unspecialized doctors, while high professional achievement was associated with postgraduate training.

“…Between 26.74% and 55% Spanish nursing professionals show emotional exhaustion. In Belgium, Vander et al [24], using a sample of 675 health care nursing homes found a 12.7% level of prevalence. In the United States, Aiken et al [25], on a sample of 10,000 nurses at hospitals in Pennsylvania concluded that 43% were emotionally exhausted.…”

ObjectiveThis study aimed to identify potentially important factors in explaining burnout in nursing that have been insufficiently studied or ignored.MethodsA three-round Delphi study via e-mail correspondence was conducted, with a group of 40 European experts. The e-Delphi questionnaire consisted of 52 factors identified from a literature review. Experts rated and scored the importance of factors in the occurrence of burnout and the degree of attention given by researchers to each of the variables listed, on a six-point Likert scale. We used the agreement percentage (>80%) to measure the level of consensus between experts. Furthermore, to confirm the level of consensus, we also calculated mean scores and modes. Regardless of the degree of consensus reached by the experts, we have calculated the mean of the stability of the answers for each expert (individual's qualitative stability) and the mean of the stability percentages of the experts (qualitative group stability).ResultsThe response rate in the three rounds was 93.02% (n = 40). Eight new factors were suggested in the first round. After modified, the e-Delphi questionnaire in the second and third rounds had 60 factors. All the factors reached the third round with a consensus level above 80% in terms of the attention that researchers gave them in their studies. Moreover, the data show a total mean qualitative group stability of 96.21%. In the third round 9 factors were classified by experts as ‘studied very little’, 17 as ‘studied little’ and 34 as 'well studied'ConclusionFindings show that not all the factors that may influence nursing burnout have received the same attention from researchers. The panel of experts has identified factors that, although important in explaining burnout, have been poorly studied or even forgotten. Our results suggest that further study into factors such as a lack of recognition of part of the tasks that nurses perform, feminine stereotype or excessive bureaucracy is needed for a better understanding of this syndrome and improve the quality of life in nurses.

“…Modern yaşamın mesleki alanı içinde uzun süredir büyük bir sorun olarak kabul edilmiştir ve son on yılda çok daha yaygın hale gelmiştir. 2 Bu fenomen, sağlık hizmet sunucularında yalnızca işin doğası nedeniyle değil, aynı zamanda yüksek görülme oranı nedeniyle de özel bir öneme sahiptir. Sağlık profesyonellerinde bu sendrom uzun süredir yaygın olmasına rağmen, çalışmalar sadece neden-sonuç ilişkilerini ve önleyici önlemleri değerlendirmek için yapılmıştır.…”
