“…The higher scores of the aforementioned fields greatly mirror those of their specialty physician counterparts, who were similarly identified as having high rates of burnout during our study period. [15][16][17] Physician data reflected that high rates of burnout were seen particularly among physicians in specialties at the front line of access to care, such as practitioners in internal medicine, family medicine, emergency medicine, and neurology. [15][16][17] The level of burnout in this study group is consistent with findings of other studies that have utilized the CBI to examine clinician burnout.…”

Background Little is known about the level of burnout among program administrators (PAs) working in graduate medical education. Objective We created a national database with baseline burnout data for PAs from residency and fellowship programs, including intention to leave their current positions. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in July 2017 to assess levels of burnout in a national cohort of PAs, who were largely members of online specialty forums. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) was used to measure burnout. Univariate analysis produced descriptive statistics for CBI. We performed a 2-sample t test to measure differences in average burnout scores for those who had thoughts of resigning from their positions and those who had not. Results Of the approximately 10 205 national PAs, we sampled 1126 (11%). Of the 1126 individuals who received the study information, 931 (83%) completed the baseline survey. Total mean scores for all subscales were elevated (personal: 53.7, SD 21.4; work-related: 52.0, SD 22; and client-related: 30.6, SD 20.8; each scale ranged from 0, low, to 100, high). Burnout scores differed between those contemplating leaving their jobs and those who were not, across all subscales of CBI, including personal (64.2 versus 42.4,-24.18 to-19.44 confidence interval [CI]), work-related (63.5 versus 39.7,-26.12 to-21.35 CI), and client-related (36.6 versus 24.2,-14.95 to-9.84 CI; P , .0001 for all). Conclusions In this national survey of PAs, burnout scores measured by the CBI were higher among those who had considered leaving their positions.

“…A 2014 study established a rate of burnout in members of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) of 32% ( Rath et al, 2015 ). Burnout is associated with numerous negative consequences including reduced quality of care, poor patient outcomes, early retirement, and increased rates of depression and suicide ( Cass et al, 2016 ). Furthermore, a recent decision analysis found that burnout is associated with decreased productivity with disproportionate rates of lost relative value units among females ( Turner et al, 2017 ).…”

PurposeIn this study we sought to: 1) determine rates of burnout and other associated indices of psychosocial distress such as alcohol and substance abuse, 2) establish the baseline performance of gynecologic oncologists on several positive psychology metrics, 3) determine if increased hope, resilience, and flourishing are associated with decreased burnout.MethodsA survey of members of the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) was conducted in spring of 2017. Participants were sent an electronic questionnaire consisting of 82 items measuring burnout, depression, substance abuse, flourishing, resilience, hope, and psychological wellbeing.ResultsA total of 1745 members were invited and 374 (21.4%) responded. Overall, 23.0% of respondents scores above clinical cutoffs indicating burnout. Almost 50.0% of participants screened positive for depression, 17.0% screened positive for alcohol abuse and 12.0% screened positive for substance abuse. Respondents meeting criteria for burnout were more likely to screen positive for depression (p < .001) and substance abuse (p < .001). Participants not meeting criteria for burnout had higher resilience, flourishing, hope, and wellbeing scores (p < .001). Male respondents had higher levels of hope, resilience, and wellbeing while married participants had higher flourishing and wellbeing scores than their unmarried counterparts. Parents had higher levels of resilience and wellbeing compared to non-parents.Conclusion(s)Burnout and associated indices of physiological distress continue to affect a large segment of SGO membership. Participants not meeting the criteria for burnout had higher scores on resilience, flourishing, hope, and wellbeing metrics. This suggests new targets for evidence-based interventions to mitigate burnout among members of SGO.

Physician Burnout among Members of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Objective To determine the rate of physician burnout among maternal-fetal medicine subspecialists and identify associated factors. Study Design Noninternational members of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) were surveyed regarding burnout using a validated tool specifically designed for health professionals (Maslach Burnout Inventory—Human Services Survey). Burnout was defined as exceeding established cutoffs for emotional exhaustion or depersonalization. Demographic information and potential contributors associated with the presence of burnout were also examined. Results The survey was sent to 1,220 members and 44.1% of members completed the entire survey. The physician burnout rate was 56.5%. Factors associated with burnout included female gender, being 5 to 20 years in practice, self-perceived burnout, being somewhat or very dissatisfied with career or supervisor and charting for more than 4 hours per day. Factors associated with less burnout were being male, having some protected time for education and regular exercise. Women scored higher on emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and lower personal accomplishment compared with men. Conclusion Physician burnout among the SMFM members is higher than has been reported in other specialties. While some of these factors are modifiable, further study into why women have higher rates of burnout needs to be performed.
