Background: Specialisation is perceived as essential for success, and affects the availability and distribution of medical personnel and the quality of service the health system is able to deliver. In Ghana, some areas of medical specialties have a relatively good number of practitioners and are constantly attracting prospective doctors into these fields. Anaesthesia, which is an essential and integral part of the health care system, is one field with an inadequate workforce and has been attracting few doctors into the specialty. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 183 undergraduate final-year students of the University of Ghana School of Medicine and Dentistry. A total of 183 self-reporting questionnaires were distributed among the students during tutorials for their final exams. Of these, 146 questionnaires were completed and returned. Results: General surgery was the most desirable specialty 26 (17.8%), paediatrics was the second most desirable specialty 24 (16.4%), whilst anaesthesia 2 (1.4%) ranked seventh. Conclusions:The results of this survey suggest that duration of exposure during clinical clerkship influences career decision among undergraduate medical students. Most of the students prioritise their choice of specialty based on interest and exposure during rotation through the specialty.

“…Parallel zur generellen Diskussion des Burn-out-Syndroms wurde in den vergangenen Jahren eine Reihe empirischer Untersuchungen zu diesem Thema bei Ärzten und Pflegekräften durchgeführt. Die implizite oder explizite Grundannahme hierbei war, dass gerade diese Berufsgruppen zufolge ihrer berufsbedingten Belastungen auffällig häu-fig von chronischer Überlastung betroffen sind -besonders in den Bereichen Psychiatrie, Onkologie, Anästhesie sowie Intensiv-und Notfallmedizin [12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29].…”

“…Die Aussagekraft der Ergebnisse wird zudem durch prinzipielle methodologische Aspekte der Studienart limitiert, die hier nicht im Einzelnen diskutiert werden können [31]. Zentral ist dabei der Umstand, dass bei den Umfragen zumeist nur einmalig retrospektiv nach subjektiv empfundener Stressbelastung und entsprechenden Beschwerden gefragt wurde, sodass Schlussfolgerungen zur zeitlichen Abfolge oder zu kausalen Zusammenhängen zwischen den (vermuteten) unabhängigen und den (vermuteten) abhängigen Variablen spekulativ bleiben [16,17,19,20,21,31].…”

“…Zur organisatorischen Stresspräven-tion am Arbeitsplatz wurden u. a. folgende Maßnahmen vorgeschlagen: vermehrte Autonomie der Arbeitnehmer bezüg-lich Gestaltungsfreiheit und Variabilität am Arbeitsplatz bei einem realistischen Zeitansatz für die Erfüllung der über-tragenen Aufgaben, Freistellung für Forschung und Fortbildungsmaßnahmen, Coaching, Supervision und kontinuierliche Erfassung des psychologischen Gesundheitszustands von Ärzten sowie kontinuierliche Burn-out-Präventionspro-gramme und berufsgruppenspezifische Therapieangebote [11,14,16,18,23,28,29,43,44,46]. Entscheidend ist dabei offenkundig nicht zuletzt eine angemessene Gratifikation der erbrachten Leistung, wobei es nicht nur um die objektiven Vergütungswerte geht, wie z.…”

Physicians and nurses in anesthesia and critical care medicine are thought to be particularly prone to developing burnout. Epidemiologic data, however, are inconclusive especially because not all of the studies presented here are methodologically sound. Nevertheless, the following conclusions appear reasonable: in several European countries burnout is seen as a relevant problem in anesthesia and critical care medicine with a point-prevalence for moderate or severe burnout, as determined with the Maslach Burnout Inventory, at approximately 30% among nurses and approximately 40-50% among physicians. Determinants correlated with burnout can be found among the individual characteristics of those affected and within the occupational realm (for example high workload and insufficient control over the work routine). The actual severity of the patients' illness does not correlate with the degree of the healthcare workers' burnout. Notwithstanding a plethora of "how to" literature, there are no preventive or therapeutic measures which could meet the scientific requirements for guidelines. Stress management programs appear to be somewhat efficacious although there are no studies to date for the clientele featured in this publication. Multimodal therapy can be recommended for pronounced burnout, including occupation-related treatment modalities. However, a general open mind towards warning signs of chronic stress disorder on the individual level as well as an adequate gratification for the work performance and sufficient control over the work routine on an organizational level appear to be among the important preventive measures.

Background: Burnout syndrome is a psychological response to chronic work-related stress characterized by low enthusiasm towards the job, high psychological exhaustion, indolence and guilt. Being a medical doctor, both in Poland and in other countries, is one of the most stressful occupations and anaesthesiology is considered one of the most stressful specializations, which justify carrying out of the study on Polish anaesthesiologists. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of burnout syndrome in Polish anaesthesiologists. Methods: Non-randomized cross-sectional study was carried out and data were gathered through a self-administrated questionnaire. The sample consisted of 373 Polish anaesthesiologists, 57.6% were women and 42.4% were men. A 66% response rate was achieved. The Burnout Syndrome was measured by the Spanish Burnout Inventory. Results: The prevalence burnout risk was almost 70%. The percentage of participants who indicated very high levels of burnout was 18%; 5.9% of whom fell into profile 2 considered to be clinical. The instrument applied was reliable with Cronbach's alphas exceeding 0.70. Conclusions: The sample is characterized by high burnout risk with 5.9% of clinical cases. Participation in prevention programs is recommended.
