“…An abundance of systematic reviews have highlighted the significantly negative impact of medical education on student wellness [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Specifically, a worrying prevalence of burnout has been widely reported among medical students and residents across several specialties and numerous countries including the United States, Qatar, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, France, England, Switzerland, Thailand, India, Germany, Greece, and Trinidad & Tobago [9,10,30,[39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47]. Burnout is traditionally defined as a maladaptive response to chronic work stress [48,49] and characterized by a triad of emotional exhaustion (i.e., loss of enthusiasm), depersonalization (i.e., cynical thought patterns) and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment.…”

Background A variety of stressors throughout medical education have contributed to a burnout epidemic at both the undergraduate medical education (UGME) and postgraduate medical education (PGME) levels. In response, UGME and PGME programs have recently begun to explore resilience-based interventions. As these interventions are in their infancy, little is known about their efficacy in promoting trainee resilience. This systematic review aims to synthesize the available research evidence on the efficacy of resilience curricula in UGME and PGME. Methods We performed a comprehensive search of the literature using MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC), and Education Source from their inception to June 2020. Studies reporting the effect of resilience curricula in UGME and PGME settings were included. A qualitative analysis of the available studies was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Risk of bias was assessed using the ROBINS-I Tool. Results Twenty-one studies met the inclusion criteria. Thirteen were single-arm studies, 6 quasi-experiments, and 2 RCTs. Thirty-eight percent (8/21; n = 598) were implemented in UGME, while 62 % (13/21, n = 778) were in PGME. There was significant heterogeneity in the duration, delivery, and curricular topics and only two studies implemented the same training model. Similarly, there was considerable variation in curricula outcome measures, with the majority reporting modest improvement in resilience, while three studies reported worsening of resilience upon completion of training. Overall assessment of risk of bias was moderate and only few curricula were previously validated by other research groups. Conclusions Findings suggest that resilience curricula may be of benefit to medical trainees. Resilience training is an emerging area of medical education that merits further investigation. Additional research is needed to construct optimal methods to foster resilience in medical education.

“…22 However, our results contradict research on physicians where work-related burnout (46.7%) was highest, followed by personal burnout (44.8%) and client-related burnout (35.1%); while all sub-scale scores indicated high burnout. 23 Consistently, although no significant difference in burnout level was detected between different mental health professions, psychiatrists still had the highest risk of burnout compared to other professions. 24,25 One possible explanation is that psychiatrists are more involved with work associated with complex emotional problems alongside high patient expectations; thus, they are more likely to experience stress, pressure, and burnout.…”

“…24 Older ages seemed to signify lower burnout, particularly in personal and work-related burnout. 23,28 Similarly, younger age was found to be correlated with high emotional exhaustion. 19 Moreover, there were differences in the burnout average scores and burnout component scores across different education levels.…”

“…Although research on years of employment using CBI is very limited, one study found an association between longer working hours and lower personal and work-related burnout. 23 Furthermore, a study revealed that greater emotional exhaustion correlated with fewer years of work experience among mental health providers. 29 Furthermore, we found that only neuroticism and avoidance could predict higher burnout, similar to past research showing that neuroticism was a risk factor for workplace stress.…”

Objective: To examine the level of burnout syndrome, and to investigate the relationship between burnout, personality traits, coping strategies, and other related personal factors among mental health professionals working in a tertiary hospital.Materials and Methods: Online questionnaires were sent to 160 mental health professionals at Siriraj Hospital. The questionnaire comprised questions collecting demographic data, the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (Thai version), the Big Five Inventory, and the Coping Scale. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression.Results: A total of 121 (75.6%) responses were collected. Of the 121 participants, 41.3% reported high total burnout levels. However, no difference in total burnout was found between the different mental health professions. The group aged between 20-29 years demonstrated higher burnout than the others. Individuals with bachelor’s and master’s degrees showed greater burnout than those with lower than undergraduate degrees. Moreover, individuals who worked for less than five years had higher burnout than those in other groups. Furthermore, neuroticism and avoidance significantly predicted the burnout syndrome.Conclusion: In contrast to previous studies in Thailand, the results highlighted the risk factors for burnout syndrome in terms of personal, work-related, and client-related burnout. These results can strengthen awareness surrounding mental health conditions, for the effective provision of psychoeducation and psychological interventions.

“…Till now, there have been an enormous body of evidence suggesting that longer working hours [42,43,46,47] and less control over one's job [40] can lead to burnout and job dissatisfaction. Similarly, our study also reported that longer working hours were signi cantly associated with both burnout and job dissatisfaction.…”

BackgroundDespite a significant shortage of psychiatrists in China, an ever-increasing amount of psychiatrists in China are experiencing burnout and job dissatisfaction and considering leaving their jobs. Yet, to our knowledge, there have been no nationwide studies to date that examined both burnout and job dissatisfaction of psychiatrists in China. Therefore, this study evaluated burnout and job dissatisfaction of psychiatrists in China, and identified relevant characteristics. MethodsWe conducted a nationwide, cross-sectional survey in March 2019. Psychiatrists from all tertiary psychiatric hospitals in China were invited to participate. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey and the short version of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire were used to measure burnout and job satisfaction. Data on socio-demographic and occupational characteristics were collected. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to identify socio-demographic and occupational characteristics associated with burnout and job satisfaction.ResultsIn total, 4520 psychiatrists from tertiary psychiatric hospitals in China completed the questionnaire. Overall, 38.4% of respondents met the criteria for burnout and 35.6% were dissatisfied with their jobs. Being male, more years of practice, having no leadership role, and longer working hours per week were significantly associated with burnout and job dissatisfaction. Lower monthly pay was significantly associated with job dissatisfaction but not burnout. Moreover, burnout was significantly associated with job dissatisfaction.ConclusionsOur data suggest a high rate of burnout and job dissatisfaction among psychiatrists in China. In order to preserve and strengthen the mental health workforce, proactive measures are urgently needed to improve job morale of psychiatrists in China.
