The authors assess whether implementation of work hour limits is associated with a lower prevalence of medical resident burnout.
A survey was mailed to medical residents in different medical specialties at one university.
Somewhat lower burnout prevalence was reported among residents after implementation of work hour limits compared with the rates prior to the implementation period. The decrease in burnout prevalence occurred primarily among PGY-1 residents. Prevalence of burnout increased with hours worked.
Implementing work hour limits appeared to reduce burnout prevalence.
作者评估工作时间限制的实施是否与住院医师职业倦怠患病率降低相关。
向一所大学不同医学专业的住院医师邮寄了一份调查问卷。
与实施工作时间限制之前的比率相比，报告显示实施后住院医师的职业倦怠患病率有所降低。职业倦怠患病率的下降主要发生在第一年住院医师（PGY-1）中。职业倦怠患病率随工作时长增加而上升。
实施工作时间限制似乎能降低职业倦怠患病率。
