Abstract

OBJECTIVES

Recent research showed that medical residents have a high risk for developing burnout. The present study investigates the prevalence of burnout and its relationship with suicidal thoughts among medical residents.

METHODS

All Dutch medical residents (n = 5126) received a self-report questionnaire. Burnout was measured with the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Residents were asked about the frequency of suicidal thoughts.

RESULTS

Response rate was 41.3% (n = 2115). 432 Residents (20.6%) were classified as burnout. 12% reported having suicidal thoughts at least 1 time during their residency, and 1% many times. Suicidal thoughts were substantially more prevalent in the group with burnout in comparison to non-burnout (20.5% vs. 7.6%; chi(2) = 182.9, p < .001).

CONCLUSION

Knowledge about the relationship between burnout and suicidal thoughts among these young medical professionals could be important for suicide prevention.

摘要

目的

近期研究表明，住院医师出现职业倦怠的风险很高。本研究调查了住院医师职业倦怠的患病率及其与自杀念头的关系。

方法

所有荷兰住院医师（n = 5126）均收到一份自填式问卷。采用马氏职业倦怠量表测量职业倦怠情况。询问住院医师自杀念头的出现频率。

结果

回复率为41.3%（n = 2115）。432名住院医师（20.6%）被归类为职业倦怠。12%的人报告在住院实习期间至少有过1次自杀念头，1%的人报告有过多次。与未出现职业倦怠的住院医师相比，出现职业倦怠的住院医师中自杀念头的发生率显著更高（20.5%对7.6%；卡方检验=182.9，p <.001）。
