Many studies confirm that psychological factors and burnout in physicians are interconnected. It is however not known, whether quality of life is another factor that plays a role in this connection.The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between quality of life and emotional profile with the level of burnout in physicians.
120 physicians participated in this study, i.e., sixty general practitioners (GPs) and sixty psychiatrists.
The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) were used to measure the job stress. The Quality of Life (QOL) and the Emotions Profile Index (EPI) were used to determine quality of life and emotional profile. Data were analyzed using methods of single and multiple correlation and regression methods.
The QOL was higher in psychiatrists as a direct consequence of questions about finances and friendship. Analysis by gender showed that the growth of the burnout risk level (MBI) correlated with the growth of number of women who had stress coping problems.
This research suggests that quality of life and individual factors represent a very significant role in burnout among physicians. Further researches in a bigger sample are required in order to identify key factors of quality of life related to burnout reducing, as well as for improvement of supervision strategies, including more the relevance of psychological profile of physicians.
许多研究证实医生的心理因素和职业倦怠相互关联。然而，生活质量是否是这一关联中的另一个因素尚不清楚。本研究的目的是探讨医生的生活质量和情绪状况与职业倦怠程度之间的相关性。
120名医生参与了本研究，即60名全科医生（GP）和60名精神科医生。
使用一般健康问卷（GHQ）和马氏职业倦怠量表（MBI）来测量工作压力。使用生活质量（QOL）和情绪状况指数（EPI）来确定生活质量和情绪状况。数据采用单因素和多因素相关及回归分析方法进行分析。
由于关于财务和友谊的问题，精神科医生的生活质量更高。按性别分析表明，职业倦怠风险水平（MBI）的增加与有压力应对问题的女性数量增加相关。
本研究表明生活质量和个体因素在医生职业倦怠中起着非常重要的作用。需要在更大样本中进行进一步研究，以确定与降低职业倦怠相关的生活质量关键因素，以及改进监督策略，包括更多地关注医生的心理状况。
