The cancer burden is rising globally with an increasing need for oncologists. The significant demands associated with caring for cancer patients within a rapidly evolving scientific field, poses manifold challenges, including the risk of work-related burnout. Surveys have already shown that the prevalence of burnout in oncologists worldwide is significant. There is growing concern that burnout has a detrimental impact on the wellbeing of oncologists and their patients. In this review article, we provide an oncologist's perspective on this important and topical issue. We have summarised the literature with regard to the consequences of physician burnout, its associated risk factors and previously evaluated solutions. We conclude by suggesting further strategies for addressing this problem.
全球癌症负担不断增加，对肿瘤学家的需求也在不断增加。在快速发展的科学领域中照顾癌症患者会带来巨大的需求，这也带来了多方面的挑战，包括与工作相关的倦怠风险。调查已经表明，全球肿瘤学家中倦怠的患病率很高。人们越来越担心倦怠会对肿瘤学家及其患者的健康产生不利影响。在这篇综述文章中，我们从肿瘤学家的角度探讨了这个重要且热门的问题。我们总结了有关医生倦怠的后果、相关危险因素和以前评估的解决方案的文献。最后，我们提出了进一步解决这个问题的策略。
