We aimed to estimate the self-reported prevalence of burnout in chairs of academic radiology departments in the United States and identify factors associated with high burnout in chairs.
An anonymous cross-sectional online survey was conducted of members of the Society of Chairs of Academic Radiology Departments. Burnout was measured using the abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey. Associations between survey participants' characteristics and burnout were tested using Fisher's exact test and Wilcoxon rank sum test.
Of the 123 chairs invited to complete the survey, 87 responded (response rate, 71%). The mean age of the participants was 58 years. The survey respondents had an average of 9 years of experience as department chair. The average number of work hours per week was 62 hours. Four participants (5%) of the academic chairs met all three criteria for high burnout including high emotional exhaustion, high depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment. Thirty-three participants (38%) had high emotional exhaustion and/or high depersonalization score. Low professional satisfaction score, low work-life balance satisfaction score, and low chair effectiveness score were significantly associated with high burnout. High emotional exhaustion and/or high depersonalization were significantly associated with numerous professional stressors. Lack of an institutional support group for chairs and lower number of faculty members in the department were significantly associated with burnout.
A significant proportion of chairs of academic radiology departments are experiencing 1 or more symptoms of burnout. Efforts to address burnout in radiology chairs should be initiated promptly at the national, institutional, and departmental levels.
我们旨在评估美国学术放射学系主任中自我报告的倦怠发生率，并确定与主任高度倦怠相关的因素。
对放射学系主任学会的成员进行了一项匿名的横断面在线调查。使用简短的 Maslach 倦怠量表人力资源服务调查来衡量倦怠。使用 Fisher 精确检验和 Wilcoxon 秩和检验来检验调查参与者特征与倦怠之间的关联。
在 123 名受邀完成调查的主任中，有 87 名做出回应（回应率为 71%）。参与者的平均年龄为 58 岁。调查对象担任系主任的平均经验为 9 年。每周平均工作时间为 62 小时。有 4 名（5%）学术主任符合高倦怠的所有三个标准，包括高情绪衰竭、高去人性化和低个人成就感。33 名参与者（38%）存在高情绪衰竭和/或高去人性化评分。专业满意度评分低、工作-生活平衡满意度评分低和主任效能评分低与高度倦怠显著相关。高情绪衰竭和/或高去人性化与许多职业压力因素显著相关。缺乏针对主任的机构支持小组以及系里的教员人数较少与倦怠显著相关。
相当一部分学术放射学系主任存在 1 种或多种倦怠症状。应立即在国家、机构和部门层面上发起针对放射学主任倦怠的应对措施。
