OBJECTIVES
This study explores associations between job satisfaction, career flexibility, and burnout among physician assistants (PAs) in Minnesota.
METHODS
A survey comprising the Maslach Burnout Inventory (a validated burnout tool) and original questions was emailed to PAs practicing in Minnesota. Spearman rank correlation coefficients were used to assess associations between variables and burnout.
RESULTS
PAs (response rate = 31.4%, N = 312) reported moderate levels of burnout. Working in primary care and being female were independently associated with higher rates of burnout. Satisfaction with one's career and one's current position were both high (95.9% and 87.8%, respectively) and independently associated with lower rates of burnout.
CONCLUSIONS
Despite high levels of career and job satisfaction, PAs in Minnesota report moderate levels of burnout, particularly women in primary care. Further research should examine a broader population and the effect of burnout on patient care.
目的
本研究探讨明尼苏达州医师助理（PA）的工作满意度、职业灵活性与职业倦怠之间的关联。
方法
向在明尼苏达州执业的医师助理发送了一份包含马氏职业倦怠量表（一种经过验证的职业倦怠工具）和原始问题的调查问卷。使用斯皮尔曼等级相关系数来评估变量与职业倦怠之间的关联。
结果
医师助理（回复率 = 31.4%，N = 312）报告称职业倦怠程度中等。从事初级保健工作和女性与较高的职业倦怠率独立相关。对职业和当前职位的满意度都很高（分别为95.9%和87.8%），并与较低的职业倦怠率独立相关。
结论
尽管职业和工作满意度较高，但明尼苏达州的医师助理报告称职业倦怠程度中等，尤其是从事初级保健工作的女性。进一步的研究应考察更广泛的人群以及职业倦怠对患者护理的影响。
