Burnout is known to have detrimental effects on healthcare staff with regard to both personal and occupational matters. The association between burnout symptoms and work satisfaction in endoscopy nursing staff in Germany has not been studied previously. We aimed to investigate the association between work satisfaction and risk of burnout in endoscopy nursing staff in Germany and to extract predictors for burnout in the area of work satisfaction, which can inform the design of future interventions.
All members of the German Association of Endoscopy Staff in Germany (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Endoskopiefachberufe e.V.-DEGEA) were invited to take part in an online survey.
The total sample consisted of 674 endoscopy staff members. Of those, 579 were female (85.9%) and 95 were male (14.1%). The mean age of the participants was 44.3 years (SD 10.6), with a median age of 46 years, a minimum age of 20, and a maximum age of 64 years. We used confirmatory factor analyses to examine the Maslach burnout inventory (MBI) and, a questionnaire for assessing general and facet-specific job satisfaction (KAFA), regarding their postulated internal structure in our special sample. Canonical correlations were performed to examine the association between work satisfaction and burnout in endoscopy staff members.
We were able to replicate the factorial structures of the MBI and the KAFA, both showing an acceptable model fit. The canonical correlation analysis resulted in three canonical functions, with canonical correlations of 0.64 ( < 0.001), 0.32 ( < 0.001), and 0.17 ( < 0.001). The first canonical function revealed that KAFA scales for colleagues, professional development, payment, supervisor, and general job satisfaction were good predictors for less exhaustion, less depersonalization and lack of empathy, and higher personal accomplishment. Commonality analysis revealed that general job satisfaction was the most significant factor in explaining the squared canonical correlation. The second canonical function showed that occupational function and colleagues were good predictors for exhaustion and personal accomplishment.
Interventions aimed at ameliorating symptoms of burnout in endoscopy staff should be tailored to address specific needs as experienced by the employees. Therefore, the results of this study could contribute to the design of various interventions, which could be employed to address the issue of work satisfaction and burnout in endoscopy staff most effectively.
burnout（职业倦怠）对医护人员的个人和职业事务都有不利影响，这是众所周知的。德国内窥镜护理人员的 burnout 症状与工作满意度之间的关系尚未被研究过。我们旨在调查德国内窥镜护理人员的工作满意度与 burnout 风险之间的关系，并从工作满意度领域中提取 burnout 的预测因素，这可以为未来的干预措施提供信息。
德国内窥镜工作人员协会（Deutsche Gesellschaft für Endoskopiefachberufe e.V.-DEGEA）的所有成员都被邀请参加在线调查。
总样本包括 674 名内窥镜工作人员。其中 579 名为女性（85.9%），95 名为男性（14.1%）。参与者的平均年龄为 44.3 岁（标准差 10.6），中位数年龄为 46 岁，最小年龄为 20 岁，最大年龄为 64 岁。我们使用验证性因子分析来检查 Maslach 倦怠量表（MBI）和评估一般和特定方面工作满意度的问卷（KAFA），在我们的特殊样本中检验其假设的内部结构。典型相关分析用于检查内窥镜工作人员的工作满意度与 burnout 之间的关联。
我们能够复制 MBI 和 KAFA 的因子结构，两者都显示出可接受的模型拟合度。典型相关分析产生了三个典型函数，典型相关性分别为 0.64（<0.001）、0.32（<0.001）和 0.17（<0.001）。第一个典型函数表明，KAFA 量表中的同事、职业发展、薪酬、主管和一般工作满意度是较少疲惫、较少去人性化和缺乏同理心以及更高的个人成就感的良好预测因素。共性分析表明，一般工作满意度是解释平方典型相关性的最重要因素。第二个典型函数表明，职业功能和同事是疲惫和个人成就感的良好预测因素。
旨在改善内窥镜工作人员 burnout 症状的干预措施应该针对员工的具体需求进行定制。因此，本研究的结果可以为设计各种干预措施提供参考，这些干预措施可以最有效地解决内窥镜工作人员的工作满意度和 burnout 问题。
