To evaluate the direct and interactive role of personal and work-related factors in psychological burnout among doctors.
The cross-sectional study was conducted in September, 2018, at three hospitals of the twin cities of Rawalpindi/Islamabad, Pakistan, and comprised doctors aged 24-49 years. Data was collected using a demographic questionnaire and the self-reporting Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Data was analysed using SPSS 23.
Of the 161 doctors, 66(41%) were males and 96(59%) were female. The overall mean age of the sample was 26.44 4.80 years (range: 24-49 years). There was significant direct effect of work setting and indirect effect of gender and work setting on psychological burnout (p<0.05). Doctors experienced more burnout in emergency room settings compared to wards and outpatient departments (p<0.05). Further, young and low-salaried doctors were more prone to psychological burnout, and continuous working hours added to the adversity of burnout (p<0.05)..
Personal and workplace related factors were found to play a significant role in psychological burnout which may possibly affect the overall efficiency of doctors.
评估个人因素和工作相关因素在医生职业倦怠中的直接和交互作用。
2018年9月在巴基斯坦拉瓦尔品第/伊斯兰堡双城的三家医院开展了一项横断面研究,纳入年龄在24至49岁之间的医生。使用人口统计学调查问卷和哥本哈根倦怠自评量表收集数据。采用SPSS 23对数据进行分析。
161名医生中,男性66名(41%),女性96名(59%)。样本的总体平均年龄为26.44±4.80岁(范围:24至49岁)。工作环境对职业倦怠有显著直接影响,性别和工作环境对职业倦怠有间接影响(p<0.05)。与病房和门诊相比,医生在急诊室环境中经历的倦怠更多(p<0.05)。此外,年轻和低薪医生更容易出现职业倦怠,连续工作时间会加剧倦怠的不利影响(p<0.05)。
个人因素和工作场所相关因素在职业倦怠中起着重要作用,这可能会影响医生的整体工作效率。
