Burnout syndrome is a condition marked by emotional exhaustion, deterioration in motivation and lack of commitment, resulting from long-lasting workplace stress, characterized by exhaustion, negative feelings towards one's work and reduced professional efficacy. Healthcare workers are at particularly high risk for burnout due to high levels of stress. Our objectives were to determine the prevalence of burnout syndrome among doctors in Sabah and factors associated with it. This multi-centre cross-sectional study was carried out among doctors working in five Sabah main hospitals. Data were collected by using self-administered questionnaires consisting of basic socio-demographic information and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Overall, a total of 523 doctors consented to participate in this study. The prevalence of personal burnout, work-related burnout, and patient-related burnout among doctors were 57.1%, 48.8%, and 30.4% respectively. Chi-square analysis showed factors that were associated to personal burnout and work-related burnout, were marital status, duration of service and position in the service. Duration of service was the only factor associated with patient-related burnout. The prevalence of burnout syndrome in Sabah should not to be overlooked and more researches are indicated to look into prevention of burnout syndrome in Malaysian setting.
burnout 综合征是一种由长期工作压力引起的症状，表现为情绪疲惫、动力下降和缺乏承诺感，其特征是疲惫、对工作的负面情绪和职业效能降低。医疗工作者由于压力水平较高，因此特别容易患上 burnout 综合征。我们的目的是确定沙巴州医生 burnout 综合征的患病率及其相关因素。这项多中心横断面研究在沙巴州的五家主要医院工作的医生中进行。数据通过使用自我管理的问卷收集，问卷包括基本的社会人口统计学信息和哥本哈根倦怠量表（CBI）。共有 523 名医生同意参加这项研究。医生个人倦怠、工作倦怠和患者倦怠的患病率分别为 57.1%、48.8%和 30.4%。卡方分析显示，与个人倦怠和工作倦怠相关的因素是婚姻状况、服务年限和服务岗位。服务年限是与患者倦怠相关的唯一因素。沙巴州 burnout 综合征的患病率不容忽视，需要更多的研究来探讨马来西亚预防 burnout 综合征的方法。
