The objective of this study is to determine the major stressors affecting practicing breast radiologists.
All members of the Society of Breast Imaging within the United States received an email invitation to complete an anonymous survey evaluating stressors that may contribute to physician burnout. Stressors evaluated included pace at work, work-life balance, care of dependents, job security, financial strain, decreasing reimbursement, new regulations, delivering bad news, fear of getting sued, and dealing with difficult patients, radiologists, and administrators.
The overall response rate was 13.5% (312/2308). For those who opened the email, response rate was 24.6% (312/1269). The most prevalent stressors reported were working too fast (222/312, 71.2%), balancing demands of work with personal life (209/312, 70.0%), fear of getting sued (164/312, 52.6%), and dealing with difficult administrators (156/312, 50%). Prevalence of stress related to new regulation requirements, job security, financial strain, decreased reimbursement, dependent care, call, delivering bad news, and dealing with difficult patients, difficult referrers, and difficult radiologists were present in fewer than 50% of respondents.
The most prevalent sources of stress in breast imaging radiologists relate to working too fast and balancing demands of work with time needed for personal life.
本研究的目的是确定影响执业乳腺放射科医生的主要压力源。
美国乳腺影像学会的所有成员都收到了一封电子邮件邀请，邀请他们完成一项匿名调查，评估可能导致医生职业倦怠的压力源。评估的压力源包括工作节奏、工作与生活的平衡、家属照料、工作保障、经济压力、报销减少、新法规、传达坏消息、害怕被起诉以及应对难缠的患者、放射科医生和管理人员。
总体回复率为13.5%（312/2308）。对于打开电子邮件的人，回复率为24.6%（312/1269）。报告的最普遍压力源是工作速度太快（222/312，71.2%）、平衡工作需求与个人生活（209/312，70.0%）、害怕被起诉（164/312,52.6%）以及应对难缠的管理人员（156/312，50%）。与新法规要求、工作保障、经济压力、报销减少、家属照料、值班、传达坏消息以及应对难缠的患者、难缠的转诊医生和难缠的放射科医生相关的压力在不到50%的受访者中存在。
乳腺影像放射科医生最普遍的压力源与工作速度太快以及平衡工作需求与个人生活所需时间有关。
