We want to analyze the effect of migration background (MB) on physician burnout and work-life balance.
In September 2019, physicians from various specialties answered a questionnaire on work and health. We analyzed a subsample of 526 physicians that were working full time in a hospital, 14% with an MB and 47.9% were female.
Multivariate analysis showed that physicians with an MB exhibit significantly less favorable scores on all three burnout dimensions, and this effect persisted in the regression analysis after adding age, gender, and marital status as control variables. There were no differences with regard to work-life balance.
To our knowledge, our study is the first one to suggest that MB plays a significant role in physician mental health. Future research will benefit from identifying the factors behind that connection, e.g., problems related to acculturation, communication and social integration, which can then be addressed by policymakers in order to maintain and improve the medical infrastructure.
我们想要分析移民背景（MB）对医生职业倦怠和工作生活平衡的影响。
2019年9月，来自各个专业的医生回答了一份关于工作与健康的问卷。我们分析了在医院全职工作的526名医生的子样本，其中14%有移民背景，47.9%为女性。
多变量分析表明，有移民背景的医生在所有三个职业倦怠维度上的得分明显更不理想，并且在将年龄、性别和婚姻状况作为控制变量纳入回归分析后，这种影响依然存在。在工作生活平衡方面没有差异。
据我们所知，我们的研究是首个表明移民背景在医生心理健康中起重要作用的研究。未来的研究将受益于确定这种联系背后的因素，例如与文化适应、沟通和社会融合相关的问题，政策制定者随后可以解决这些问题，以维持和改善医疗基础设施。
