Burnout results from ongoing, unsuccessfully managed workplace stress, resulting in feelings of exhaustion, increased mental distance from one's job, and reduced professional efficacy.
This research used a cross-sectional questionnaire survey design. Graduated dentists in Singapore completed an online questionnaire comprising 5 sections: (a) demographics (3 items); (b) working conditions and experience (12 items); (c) the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) (19 items); (d) supplementary questions assessing causes and outcomes of stress and burnout (15 items); and (e) other outcomes (3 items).
Overall, low to moderate levels of burnout were reported by the 210 survey respondents. Average CBI scale scores (out of 100) were as follows: personal burnout = 49.14, work-related burnout = 46.41, and patient-related burnout = 37.72. High to severe levels of burnout were self-reported by 24 individuals (11.3%) for personal burnout, 17 individuals (8.0%) for work-related burnout, and 9 individuals (4.2%) for patient-related burnout.
Levels of burnout were generally low to moderate in this sample, with a small proportion of dentists experiencing high levels of burnout. Further research is required to gain clarity on stress and burnout levels across different occupational designations and dentistry settings in Singapore.
burnout 是由于持续的、未成功管理的工作场所压力导致的，表现为疲惫感、对工作的心理距离增加和职业效能降低。
本研究采用横断面问卷调查设计。新加坡的毕业牙医完成了一份在线问卷，包括 5 个部分：（a）人口统计学（3 项）；（b）工作条件和经验（12 项）；（c）哥本哈根倦怠量表（CBI）（19 项）；（d）评估压力和倦怠原因和结果的补充问题（15 项）；（e）其他结果（3 项）。
总体而言，210 名调查受访者报告了低到中度的 burnout。平均 CBI 量表得分为（满分 100）：个人倦怠=49.14，工作相关倦怠=46.41，患者相关倦怠=37.72。24 名（11.3%）个人报告了高度到严重的个人倦怠，17 名（8.0%）报告了工作相关倦怠，9 名（4.2%）报告了患者相关倦怠。
在这个样本中，burnout 的程度总体上是低到中度的，只有一小部分牙医经历了高度的 burnout。需要进一步的研究来明确新加坡不同职业和牙科环境中的压力和 burnout 水平。
