To assess in pharmacy academicians the six domains of worklife (community, control, fairness, reward, workload, values) that have been associated with burnout and poor job satisfaction. We aimed to assess the Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS) among a sample of pharmacy academicians attending a national meeting to evaluate personal, environmental, or workplace factors that may influence the worklife environment. Data were analyzed using SPSS, descriptive statistics were identified, and Kruskal-Wallis and Pearson correlations were performed. The participant response rate was 40% (n=49/121 attendees). Eighty-eight percent of participants reported working more than 40 hours per week. Mean AWS scores ranged from 2.7 to 3.9 (whereby 1 indicated a strong mismatch between person and work environment and 5 indicated a strong match). The workload and fairness domains had the lowest reported scores, whereas control had the highest. Higher mean scores were reported for control and reward in those with a mentor and for fairness in those having a hobby. Participants gave the lowest ratings to two worklife areas, workload and fairness. Developing targeted interventions, such as in mentorship, hobbies, and transparency in the work setting, may be important for preventing burnout in pharmacy academicians. Further studies in a larger population may help to determine factors associated with the areas of worklife that received low ratings.
评估药学专业学术人员的工作生活的六个领域(社区、控制、公平、奖励、工作量、价值观),这些领域与倦怠和工作满意度低有关。我们旨在评估参加全国会议的药学专业学术人员的工作生活调查(AWS),以评估可能影响工作生活环境的个人、环境或工作场所因素。使用 SPSS 分析数据,确定描述性统计数据,并进行 Kruskal-Wallis 和 Pearson 相关性分析。参与者的回复率为 40%(n=49/121 名与会者)。88%的参与者报告每周工作超过 40 小时。AWS 平均得分范围为 2.7 至 3.9(其中 1 表示人与工作环境之间存在强烈不匹配,5 表示强烈匹配)。工作量和公平性领域的报告得分最低,而控制领域的得分最高。有导师的人报告控制和奖励方面的平均得分较高,有爱好的人报告公平方面的得分较高。参与者对两个工作生活领域(工作量和公平性)的评价最低。针对药学专业学术人员可能出现的倦怠问题,制定有针对性的干预措施,如导师指导、培养爱好和工作环境透明化等,可能非常重要。在更大的人群中进行进一步的研究可能有助于确定与工作生活领域相关的因素,这些领域的评价较低。
