The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic spread throughout the world from the beginning of 2020, increasing healthcare professionals' workloads and levels of physical and emotional stress.
To determine the prevalence of burnout syndrome in Spanish radiologists during the COVID-19 pandemic and the factors associated with the development of this syndrome, and to compare these findings with those obtained before the pandemic.
This observation study took place between April 2020 and August 2020 (during the pandemic) through an online survey. A total of 150 responses were obtained. Demographic and work-related information was compiled. Burnout syndrome was measured with the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS). The prevalence and characteristics of burnout syndrome obtained in this survey were compared with those of the same survey done in 2019. We performed a statistical analysis to identify possible risk factors and protective factors associated with this syndrome and to determine the homogeneity of the two samples.
The prevalence of burnout syndrome increased during the COVID-19 pandemic (49.3% vs. 33.6%, p = 0.002). No risk factors or protective factors that were valid both before and after the pandemic were identified. No correlations were identified between sociodemographic or work-related characteristics and burnout syndrome.
This study demonstrates that burnout syndrome increased significantly in radiologists during the COVID-19 pandemic, affecting nearly half of all those who responded to the survey. These results underline the need to assess support for professional wellbeing of radiologists in Spain. No correlations were identified between burnout and gender, age, number of calls, years in the job, annual income, teaching, marital status, number of children, or type of contract.
2019 年冠状病毒（COVID-19）疫情自 2020 年初开始在全球范围内蔓延，增加了医疗保健专业人员的工作量和身心压力水平。
确定 COVID-19 大流行期间西班牙放射科医生 burnout 综合征的患病率，以及与该综合征发展相关的因素，并将这些发现与大流行前获得的结果进行比较。
这项观察性研究于 2020 年 4 月至 2020 年 8 月期间（大流行期间）通过在线调查进行。共获得 150 份回复。收集了人口统计学和工作相关信息。采用 Maslach 职业倦怠量表（MBI-HSS）测量 burnout 综合征。将本次调查中获得的 burnout 综合征的患病率和特征与 2019 年进行的相同调查进行比较。我们进行了统计分析，以确定与该综合征相关的可能风险因素和保护因素，并确定两个样本的同质性。
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，burnout 综合征的患病率增加（49.3% vs. 33.6%，p=0.002）。在大流行前后均未发现有效的风险因素或保护因素。社会人口统计学或工作相关特征与 burnout 综合征之间没有相关性。
本研究表明，在 COVID-19 大流行期间，放射科医生的 burnout 综合征显著增加，影响了近一半参与调查的医生。这些结果强调了需要评估西班牙放射科医生的专业幸福感支持。在 burnout 和性别、年龄、呼叫次数、工作年限、年收入、教学、婚姻状况、子女数量或合同类型之间没有相关性。
