Burnout occurs when people are exposed to emotionally demanding work situations over an extended period, resulting in physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. This study adopted the personal burnout (PB) and work-related burnout (WB) scales of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory to measure burnout levels. Musculoskeletal (MS) pain is one factor influencing burnout. Previous studies have demonstrated that male and female hormones may contribute to sex-related differences in MS pain. This was an observational and cross-sectional study conducted at a medical-university-affiliated hospital in Taichung, Taiwan, in 2021. Data were collected for demographic characteristics, family structure, living habits, occupation, physical health, Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire score, and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory score. Of the 2531 questionnaires that were distributed, 1615 (63.81%) valid questionnaires remained after those with missing data were excluded. The results demonstrated neck and shoulder pain (NBSP) is commonly associated with burnout among healthcare workers, with a higher prevalence among women than among men. With confounders being controlled for, women were found to experience substantially higher levels of personal and work-related burnout than men did. NBSP is a mediating factor; therefore, it is a key reason why women are more likely than men to experience burnout.
当人们长期处于情绪要求高的工作环境中时，就会出现 burnout，导致身体、情感和精神疲惫。本研究采用哥本哈根倦怠量表的个人倦怠 (PB) 和与工作相关的倦怠 (WB) 量表来衡量倦怠水平。肌肉骨骼 (MS) 疼痛是影响倦怠的一个因素。先前的研究表明，男性和女性激素可能导致 MS 疼痛的性别差异。这是 2021 年在台湾台中市一家医科大学附属医院进行的一项观察性和横断面研究。收集的数据包括人口统计学特征、家庭结构、生活习惯、职业、身体健康、北欧肌肉骨骼问卷评分和哥本哈根倦怠量表评分。在分发的 2531 份问卷中，排除缺失数据后，剩余 1615 份（63.81%）有效问卷。结果表明，颈部和肩部疼痛（NBSP）在医护人员中常与倦怠有关，女性的患病率高于男性。在控制混杂因素后，发现女性经历的个人和与工作相关的倦怠程度明显高于男性。NBSP 是一个中介因素；因此，它是女性比男性更容易出现倦怠的一个关键原因。
