Academic burnout has adverse effects on residents' professional behavior as well as personal aspects of their lives and can ultimately affect their performance in the workplace. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of burnout among surgical residents in Imam Khomeini hospital and the relationship between factors such as sex, marital status, living place, specialized field, and anxiety with burnout.
We conducted a cross-sectional study in 2021. A validated version of the Maslach burnout inventory for students (MBI-SS), the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and a questionnaire on contributing factors were used. Statistical analysis for the prevalence of burnout and comparison between scores of groups were performed.
Of 130 surgical residents who answered the survey, 26% met the criteria for burnout. There was a significantly higher prevalence of burnout among PGY1 residents. Of these residents, 85.4% and 62.3% had high scores on emotional exhaustion and cynicism, respectively. We observed an association between different surgical disciplines and anxiety with burnout.
The prevalence of burnout among surgical residents was notable and higher than expected. There was a reliable association between anxiety and burnout. A longitudinal study on a group of students with a consideration of associated factors is suggested.
职业倦怠对住院医师的职业行为以及个人生活方面都有不良影响，最终会影响他们在工作场所的表现。本研究旨在确定伊玛目霍梅尼医院外科住院医师的倦怠发生率，并研究性别、婚姻状况、居住地点、专业领域和焦虑等因素与倦怠之间的关系。
我们于 2021 年进行了一项横断面研究。使用了经过验证的学生职业倦怠量表（MBI-SS）、贝克焦虑量表和一份关于促成因素的问卷。对倦怠的发生率和组间评分进行了统计分析。
在回答调查的 130 名外科住院医师中，26%符合倦怠标准。PGY1 住院医师的倦怠发生率明显更高。这些住院医师中，分别有 85.4%和 62.3%的人在情绪耗竭和玩世不恭方面得分较高。我们观察到不同外科学科和焦虑与倦怠之间存在关联。
外科住院医师的倦怠发生率显著且高于预期。焦虑与倦怠之间存在可靠的关联。建议对一组学生进行纵向研究，并考虑相关因素。
