Physician well-being impacts all areas of health care. There is, however, a paucity of evidence regarding burnout among chiropractic students. The purpose of this project is to evaluate burnout among a single cohort of chiropractic students as they progress through their clinical rotation.
The Professional Fulfillment Index (PFI) was administered to chiropractic students (n = 108) at the start of their internship in January of 2021. The PFI was also distributed to students at the end of each of their 3 internship terms. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) was administered at the end of interns' eighth term of study to assess validity with the PFI. The MBI and PFI were analyzed via pairwise correlation. Demographic and relevant term questions were asked at baseline and respective terms and analyzed with descriptive statistics.
Of the study's 78 respondents (72.2% response rate), 55.8% were male with an average age of 28.6 years. Pairwise comparisons revealed statistically significant burnout differences between the baseline timepoint and the end of the eighth term, and between the baseline and the end of the ninth term. PFI burnout was correlated to emotional exhaustion in the MBI.
Our study found that approximately half of the participating chiropractic students suffered from burnout. This percentage is similar to burnout rates seen in other health care providers. Moreover, there is no widely accepted burnout threshold used in the literature. As such, studies examining standardization of burnout calculations may be warranted.
医生的幸福感会影响医疗保健的各个领域。然而，关于脊椎按摩疗法专业学生职业倦怠的证据却很少。本项目的目的是评估同一批脊椎按摩疗法专业学生在临床实习过程中的职业倦怠情况。
在2021年1月实习开始时，对脊椎按摩疗法专业学生（n = 108）进行了职业成就感指数（PFI）调查。在他们三个实习阶段结束时也对学生进行了PFI调查。在实习生第八学期结束时进行了马氏职业倦怠量表-人类服务调查（MBI-HSS），以评估与PFI的有效性。通过成对相关性分析MBI和PFI。在基线和各阶段询问人口统计学和相关阶段问题，并进行描述性统计分析。
在该研究的78名受访者中（回复率为72.2%），55.8%为男性，平均年龄为28.6岁。成对比较显示，基线时间点与第八学期末之间以及基线与第九学期末之间存在统计学上显著的职业倦怠差异。PFI职业倦怠与MBI中的情感耗竭相关。
我们的研究发现，约一半参与研究的脊椎按摩疗法专业学生存在职业倦怠。这一比例与其他医疗保健提供者的职业倦怠率相似。此外，文献中没有广泛接受的职业倦怠阈值。因此，可能有必要开展有关职业倦怠计算标准化的研究。
