Burnout research is limited in Saudi Arabia, particularly among radiographers. Burnout among Saudi radiographers may have a negative impact on the services offered.
This study aims to assess the burnout among radiographers in Medina hospitals.
This quantitative cross-sectional study included 104 radiographers from government and private Medina hospitals. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel, which consists of 22 questions, was used to measure the burnout level. The data were evaluated descriptively using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (version 25), and independent -tests and analysis of variance were applied to assess group differences and linear regression analysis to evaluate associations between the burnout level and sociodemographic variables (ie sex, age, experience, and department).
The emotional exhaustion (EE) and depersonalization (DP) scores were moderate, while the personal accomplishment (PA) score was high, with total scores of 23.53 (9.32), 7.29 (5.95), and 29.70 (1.35), respectively. The DP score was influenced by the participants' experience. Specifically, an experience of 1-5 years yielded a substantially higher burnout score than did an experience of >10 years (p>0.05). Conversely, sex, age, and department did not affect the DP score (p<0.05). Similarly, the EE and PA scores were not influenced by sex, age, experience, or department (p<0.05).
Burnout is prevalent among radiographers in Medina hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The EE and DP scores are moderate, while the PA score is high, indicating a suitable work environment. Policymakers should take the required steps to identify the variables contributing to employee burnout and enhance the work environment.
沙特阿拉伯的职业倦怠研究有限，尤其是在放射技师中。沙特放射技师的职业倦怠可能会对所提供的服务产生负面影响。
本研究旨在评估麦地那医院放射技师的职业倦怠情况。
这项定量横断面研究纳入了来自麦地那政府和私立医院的104名放射技师。使用由22个问题组成的《医疗人员马氏职业倦怠量表-人类服务调查》来测量职业倦怠水平。使用社会科学统计软件包（第25版）对数据进行描述性评估，并应用独立样本t检验和方差分析来评估组间差异，应用线性回归分析来评估职业倦怠水平与社会人口统计学变量（即性别、年龄、经验和科室）之间的关联。
情感耗竭（EE）和去个性化（DP）得分中等，而个人成就感（PA）得分较高，总分分别为23.53（9.32）、7.29（5.95）和29.70（1.35）。DP得分受参与者经验的影响。具体而言，1至5年的工作经验产生的职业倦怠得分显著高于10年以上工作经验者（p>0.05）。相反，性别、年龄和科室对DP得分没有影响（p<0.05）。同样，EE和PA得分不受性别、年龄、经验或科室的影响（p<0.05）。
职业倦怠在沙特阿拉伯麦地那医院的放射技师中普遍存在。EE和DP得分中等，而PA得分较高，表明工作环境适宜。政策制定者应采取必要措施，确定导致员工职业倦怠的变量，并改善工作环境。
