Burnout is a syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a reduced sense of accomplishment, which commonly arises from chronic workplace stress in the medical field. Given the higher risk of burnout in younger age groups reported in some studies, the Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) Young Investigator (YI) and Wellness Committees combined efforts to examine burnout in the SNO YI membership to better understand and address their needs.
We distributed an anonymous online survey to SNO members in 2019. Only those meeting the definition of a YI were asked to complete the survey. The survey consisted of questions about personal and professional characteristics as well as the validated Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) questionnaire. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate analyses, and incorporation of previously defined burnout profiles.
Data were analyzed for 173 participants who self-identified as YI. Measures of burnout showed that YI members scored higher on emotional exhaustion and depersonalization compared to normative population but similar to those in a prior SNO general membership survey. With respect to burnout profiles, 30% of YI respondents classified as overextended and 15% as burnout. Organizational challenges were the most common contributors to stress.
Similar to results from a previous survey completed by general SNO membership, the prevalence of burnout among neuro-oncology clinical and research YI is high, and is mainly characterized by overextension, warranting interventions at institutional and organizational levels.
职业倦怠是一种以情感耗竭、去个性化和成就感降低为特征的综合征，通常源于医疗领域长期的工作场所压力。鉴于一些研究报告称年轻年龄组职业倦怠风险较高，神经肿瘤学会（SNO）青年研究者（YI）委员会和健康委员会共同努力，对SNO青年研究者成员的职业倦怠情况进行调查，以更好地了解并满足他们的需求。
2019年，我们向SNO成员发放了一份匿名在线调查问卷。只有符合青年研究者定义的成员被要求完成该调查。该调查包括有关个人和专业特征的问题，以及经过验证的马氏职业倦怠量表-人类服务调查（MBI-HSS）问卷。统计分析包括描述性统计、单变量和多变量分析，以及纳入先前定义的职业倦怠类型。
对173名自我认定为青年研究者的参与者的数据进行了分析。职业倦怠测量结果显示，与正常人群相比，青年研究者成员在情感耗竭和去个性化方面得分更高，但与之前SNO普通成员调查的结果相似。关于职业倦怠类型，30%的青年研究者受访者被归类为过度劳累，15%被归类为职业倦怠。组织挑战是压力最常见的成因。
与SNO普通成员之前完成的一项调查结果相似，神经肿瘤临床和研究领域青年研究者的职业倦怠患病率很高，主要特征是过度劳累，需要在机构和组织层面进行干预。
