To assess the prevalence of burnout among radiographers, and whether demographic variables and work-related factors had any influence on burnout and perceived stress among them.
A cross-sectional quantitative survey design is adopted in this study. The participants included radiographers from Saudi Arabia. Both Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were used for data collection. Participation was voluntary, and the survey was conducted online, resulting in 322 final responses considered for the data analysis.
The mean emotional exhaustion (EE) score achieved was 26.01, representing medium burnout risk. However, the mean depersonalization (DP: = 25.25) and personal accomplishment (PA: = 23.65) represented high burnout risk among radiographers. Statistically significant differences ( < 0.05) were observed among the participants grouped by genders, age groups, nature of work type, and work experience. The mean perceived stress score for radiographers was identified to be 27.8, indicating high.
The findings underscore the critical need for targeted interventions and support mechanisms within the radiology profession, particularly focusing on younger radiographers and those with extensive work experience.
评估放射技师的倦怠发生率，以及人口统计学变量和与工作相关的因素是否对他们的倦怠和感知压力产生影响。
本研究采用了横断面定量调查设计。参与者包括来自沙特阿拉伯的放射技师。使用了 Maslach 倦怠量表（MBI）和感知压力量表（PSS）进行数据收集。参与是自愿的，调查是在线进行的，最终有 322 份回复被认为是有效的数据分析。
情绪耗竭（EE）的平均得分为 26.01，代表中等倦怠风险。然而，去人性化（DP：=25.25）和个人成就感（PA：=23.65）的平均得分代表放射技师存在高倦怠风险。按性别、年龄组、工作类型和工作经验分组的参与者之间存在统计学显著差异（<0.05）。放射技师的感知压力平均得分为 27.8，表明压力较高。
这些发现强调了在放射科专业内需要有针对性的干预和支持机制，特别是针对年轻的放射技师和具有丰富工作经验的放射技师。
