burnout is a syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and emotional exhaustion that occurs due to exposure to stressful conditions over a long period. It can lead to poor job performance, apathy, and lack of productivity. This study looks at the prevalence of burnout in medical interns in a tertiary hospital in South Africa and the factors that may contribute to burnout.
an analytical cross-sectional study was conducted. Medical interns working in Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in 2019 were invited to participate. The participants filled questionnaire that had demographic information, the Maslach Burnout Inventory Scale, a scale to rate the rotations that they believed contributed towards their burnout and factors they think contributed towards their burnout. Our data was analyzed using Stata.
out of a possible 165 potential participants, 101 medical interns enrolled. 95% of the participants reported burnout. Statistically significant factors contributing towards burnout were lack of resources and poor relations with support staff and senior staff. The medical rotation that was reported by the participants to contribute most towards their burnout was internal medicine.
burnout in this population of medical interns is alarmingly high. Higher than reported in similar studies in South Africa and internationally.
burnout 是一种综合征，其特征为情绪枯竭、去人格化和情感耗竭，由于长期暴露于压力环境中而发生。它可能导致工作表现不佳、冷漠和缺乏生产力。本研究探讨了南非一家三级医院的医学实习生 burnout 的患病率，以及可能导致 burnout 的因素。
进行了一项分析性横断面研究。邀请在克里斯·哈尼·巴哈旺医院工作的医学实习生参加。参与者填写了一份问卷，其中包括人口统计学信息、马斯拉赫倦怠量表、一份评估他们认为导致倦怠的轮转的量表以及他们认为导致倦怠的因素。我们的数据使用 Stata 进行分析。
在可能的 165 名潜在参与者中，有 101 名医学实习生参加了研究。95%的参与者报告有 burnout。导致 burnout 的统计学上显著因素是缺乏资源以及与支持人员和高级人员的关系不佳。参与者报告的导致他们 burnout 的轮转是内科。
该医学实习生群体中的 burnout 率高得惊人。高于南非和国际上类似研究的报告。
