To evaluate the influence of job demands and resources on burnout risk among Italian pediatric neuropsychiatrists. This cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2023 and February 2024 and involved Italian pediatric neuropsychiatrists. The study applied the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model to assess the impact of job demands (such as work-family conflict, time pressure, and job uncertainty) and job resources (like organizational support and perceived job meaning) on burnout. Burnout was measured through emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment subscales. Demographic data, including gender and career stage, were analyzed for their association with burnout. High job demands were significantly associated with increased emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, while greater job resources correlated with lower burnout levels and higher personal accomplishment. Gender differences emerged, with female neuropsychiatrists reporting significantly higher emotional exhaustion and lower personal accomplishment than male neuropsychiatrists. Seniority was not a strong predictor, but early-career professionals, particularly residents, exhibited higher susceptibility to emotional exhaustion. Perceived job meaning and organizational support were protective factors across all burnout subscales, buffering the effects of job demands. Burnout risk in Italian pediatric neuropsychiatrists is shaped by both job demands and resources. Addressing work-family conflict, job uncertainty, and time pressure alongside enhancing organizational support and fostering job meaning is crucial to mitigate burnout. Special attention should be given to early-career professionals and female neuropsychiatrists to reduce their emotional exhaustion and improve their well-being. These findings provide valuable insights for developing targeted strategies to improve well-being in this field, ultimately enhancing patient care.
评估工作要求和资源对意大利儿科神经精神科医生职业倦怠风险的影响。这项横断面研究于2023年12月至2024年2月进行，涉及意大利儿科神经精神科医生。该研究应用工作要求-资源（JD-R）模型来评估工作要求（如工作与家庭冲突、时间压力和工作不确定性）和工作资源（如组织支持和感知到的工作意义）对职业倦怠的影响。通过情感耗竭、去个性化和个人成就感分量表来衡量职业倦怠。分析了包括性别和职业阶段在内的人口统计学数据与职业倦怠的关联。高工作要求与情感耗竭和去个性化的增加显著相关，而更多的工作资源与较低的职业倦怠水平和较高的个人成就感相关。出现了性别差异，女性神经精神科医生报告的情感耗竭明显高于男性神经精神科医生，个人成就感则低于男性。资历不是一个强有力的预测因素，但早期职业专业人员，尤其是住院医生，表现出对情感耗竭更高的易感性。感知到的工作意义和组织支持是所有职业倦怠分量表的保护因素，缓冲了工作要求的影响。意大利儿科神经精神科医生的职业倦怠风险受到工作要求和资源的共同影响。解决工作与家庭冲突、工作不确定性和时间压力，同时加强组织支持和培养工作意义，对于减轻职业倦怠至关重要。应特别关注早期职业专业人员和女性神经精神科医生，以减少他们的情感耗竭并改善他们的幸福感。这些发现为制定有针对性的策略以改善该领域的幸福感提供了宝贵的见解，最终提高患者护理质量。
