Burnout is among the most common problems faced in the veterinary profession, which is in constant contact with animals and people. It is already known that job satisfaction is the leading factor that affects professional burnout.
The present study aimed to determine the job satisfaction and burnout levels of veterinarians working in Türkiye, to uncover the factors that might affect job satisfaction and burnout levels and to understand whether there is a relationship between job satisfaction and burnout levels.
This cross-sectional study was conducted with 2276 veterinarians using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire.
It was found that participants who were older, who had more years of experience in the profession, who were parents and who had higher incomes had lower burnout levels. Job satisfaction was mainly influenced by income level. Working in academia was found to be associated with lower levels of burnout, whereas working in a municipality was associated with higher levels of burnout. It was also found that having chosen the profession willingly and thinking of wanting to be a veterinarian again if given the chance was associated with lower levels of burnout and higher job satisfaction.
It has been concluded that job satisfaction and burnout levels in veterinarians affect each other.
职业倦怠是兽医行业面临的最常见问题之一，该行业始终与动物和人密切接触。众所周知，工作满意度是影响职业倦怠的首要因素。
本研究旨在确定在土耳其工作的兽医的工作满意度和职业倦怠水平，揭示可能影响工作满意度和职业倦怠水平的因素，并了解工作满意度与职业倦怠水平之间是否存在关联。
本横断面研究使用马氏职业倦怠量表和明尼苏达满意度问卷对2276名兽医进行了调查。
研究发现，年龄较大、从业年限较长、为人父母且收入较高的参与者职业倦怠水平较低。工作满意度主要受收入水平影响。在学术界工作与较低的职业倦怠水平相关，而在市政部门工作则与较高的职业倦怠水平相关。研究还发现，自愿选择该职业且如果有机会愿意再次成为兽医的人职业倦怠水平较低且工作满意度较高。
得出的结论是，兽医的工作满意度和职业倦怠水平相互影响。
