Recent changes in the general practitioner contract have produced increased workload and stress, poorer mental health and reduced job satisfaction. These factors might combine to increase the level of 'burnout' among general practitioners.
This study set out to examine the extent of burnout among general practitioners.
A questionnaire was sent to all 295 Northamptonshire general practitioners seeking demographic details and including the Maslach burnout inventory. The results for the inventory were compared with the results from a sample of physicians and nurses in North America.
There was a significantly higher level of burnout among the Northamptonshire doctors compared with the North American sample. There was virtually no association between age and the level of burnout, although a small negative correlation was found between age and the depersonalization of others subscale. Part-time general practitioners showed lower levels of burnout than full-time general practitioners.
This study highlights the need to look both at the extent of burnout in young doctors during their training and at those characteristics of part-time general practitioners which might prevent burnout.
近期全科医生合同的变化导致工作量增加、压力增大、心理健康状况变差以及工作满意度降低。这些因素可能共同导致全科医生的“职业倦怠”程度上升。
本研究旨在调查全科医生职业倦怠的程度。
向北安普敦郡的所有295名全科医生发放问卷,收集人口统计学细节,并包含马氏职业倦怠量表。将该量表的结果与北美医生和护士样本的结果进行比较。
与北美样本相比,北安普敦郡医生的职业倦怠程度明显更高。年龄与职业倦怠程度之间几乎没有关联,不过在年龄与对他人去个性化子量表之间发现了微弱的负相关。兼职全科医生的职业倦怠程度低于全职全科医生。
本研究强调有必要关注年轻医生培训期间职业倦怠的程度,以及兼职全科医生可能预防职业倦怠的那些特征。
