“…Based on previous findings, we explored the potential moderating effect of different sociodemographic and work-related variables, and surprisingly, none had a significant effect between the relation of burnout and mental health; even variables at the univariate level showed some significant differences. These results are in line with previous findings where the differences in separate samples were not conclusive [36,39,[51][52][53][54][55]. The role of sex, marital status, and suffering from a physical illness showed significant differences between groups in some of the indices; however, the effect sizes of those differences were not large enough to compromise the prediction.…”

“…Additional stressors during the COVID-19 pandemic are the inability to obtain protective equipment during routine clinical work [46,47] and the fear of infecting a loved one or being infected with COVID-19 [48][49][50]. However, the empirical evidence is not conclusive; as in some cases, these factors, including the number of working hours [51] or years of practice [52], did not show size effects similar to previous findings or a significant effect [39,[53][54][55].…”

Objective To explore the moderating effects of sociodemographic and work-related variables on levels of burnout and mental health among medical residents. Method A cross-sectional online survey was administered at the beginning of the second wave of COVID-19 at different public teaching hospitals where medical residents practiced in Mexico City. A total of 201 medical residents of different years completed the survey. Results Different univariate inferential analyses on the level of burnout and mental health indices showed significant differences between sex, marital status, previous reports of physical illness or psychological conditions, and residency ranking. However, the effect sizes of those differences were of low to medium size. A predictive path analysis revealed that the three stages of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and achievement dissatisfaction) negatively affect psychological wellbeing and positively affect psychological distress. Finally, even though sociodemographic variables showed some significant variation, the effect sizes were small and did not moderate the direct effect of burnout on mental health indices. Conclusions Medical residents deling with every day medical situations, will be exposed to stressors that might increase the probability to experience emotional exhaustion. This would negatively affect levels of wellbeing and positively affect distress, despite their sociodemographic characteristics.

“…Shazad et al stated the main factor of burnout as the lack of getting support from the work environment and family members. 10,11 Severe comorbidity of depression, anxiety and stress in health care workers was demonstrated by Ashraf et al 12 In the literature, many methods, mostly questionnaires, were used to evaluate the occupational burnout, job satisfaction and anxiety levels of employees. 4,13,14 Turkish EPs are facing with heavy work overloads because of overcrowding and also with abuse and injury because of patient and/or their relatives violence.…”

Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate possible differences in the levels of anxiety, burnout and job satisfaction among emergency medicine doctors based on their age, gender, employment duration, job title and institution. Methods: General practitioners, residents, specialists and faculty members working in emergency departments (ED) in Turkey were invited to participate in this questionnaire-based study through an e-mail link between September 2018 and January 2019. A total of 141 doctors from different cities of Turkey who completely filled the questionnaire with their own will were recruited for the study. The Maslach Burnout Inventory(MBI) was used to measure occupational burnout levels, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory(STAI) to measure anxiety levels and the Short Form Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (SFMSQ) to measure job satisfaction levels of doctors working in EDs. In assessing MBI; Emotional Exhaustion score(EE) is considered low for 0-11 points, moderate for 12-17 points and high >17 points; Depersonalization score is considered low for 0-5 points, moderate for 6-9 points and high ≥ 10 points; , Feeling of low personal accomplishment(PA) is considered low for 0-21 points, moderate for 22-25 points and high ≥ 26 points. In Assessing STAI; 20-49 points were considered low/ moderate anxiety and 50-80 points considered high/ very high anxiety. In assessing SFMSQ neutral job satisfaction point was reported 3; so individuals are considered extremely dissatisfied/ not satisfied (low) if job satisfaction point <3 and very/ extremely satisfied (high) if job satisfaction point >3. Results: The mean age of the study group was 33.3 (±7.3) and mean employment duration was 8.37 (±6.89). In the overall study population, the emotional exhaustion(EE) was high while depersonalization(DP) and reduction of personal accomplishment(PA) were detected at medium level in the evaluation of MBI subscales. In evaluating overall study population for STAI, state and trait anxiety scores both showed the presence of mild to moderate anxiety. The overall study population evaluation results for SFMSQ were, high levels of general and intrinsic job satisfaction and low levels of extrinsic job satisfaction was measured. Younger the age and shorter the duration of employment is found to be associated with a significant increase in EE and DP and a significant decrease in PA. Conclusion: In this study, scale results showed that doctors working in EDs had high levels of occupational burnout and anxiety, while job satisfaction levels were low. In addition, a significant relationship was found between the decrease in “age and employment duration” and the increase in “depersonalization”. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.37.3.3363 How to cite this:Sonmez LO, Gul M.

“…Studies in literature are contradictory with regard to the levels of psychological distress among pediatricians as compared to other medical specialties. A study in Pakistan indicated that pediatricians have more psychological problems than other medical specialties [15], while other studies in the United States and Egypt found the opposite [16,17]. This can be due to differences in culture and healthcare systems between countries.…”

Background. Psychological burden is well documented among medical physicians worldwide.Objectives. This study aims to assess the prevalence of psychological distress and perceived quality of care among pediatricians in the western region of Saudi Arabia. Material and methods. A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used to collect data from 251 pediatricians in the western region of Saudi Arabia. The data was collected using a self-reported questionnaire using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory to measure burnout and DASS-21 to measure depression, anxiety and stress. In addition, self-perceived care was measured using two validated questions. Results. Pediatricians had high levels of psychological distress, including burnout (80.5%), depression (66.5%), anxiety (71.3%) and stress (55%). 21.6%, 41.1%, and 16.7% of pediatricians were classified with severe or extremely severe depression, anxiety or stress, respectively. Female, junior and younger pediatricians had higher levels of burnout, depression, anxiety and stress. A total of 45.8% to 48.6% of pediatricians believed that adverse work conditions and workloads always or often lead to lost days of work and reduced work quality. Conclusions. Pediatricians in Saudi Arabia have high levels of psychological distress, with the most affected subgroups being female, junior and young pediatricians. Hospitals should provide psychological support to improve the psychological well-being of pediatricians.
