“…As previously mentioned, burnout is a significant mental health indicator because physicians with a high risk of burnout tend to have the intention to change jobs [17], be affected by job dissatisfaction [18] and provide low-quality patient care [19,20]. Among dentists, high job strain has a significantly higher odds ratio for burnout [39].…”

“…Burnout is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and negative self-evaluation among various professionals involved in people-oriented services, including health care staff such as physicians [15,16]. Physicians' burnout status has been reported to be associated with the intention to change jobs [17], job dissatisfaction [18] and low-quality patient care [19,20]. A review described burnout as more job-related and situation-specific than general IJOMEH 2014;27(6) 982 3.…”

Objectives: Days off, on call, night duty, working hours and job stress can affect physicians' mental health, and support from supervisors and co-workers may have a buffering effect. This study elucidates whether job strain and job factors affect physicians' mental health, and whether support from supervisors and co-workers has a protective effect on their mental health. Material and Methods: The subjects included 494 physicians. The Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (BJSQ) was used to evaluate job demand, job control and support. High job strain was defined as a combination of high job demand and low job control. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. The Maslach Burnout InventoryGeneral Survey was used to evaluate burnout. Possible confounder adjusted logistic regression analyses were performed to obtain odds ratios for depressive symptoms and burnout. Results: As per the analysis, high job strain had significantly higher odds ratios, and support from co-workers had significant protective odds ratios for depressive symptoms. High job strain and having only 2-4 days off per month (compared to > 8 days off per month) had significantly higher odds ratios, and support from co-workers had significant protective odds ratios for burnout. Conclusions: High job strain was related to depressive symptoms and burnout, and support from co-workers had a buffering effect on depressive symptoms and burnout. An inadequate number of days off was related to burnout. Assessment of job strain may be a good tool to measure physicians' mental health, and a sufficient number of days off may be needed to prevent burnout.

“…6,7 Studies carried out internationally have documented that between 22% and 60% of doctors reported experiencing burnout. [8][9][10][11][12] Locally conducted studies have been small in size, and have used a wide variety of measuring instruments, limiting the extrapolation of findings and comparisons across studies. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] A national survey on randomly selected South African medical practitioners (n = 402 doctors) conducted in 2003, documented high levels of burnout (emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation).…”

Aim: This study investigated burnout and depression in medical doctors in the context of work-related conditions and the role of resilience as a modifiable factor. Method:A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted on consenting medical doctors (n = 132) working at Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality primary healthcare facilities of the Provincial Government of the Western Cape. Data were collected from doctors at 27 facilities by means of a self-administered questionnaire battery, containing socio-demographic information, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC).Results: Of 132 doctors included in the analysis, 76% experienced burnout, as indicated by high scores in either the emotional exhaustion or depersonalisation subscales. In addition, 27% of doctors had cut-off scores on the BDI indicating moderate depression, while 3% were identified to have severe depression. The number of hours, work load, working conditions and system-related frustrations were ranked as the most important contributing factors to burnout. More experienced doctors and those with higher resilience scores had lower levels of burnout, as evident by their lower scores in the emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation domains of the MBI.Conclusion: Both burnout and depression are prevalent problems in doctors working at district level and in communities. Resilience appears to be protective and may be a useful target for future intervention.Peer reviewed.

“…The disadvantages of the St Leonard's system are that the intervention is not standardised and that there are variations between the six doctor partners operating it. It is not yet known how easy it will be to roll it out into other family practices more widely and it may be difficult where morale is low or burnout amongst the doctors is a serious problem (Soler et al, 2008). Marteau (1990) notes that the receipt of an invitation to participate in a cancer or general health screening programme can be enough to evoke anxiety for some patients.…”
