ImportanceThe ability to attract and retain university hospital faculty staff is in jeopardy because of the high levels of mental symptoms in this professional group.ObjectiveTo examine the prevalence and determinants of symptoms of severe burnout, job strain, and suicidal ideation in tenured associate and full professors in university hospitals.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis nationwide cross-sectional study offered online surveys to 5332 tenured university hospital faculty members in France from October 25, 2021, to December 20, 2021.ExposuresBurnout and job strain.Main Outcomes and MeasuresParticipants completed the 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory and a 12-item job strain assessment tool, reported suicidal ideation, and used visual analog scales to evaluate unidimensional parameters. The primary outcome was presence of severe burnout symptoms. Factors associated with mental health symptoms were identified by multivariable logistic regression.ResultsCompleted questionnaires were returned by 2390 of 5332 faculty members (response rate, 45%; range, 43%-46%). Tenured associate professors were a median of 40 (IQR, 37-45) years old with a sex ratio of 1:1, whereas tenured full professors were a median of 53 (IQR, 46-60) years old with a sex ratio of 1:5. Of 2390 respondents, 952 (40%) reported symptoms of severe burnout. Symptoms of job strain (296 professors [12%]) and suicidal ideation (343 professors [14%]) were also reported. Compared with full professors, significantly more associate professors reported feeling overwhelmed at work (496 [73%] vs 972 [57%]; P &lt; .001), considering resignation (365 [54%] vs 834 [49%]; P = .004), or considering a career change (277 [41%] vs 496 [29%]; P &lt; .001). Factors independently associated with less burnout were a longer time being a professor (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.97; 95% CI, 0.96-0.98 per year of age), sleeping well (aOR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.83-0.92), feeling valued by colleagues (aOR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.86-0.95 per visual analog scale point) or the public (aOR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.88-0.96 per visual analog scale point), and accepting more tasks (aOR, 0.82; 95% CI, 0.72-0.93). Factors independently associated with more burnout were having a nonclinical position (OR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.96-3.16), reporting work encroachment on private life (OR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.10-1.25), feeling the need to constantly put on a brave face (OR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.32-2.52), considering a career change (OR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.22-1.92), and having experienced harassment (OR, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.22-1.88).Conclusions and RelevanceThese findings suggest that the psychological burden on tenured university hospital faculty staff in France is considerable. Hospital administrators and health care authorities should urgently develop strategies for burden prevention and alleviation and for attraction of the next generation.

“…The 2020 Medscape National Physician Burnout and Suicide Report revealed that 46% of radiologists are burned out, as compared with 42% of all physicians [ 5 ]. Triggers of stress and burnout for radiologists include heavier workload and complexity of cases, work–life imbalance, dysfunctional workplace dynamics, computer failure and consequently lack of control of their work, discontinuities in workflow (due, e.g., to ambient sounds from equipment or computers, noise related to background conversations, and working in an inpatient or emergency room setting), and social isolation [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

Since its beginning in March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has claimed an exceptionally high number of victims and brought significant disruption to the personal and professional lives of millions of people worldwide. Among medical specialists, radiologists have found themselves at the forefront of the crisis due to the pivotal role of imaging in the diagnostic and interventional management of COVID-19 pneumonia and its complications. Because of the disruptive changes related to the COVID-19 outbreak, a proportion of radiologists have faced burnout to several degrees, resulting in detrimental effects on their working activities and overall wellbeing. This paper aims to provide an overview of the literature exploring the issue of radiologists’ burnout in the COVID-19 era.

“…Physician burnout, including among pediatric radiologists, is on the rise [ 4 ]. Flexibility in work schedule and increased autonomy provided by working from home could help in mitigating burnout by providing improved work–life balance [ 5 ].…”

“…Interestingly, working from home also resulted in increased research productivity for most participants in the SPR survey [ 1 ]. Finally, the pandemic-related stress, anxiety and burnout in general have disproportionately affected female health care workers including those in pediatric radiology [ 4 , 8 ]. Working from home provides much needed flexibility for many female (and male) radiologists who have often struggled during this pandemic with meeting and balancing the demands of professional and personal lives, especially with the inherent childcare needs that have resulted from virtual schooling and daycare closures.…”
