“…Despite there is no global level of burnout, some authors refer to a high level of burnout for those subjects with at least one high scale. 17,18 The importance of the definition lays in the comparability of the results with those of other works.

SUMMARY Introduction.There is currently a deficiency of physicians in pediatric intensive care units (PICU). The cause of this deficit is multifactorial, although the burnout phenomenon has been described as relevant. Objective. To analyze the situation of human resource in the pediatric intensive care units in Argentina and measure the level of burnout.Methods. An observational cross-sectional study through surveys administered electronically; the Maslach Burnout Inventory was used. Physicians that work at public o private pediatric intensive care units in Argentina during at least 24 hours per week were invited to participate. Results. A total of 162 surveys were completed (response rate 60%). We observed a high risk of burnout in emotional exhaustion in 40 therapists (25%), in fulfillment in 9 (6%), and depersonalization in 31 (19%). In combination, 66 professionals (41%) had a high risk of burnout to some extent; there were independent protective factors of this risk as to be certified in the specialty (ORA 0.38, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.75) and work in public sector PICU (ORA 0.31, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.65), while working more than 36 hours/week on duty increased the risk (ORA 1.94, 95% CI 1.1 to 3.85). Additionally, 31% said that they did not plan to continue working in intensive care, and 86% did not think to continue with on call duties in the following years. Over 60% of respondents reported that changes in professional practice (salary, staff positions, early retirement, fewer loads on call) could prolong the expectation of continuing activities in PICU. Conclusions. A significant percentage of doctors working in the PICU of Argentina have a high risk of burnout syndrome and a low expectation of continuing in the field.

Introduction.Emotional exhaustion is an important component of burnout. Burnout is common among doctors. It affects the physical and mental health of doctors, their performance and the quality of care they provide. This study aimed to investigate the level and factors associated with emotional exhaustion among doctors in pediatric practice in Malaysia. Population and methods. A self-administered questionnaire was used in this multicenter cross-sectional study. It included questions on the socio-demographics, work characteristics, Emotional Exhaustion, Perceived Stress Scale and sources of job stress. Descriptive, univariate and multivariate analysis were conducted using the SPSS software. Results. A total of 197 doctors working in the Pediatric department in eight hospitals returned complete questionnaire. High and moderate emotional exhaustion was reported by 25.4% and 24.4% doctors, respectively. In bivariate analysis, 29 out of the 38 items of sources of stress showed significant association with emotional exhaustion (p <0.05).The significant predictors of emotional exhaustion in the multivariate analysis were: scoring higher on the Perceived Stress Score, dealing with patient's psychosocial problems, disrespectful interactions with colleagues/ subordinates, lack of appreciation from supervisors, lack of incentives and promotions, time pressures and deadlines to meet, and setting unrealistic goals of having them imposed on oneself (p <0.05). The most common source of stress was dealing with difficult parents (80.2%). Conclusions. Emotional exhaustion is associated with sources of stress in the workplace but not with socio-demographic factors.

“…In our study, males, junior residents, and those working in the university hospital were at increased risk of burnout syndrome. Other authors found females at higher risk of developing burnout in an oncology study [17]. This may not apply to other rotations that deal with less life threatening illnesses.…”

“…Affected pediatric residents may develop negative attitudes toward self and professional activity, and eventually lose interest in pediatric care, have low productivity, and self-esteem. Routine exercise should be encouraged and promoted as it is associated with lower burnout scores [17] [24]. Physicians who are satisfied with their lives outside of work are also less likely to have burnout.…”

Background: Burnout syndrome is a common professional problem causing mental fatigue, depersonalization, and diminished self-value. Burnout during pediatric residency can significantly influence the resident's performance and the quality of their training. Objectives: To evaluate the burnout status of pediatric residents across Jeddah, KSA. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study involving pediatric residents across Jeddah, Saudi Arabia was conducted from the 1 st of August to 1 st of December, 2012. The Maslach Burnout Inventory was utilized in addition to questions about their work environment and lifestyle. Results: Sixty pediatric residents (67% females) were included with ages ranging between 25 -30 years (mean 26.5). They practiced in various institutions, mostly (41%) in ministry of health hospitals. Burnout scores were abnormal in 49 (82%) and in 19 (32%) the syndrome was severe. Males were more likely to reach a severe burnout category when compared to females (32% vs 19%, p = 0.01). Residents working in the university hospital (23%), were more likely to have severe burnout when compared to those working in other hospitals (p = 0.002). Junior residents (R1 and R2) were also more likely to have severe burnout when compared to senior residents (34% vs 21%, p = 0.013). Conclusions: Many pediatric residents are suffering from burnout syndrome. It is more common among males, junior residents, and those working in a university hospital setting. Specific strategies should be developed to prevent resident burnout.
