“…This speaks for a lower effort-reward-imbalance in our sample (18% in 2016). Also, the proportion of intensive care physicians in our companion study with an effort-reward-imbalance was higher compared to the sample of psychiatrists (intensive care physicians 2016: 14.7%, psychiatrists 2016: 7.4%) ( 41 ). Our results speak against higher occupational stress levels among the psychiatrists we surveyed compared to data from other professional groups and physicians in other specialties which were roughly collected in the same period.…”

“…A companion study of intensive care physicians provided similar evidence that lower weekly working hours and more weekends off may have a positive influence on the occupational stress of physicians ( 41 ). As in the present sample, correlation analyses showed that more working hours per week and working days on weekends were associated with an increased effort-reward-imbalance and higher burnout scores in intensive care physicians.…”

Background: Physicians, especially psychiatrists, have a high risk of job-related stress, and mental impairment. In our study we examined changes in private and occupational stress factors and mental health within a decade. The legislative reduction of physicians' working hours in Germany during this period made it possible to investigate the impact of working hours in particular.Methods: Questionnaires were administered at two psychiatrist meetings (2006 and 2016) about job and family situation, depressiveness, burnout and effort-reward imbalance. A total of N = 1,797 datasets were analyzed.Results: Working hours and free weekends were associated with mental health indices. Correlation analyses showed that a reduction in weekly working hours and working days at weekends was related to reduced scores for effort-reward-imbalance, burnout and depression.Conclusions: Our data show changes in workplace stress and mental health in psychiatrists in a decade in which a reduction in working hours has been required by law. These results can provide indications of effective prevention strategies in the professional context of physicians working in psychiatry.

“…In order to change this development and maintain patient care on a sufficient level, it has been argued that flexible working time arrangements may provide security, psychological compensation and relief in order to decrease negative consequences of workload [4][5][6]. Currently, physicians Bodendieck et al BMC Health Services Research (2022) 22:1082 -especially younger generations -wish for more flexibility, as well as the possibility to work part-time [7].…”

Background Changes in everyday work with regard to working time models have reached the medical profession. The number of physicians working part-time is steadily increasing. At the same time, however, the population's need for care is also rising. This can reinforce the impending shortage of doctors in the future. The aim was to investigate differences in work-privacy conflict and burnout among physicians working full-time or part-time. Method The present study includes data from a baseline survey of the long-term study of physicians with different medical backgrounds. The analysis focused on a sub-sample of 598 physicians (not self-employed). The two main outcomes under investigation—burnout and work-privacy conflict—were measured using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory adapted for health care professionals, as well as the associated subscale of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ). Data analyses included descriptive statistics followed by regression models. Results Descriptive analyses show, that 31.8% of physicians are working part-time, whereas 68.2% are working full-time. The part-time subsample is significantly older, and female physicians are more likely to work part-time. With regard to workload and work-privacy conflict, significant differences between part-time and full-time physicians were only observed in terms of work-privacy-conflict. However, regression analysis underline the importance of possible confounding variables (such as medical setting) within the relationship between job size and job-related well-being. Discussion Differences in working hour arrangements (full-time or part-time work) are only accompanied by less work-privacy conflict. No differences with regard to burnout (patient-related, work-related or personal) could be obtained. Rather, the data suggests that other job-related variables may play a role and should be further investigated.

“…Um estudo adicional realizado com médicos intensivistas forneceu evidências semelhantes: menos horas de trabalho semanais podem ter influência positiva no estresse ocupacional dos médicos. Esse estudo demonstrou também que mais finais de semana de folga contribuem igualmente para a redução de burnout 29 .…”

Introdução. A Síndrome de Burnout foi originalmente definida como uma resposta ao estresse continuado e de longa data devido a condições desfavoráveis de trabalho; embora compartilhem semelhanças com outros especialistas, os psiquiatras têm características únicas que podem representar maior risco para o esgotamento profissional. Objetivo. Avaliar a prevalência da Síndrome de Burnout entre médicos psiquiatras por meio de revisão sistemática da literatura e descrever a produção científica sobre este tema. Método. Revisão integrativa, conduzida pela seguinte questão: Qual é a prevalência da síndrome de burnout em médicos psiquiatras no mundo? As pesquisas foram realizadas nas bases de dados MEDLINE via Pubmed; SciVerse Scopus e Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). Foram incluídos estudos transversais, que utilizaram questionários validados, publicados nos últimos 10 anos em português, espanhol e inglês. Resultados. Foi encontrada uma discrepância da prevalência de Burnout entre os estudos. Os médicos psiquiatras que trabalham exclusivamente na área clínica e do gênero masculino foram os mais acometidos pela síndrome. A prevalência de Burnout variou entre 5 e 86,6% entre os estudos incluídos nesta revisão. Conclusões. Esses achados impedem conclusões definitivas sobre a prevalência de burnout entre médicos psiquiatras. Destaca-se a necessidade de um instrumento mais específico e padronizado para a aferição de burnout. Todavia, fica evidente para a prevenção da síndrome de Burnout a importância de uma gestão diligente das jornadas laborativas, o aperfeiçoamento das habilidades de supervisão dos gestores e a busca pela satisfação profissional.
