“…Numerous studies showed that female physicians had a higher prevalence of burnout from countries including America, China, Sweden, Nigeria, etc. ( Norlund et al, 2010 ; Dyrbye et al, 2011 ; Aguwa et al, 2014 ; Granek et al, 2016 ; Huang et al, 2019 ; Eden et al, 2020 ; Gold et al, 2021 ; Lee et al, 2021 ; McPeek-Hinz et al, 2021 ). A few other studies reported only marginal gender differences in physician burnout prevalence ( Linzer et al, 2002 ; te Brake et al, 2003 ; Śliwiński et al, 2014 ; El Ghaziri et al, 2019 ; Doraiswamy et al, 2021 ).…”

“…For example, previous studies have used the Shirom Melamed Burnout Questionnaire ( Norlund et al, 2010 ), Freudenberger Burnout Scale ( Aguwa et al, 2014 ), Mini-Z burnout scale ( Gold et al, 2021 ), Utrechtse Burnout Schaal ( te Brake et al, 2003 ), or Burnout Scale Inventory ( Śliwiński et al, 2014 ). Others used one or two items to measure burnout ( Granek et al, 2016 ; El Ghaziri et al, 2019 ; Eden et al, 2020 ; McPeek-Hinz et al, 2021 ). Huang et al used a 7-point Likert scale for MBI-HSS, ranging from 1 to 7, instead of 0 to 6 ( Ma et al, 2019 ).…”

“…In healthcare settings, several studies showed significant gender differences in physician burnout prevalence and associated factors. A few studies found that female health workers had a higher risk of burning out ( Aguwa et al, 2014 ; Granek et al, 2016 ; Eden et al, 2020 ; Loscalzo et al, 2021 ; McPeek-Hinz et al, 2021 ), and some suggested that educational level, socioeconomic status and working hours were associated with burnout in female physicians ( Norlund et al, 2010 ). On the contrary, a few studies found no gender differences in physician burnout ( Linzer et al, 2002 ; te Brake et al, 2003 ; Doraiswamy et al, 2021 ).…”

ObjectiveTo survey the prevalence of burnout in a national sample of endocrinologists in China and to examine its correlates, with a special focus on gender differences.MethodsAn anonymous online survey was conducted among endocrinologists in 31 provincial government-owned “People’s Hospitals” of each province in mainland China. Demographic and work-related factors were collected from participants. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) was used to assess burnout, including emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and reduced personal accomplishment (PA).ResultsA total of 711 endocrinologists (72.1% were female and mean age was 39.63 ± 8.51 years old) completed the survey. Burnout was reported by 32.8% of the participants. There were no significant gender differences in the overall prevalence of burnout or EE, DP, and PA (all p > 0.05). A multi-level linear regression revealed: (1) In male participants, PA was significantly associated with age (β = 0.03, p = 0.003), DP was inversely associated with age (β = −0.06, p = 0.005), EE was significantly associated with shorter sleep duration (β = −0.25, p = 0.006), and longer work hours (β = 0.01, p = 0.016). (2) In females, PA was significantly associated with age (β = 0.01, p = 0.038), EE and DP were both significantly associated with shorter sleep duration (β = −0.19, p = 0.001; and β = −0.15, p = 0.011, respectively). EE and DP were also associated with work hours (β = 0.02, p < 0.001; and β = 0.01, p < 0.001, respectively).ConclusionNearly one-third of endocrinologists in China experienced burnout. Although there were no significant gender differences in the prevalence of overall burnout or EE, DP, and PA scores, male and female participants differed in factors associated with EE, DP, and PA. Interventions need to be tailored to target different aspects in male and female endocrinologists and target different subgroups.

“… 71 Also, organizations may need to consider tailoring interventions to individual-level differences, like physician gender. 72 Even interventions administered at the organization level must be tailored to the organization’s individual characteristics, and so a “one size fits all” strategies may not be effective. 65 …”

Current literature validates the magnitude of physician burnout as a complex challenge affecting physicians, patients, and healthcare delivery that mandates science-informed intervention. Physician burnout affects both individual practitioners and patient care delivery. Interventions, defined as roadmaps, to prioritizing and supporting personal wellbeing encompass organizational, individual, and moral injury, with virtually no consensus on optimal approaches. The purpose of this conceptual review is to present evidence-based innovative insights on contributing factors, mitigation, and designing adaptive systems to combat and prevent burnout. Science-informed policy initiatives that support long-term organizational changes endorsed by both leadership and institutional stakeholders are keys to sustaining personal wellbeing and ending burnout.

“…The risk of burnout is higher in women, therefore, different regulations are needed in HCWs according to gender in order to reduce burnout 32 . The relationship between burnout and gender in 10 studies included in our meta-analysis: This issue was not addressed in 2 studies 16,19 , total burnout was evaluated in 2 studies 22,23 , means were used instead of proportions in 1 study 17 , correlation analysis was performed in 1 study 15 general linear model was evaluated in 1 study 16 and only 3 studies included the ratios of burnout components by gender 14,18,21 .…”

conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic, threaten the lives and physical well-being of healthcare workers (HCWs), and also their mental health, such as burnout, etc. which is often neglected. The aim of this review is to analyze published studies on the proportion of burnout among HCWs during the first wave of the COVID-19. Materials and Methods: We conducted a systematic review of studies that reported burnout (measured by Maslach Burnout Inventory) among HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic and searched PubMed, PsycINFO, and WOS of relevant articles up to Feb 25th, 2021. Out of 145 non-duplicate studies, 10 were included in the meta-analysis. Results: The overall estimated pooled proportion for emotional exhaustion (EE) was 31% (95% CI: 24%-40%), for depersonalization (DP) was 28% (95% CI: 23%-38%) and 22% (95% CI: 13%-34%) for personal accomplishment (PA). The results show that in countries where the number of cases is high and the number of beds and doctors is low, the level of EE appears to be slightly lower and PA is slightly higher. However, there were no significant differences according to subgroup analyses. Conclusion: Evidence from early studies highlight the fact that a significant proportion of HCWs suffers from burnout during this pandemic. It will be necessary to pay close attention to HCWs' mental health and identify ways to reduce risks and prepare a rehabilitation program for the HCWs during and after the pandemic.
