“…In our study, the burnout rate among Pakistani orthopedic surgeons was found to be 80%. This is alarming considering the burnout rates among Indian orthopedic surgeons is 23% [ 6 ]. According to our study, 73% of post-graduate trainees had burnout while 53% of Australian orthopedic, and 50% of American post-graduate trainees are burned out [ 7 - 8 ].…”

ObjectiveBurnout is exceptionally pervasive among medical professionals, especially surgeons, and is considered the main indicator of surgeons’ fulfillment with career choice. Our objectives are to discover the extent of orthopedic specialist burnout in Pakistan and to explore the clinical impact of burnout. The efficacy of surgeons may be enhanced by implementing burnout prevention and treatment plans.Data collectionThis observational study was conducted from April 2018 to May 2018 in various tertiary care hospitals in Pakistan and includes post-graduate trainees and consultants. Those who agreed to be part of this study were asked to complete a self-structured questionnaire about demographics and burnout. The questionnaire had 28 questions based on a standard questionnaire from the American Public Welfare Association.ResultsIn our study, 15% (n=15) of respondents had advance burnout, 22% (n=22) had early burnout, and 43% (n=49) had a fair chance of burnout. All 15 participants suffering from advance burnout were consultants. Of participants suffering from early burnout, 36.3% (n=8) were consultants, and 63.7% (n=14) were post-graduate trainees.ConclusionCompared to other countries, the burnout rate is higher among Pakistani orthopedic surgeons. Special care and attention should be paid towards the stress and workload of surgeons.

“…Studies have linked higher burnout in surgeons with their overall attitude towards their training programme, reflected in poorer ratings on programme satisfaction [ 37 ] and their likelihood of recommending their programme to others [ 38 ]. Links have also been made with specific aspects of training programmes.…”

Burnout in Surgical Trainees: a Narrative Review of Trends, Contributors, Consequences and Possible Interventions

et al. 2021

Surgical disciplines are popular and training places are competitive to obtain, but trainees report higher levels of burnout than either their non-surgical peers or attending or consultant surgeons. In this review, we critically summarise evidence on trends and changes in burnout over the past decade, contributors to surgical trainee burnout, the personal and professional consequences of burnout and consider the evidence for interventions. There is no evidence for a linear increase in burnout levels in surgeons over the past decade but the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has yet to be established and is likely to be significant. Working long hours and experiencing stressful interpersonal interactions at work are associated with higher burnout in trainees but feeling more supported by training programmes and receiving workplace supervision are associated with reduced burnout. Burnout is associated with poorer overall mental and physical well-being in surgical trainees and has also been linked with the delivery of less safe patient care in this group. Useful interventions could include mentorship and improving work conditions, but there is a need for more and higher quality studies.

“…Age was assessed by nine studies, [1,20,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30] of which three found that younger age was associated with a higher risk of burnout, [1,25,29] whereas the remaining six studies failed to show a statistically significant association between age and burnout. [20,24,[26][27][28]30] Gender was evaluated by 11 studies, [1,13,19,20,22,[24][25][26][27][28][29] of which three found that females were more likely to suffer from burnout. [13,25,26] Langade et al [20] too reported an association between females and burnout, though statistical analysis was not performed.…”

“…The other seven studies did not find any significant association between burnout and gender. [1,19,22,24,[27][28][29] Jugale et al, [1] Shetty et al, [27] and Sreelatha et al [28] evaluated the association between marital status and burnout and found that unmarried respondents were more likely to have burnout. A number of other closely related factors, such as longer working hours, [20,26] professional dissatisfaction, [25,26] perceived stress, [23] low remuneration, [20] lack of time for leisure activities, [26] disturbed sleep-wake cycle, [16] and lack of respect at work [20,22] were also mentioned as risk factors for burnout.…”

Background: With increasing workload and dismal working conditions, healthcare professionals (HCPs) in India often suffer from burnout. Understanding the extent of these problems and the contributing factors is necessary to build a healthy workforce capable of serving the society. The purpose of this study was to systematically review and analyze: 1) the prevalence of burnout among HCPs in India and 2) the factors associated with burnout in this population. Methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE and EMBASE, from the inception of these databases to October 2019, was conducted using keywords. The search results were screened to identify studies evaluating burnout among HCPs in India using a standard burnout tool. Using a random effect model, the pooled prevalence of burnout was estimated using Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) in three domains: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA). Risk factors for burnout were assessed qualitatively. Results: A total of 15 studies assessing burnout in 3845 Indian HCPs were identified. The pooled prevalence of burnout was 24% in the EE domain, 27% in the DP domain, and 23% in the PA domain. Younger age, female gender, unmarried status, and difficult working conditions were associated with increased risk of burnout. Conclusion: Burnout is highly prevalent among Indian HCPs, with close to one-fourth of them suffering from burnout. A number of personal and professional factors are associated with burnout, and these should be considered while developing solutions to tackle burnout.
