“…Similarly, a study of 75 Canadian RTs found that RTs had higher burnout on two of the three scales of burnout than other cancer employees 21 , suggesting that RTs may be a clinician group particularly vulnerable to burnout. In contrast, a study of RTs in the state of Florida, USA, found that burnout on all three scales was significantly lower than US norms for doctors and nurses 22 , however, the numbers in this study were small ( n = 45). No studies were identified that examined levels of job stress or satisfaction in RTs specifically, but studies of oncology clinicians more generally found that up to 45% of clinicians reported significant amounts of stress in their jobs, while up to 74% experienced significant amounts of job satisfaction 4 , 9 , 23 .…”

“…A number of studies across a range of countries have indicated a proportion of the radiotherapy workforce maybe suffering from burnout (1)(2)(3)(4)(5). With average Emotional Exhaustion (EE) scores (from the Maslach Burnout Inventory-MBI(6)) ranging from 22.9-30.3 (1,3,4) reported across countries; MBI norm for EE is 20.9) .…”

“…In one study from Canada (Koo et al, ), RTs’ mean levels in the DP subscale place them at low burnout risk, but the corresponding mean levels in the EE place them at medium burnout risk in that subscale. Two other studies were conducted in the same country: both in Sale and Smoke () and in Smoke and Sale (), the mean EE and DP levels reported place RTs at medium risk of developing burnout in the two subscales. According to Probst et al (), RTs in the UK are at medium risk of developing burnout in the EE and DP subscales.…”

“…Out of the ten articles included in the systematic review, eight (Akroyd, Caison, & Adams, ; Demirci et al, ; Diggens & Chesson, ; Dollard, Winehel, & Winehel, ; Koo et al, ; Probst, Griffiths, Adams, & Hill, ; Sale & Smoke, ; Smoke & Sale, ), reporting nine studies, resorted to the MBI questionnaire, see Table . The percentage of RTs with high risk of burnout in the EE subscale were reported to range from 19.5% to 55%.…”
