“…Our new subscale highlighted the importance of focused assessment of two dimensions particularly important in the work of anesthesiologists: to have strength and power “feel very energetic” and to positively influence the lives of their patients “feel positively influencing people's lives”. This is consistent with findings from previous studies with Serbian physicians [26] in which quality of life variables and emotional profiles were related with the problem of job stress and burnout. Furthermore, item 22 originally belonged to the DP subscale [21] but loaded as an independent factor in the current study.…”

We report findings from a validation study of the translated and culturally adapted Serbian version of Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS), for a sample of anesthesiologists working in the tertiary healthcare. The results showed the sufficient overall reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.72) of the scores (items 1–22). The results of Bartlett's test of sphericity (χ 2 = 1983.75, df = 231, p < 0.001) and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy (0.866) provided solid justification for factor analysis. In order to increase sensitivity of this questionnaire, we performed unfitted factor analysis model (eigenvalue greater than 1) which enabled us to extract the most suitable factor structure for our study instrument. The exploratory factor analysis model revealed five factors with eigenvalues greater than 1.0, explaining 62.0% of cumulative variance. Velicer's MAP test has supported five-factor model with the smallest average squared correlation of 0,184. This study indicated that Serbian version of the MBI-HSS is a reliable and valid instrument to measure burnout among a population of anesthesiologists. Results confirmed strong psychometric characteristics of the study instrument, with recommendations for interpretation of two new factors that may be unique to the Serbian version of the MBI-HSS.

“…The rate of burnout among those employed in the health care field tends to be reported in the moderate to high levels, and it is generally believed that the burnout risk in health care is higher than in the general working population. Reported burnout rates for psychiatrists are quite similar to this overall trend. Some studies have raised the possibility that psychiatrists show an even more negative risk profile for burnout than do other health care employees.…”

For example, one study found that 89% of psychiatrists had either thought about or experienced a clear threat of severe burnout.…”

Understanding the burnout experience: recent research and its implications for psychiatry

The experience of burnout has been the focus of much research during the past few decades. Measures have been developed, as have various theoretical models, and research studies from many countries have contributed to a better understanding of the causes and consequences of this occupationally-specific dysphoria. The majority of this work has focused on human service occupations, and particularly health care. Research on the burnout experience for psychiatrists mirrors much of the broader literature, in terms of both sources and outcomes of burnout. But it has also identified some of the unique stressors that mental health professionals face when they are dealing with especially difficult or violent clients. Current issues of particular relevance for psychiatry include the links between burnout and mental illness, the attempts to redefine burnout as simply exhaustion, and the relative dearth of evaluative research on potential interventions to treat and/or prevent burnout. Given that the treatment goal for burnout is usually to enable people to return to their job, and to be successful in their work, psychiatry could make an important contribution by identifying the treatment strategies that would be most effective in achieving that goal.

“…One of the variants of this concept is the "effort-reward" model, based on the premise that breaking the reciprocity between effort invested at work and material compensation is the main cause of emotional and later health problems among employees 15 . This model can be largely applied to the analysis of stress among employees in the health sector 16 . As studies show, doctors in the United States are not satisfied with their work.…”

Work-related stress among primary healthcare workers

Background/Aim. There are data on an increased stress level in primary health care workers. The aim of this paper was to investigate the state of stress among employees in the field of primary health care in order to identify the factors that most affect stress and groups that are particularly susceptible to stress. Methods. The study was conducted using a sample of 95 health care workers in the field of primary health care. Data were collected through an anonymous survey consisting of two parts. The first part of the survey included questions related to the characteristics of the workplace and professional and socio-demographic characteristics of the employees. The second part of the survey was based on the Behavioral Health Concepts (BHC) stress test, which is used to estimate the adaptation to stress across four dimensions: overall assessment, quality of life assessment, symptomatology, and level of functioning. Results. Although the total number of respondents fell under the group of moderate stress (mean = 3.97), using descriptive statistical analysis, it was discovered that, 4.2% of the respondents had an increased level of stress. The variance analysis demonstrated that there were statistically significant differences (p < 0.00) between the effects of educational variables (F = 11.68), workplace (F = 14.07) and work time (F = 9.16) on overall stress. Significant interaction between variables workplace and work time was also found [F (2.72) = 3.22; p < 0.046]. Conclusion. Primary health care employees have an increased level of stress, which depends on both the working conditions and the personal characteristics of the employees.
