“…Several contributing factors to burnout were found like being a female gender, alternate-day shift, long duration of duties and incidence of end-of-life care [11,18]. This study aimed to estimate and compare the prevalence of burnout among ICU physicians and nurses at tertiary care hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and to associate different demographic characteristics with level of burnout.…”

Introduction: Medical staff, particularly those working in the intensive care unit (ICU), are among the populations most vulnerable to stress and burnout. The objective of this study was to estimate and compare the prevalence of burnout among ICU physicians and nurses at tertiary care hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 159 ICU physicians and nurses from four tertiary hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were included in the study. The study was conducted between July 2021 and March 2022. The participants were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire consisting of two sections. The first section collected demographic data, while the second section focused on assessing burnout using Maslach Burnout Inventory™️ (MBI) for Medical Personnel. Results: The overall prevalence of burnout among all participants was 60%. The mean score for emotional exhaustion (EE) was 27.93 ± 12.14, for low personal accomplishment (PA), it was 29.62 ± 9.51, and for depersonalization (DP), it was 11.46 ± 6.71. Factors identified to be associated with burnout include age, gender, job rank and type, number of shifts per week, number of hours per shift and smoking status. Conclusion: The findings of this study highlight the high risk of stress and burnout among ICU staff, characterized by exhaustion, depersonalization, and a lack of accomplishment. It is crucial for critical care societies and policymakers to take proactive measures in developing policies aimed at addressing the underlying causes of stress and reducing burnout.

“…The prevalence of BOS among ICU physicians varies widely in published literature, ranging from approximately 35% 25 to over 90%. 26 Several reasons can be identified for this discrepancy and conducting studies in various countries, which are characterised by several differences in the organisation of health systems, is one of them. Limitation of health resources, differences in the availability and the level of experience of ICU physicians and dissimilarities in their overall working environment could partially explain this variation in BOS incidence.…”

Burnout is a work-specific syndrome with high incidence among intensive care unit personnel. Although several risk factors have been proposed, data regarding the association of anxiety and burnout among intensive care unit physicians are scarce. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of burnout and its association with state and trait anxiety and other sociodemographic, behavioural and occupational-related parameters, among intensivists. A population of intensive care physicians was evaluated using the self-completed Maslach Burnout Inventory and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y, and data regarding sociodemographic and occupational-related variables were also recorded. From the 98 intensive care physicians addressed, 80 returned fully completed questionnaires; 26.9% of them presented with high emotional exhaustion, 37.5% with high depersonalisation and 41.5% with low personal accomplishment scores. Trait anxiety, fear of having committed a medical error and self-reporting difficulty when having to act accurately were independently associated with high burnout. In conclusion, burnout is common among intensivists and is associated with specific behavioural characteristics and personality traits, but not with work-related factors.

“…In Turkey, most of the researchers revealed that 'burn-out' is a significant problem for physicians. 15,16,17 Yılmaz et all reported that 'physicians working under the family medicine system, a new primary care model, are at greater risk of emotional exhaustion, but that no change has occurred in terms of personal accomplishment or depersonalization, despite this new system'. 18 Atik et al revealed that 'working conditions' were the main reason for burnout of chest physicians.…”

Amaç: Tükenmişlik sendromu özellikle sağlık çalışanları arasında önemli bir sorundur. Bireysel beceri ve başarı duygusu ne kadar yüksekse, tükenmişlik sendromu olasılığı o kadar düşüktür. Araştırmanın amacı, aile hekimlerinin tükenmişlik ve iş doyum düzeylerini ölçmektir. Yöntemler: Çalışmaya kırsal ve kentsel alanda çalışan aile hekimlerinin verileri dahil edilmiştir. Çalışma, Maslach Tükenmişlik Envanteri, Minnesota İş Doyum Anketi kullanılarak tükenmişlik ve iş doyum düzeylerini ölçmek için tasarlanmıştır. Çalışma alanı ve diğer etmenlerle ilişkileri de incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Maslach duyarsızlaşma alt ölçeği, yalnız yaşayanlarda, bulunduğu yeri kırsal olarak tanımlayanlarda ve sürekli tıp eğitimine (STE) katılmayanlarda (p=0,02, p=0,01, p=0,03) anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu. Maslach kişisel başarı puanı, bulunduğu yeri kırsal olarak tanımlayanlarda düşük (p=0,01) iken, kadınlarda ve STE'ye katılmayanlarda daha yüksek bulundu (p=0,02, p=0,03). Ayrıca yaş arttıkça Maslach duygusal tükenmişlik ve duyarsızlaşma puanları azalmakta ve kişisel başarı puanları artmaktadır (r =-0,169, -0,205, 0,163 ve p=0,00, p=0,00, p=0,00). Sonuçlar: Duygusal ve toplam tükenmişlik puanları yaşla birlikte azalmaktadır. STE'ye katılmanın kişisel başarıyı artırdığı görüldü. STE, yalnızca aile hekimlerini desteklemek için değil, aynı zamanda tükenmişliği önlemek için de yararlı bir araç olabilir.
