“…The high percentage of stress that is reported by both genders in the present study is evidence of the heavy workload that is experienced by the physicians in NGHA. On the contrary, a study done in the United Kingdom concluded that both age and sex of medical doctors were not significant when measuring stress, which is associated with TMD (Goodfellow, Varnam, Rees, & Shelly, ; Sardar, ). Nonetheless, the same study concluded that the job itself for a physician is not the cause of stress.…”

The study aims to investigate signs and symptoms of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) among physicians in a tertiary health‐care center. It has estimated the level of symptomatology, determined the association with demographic data, and identified the related occupational risk factors. A cross‐sectional survey was used, and physicians of genders, all age groups, and nationalities from King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, were recruited. Subjects who had rheumatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, trigeminal neuralgia, or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) trauma were excluded. The data were collected through a self‐administered questionnaire that measured TMD severity and oral parafunctional behaviors. Fonseca's anamnestic index (FAI) and an oral validated behavior checklist were used to assess the signs and symptoms of TMD. A total of 282 physicians participated in the study, and the prevalence of TMD signs among physicians was 37% (106); among them, 88 (83%) were within the light dysfunction category. Female physicians reported significantly higher FAI than males for side‐to‐side mandibular movement (12% vs. 5%, P = 0.04), reporting ear pain (18% vs. 10%, P = 0.04), and noticing clicking when chewing or opening the mouth (35% vs. 20%, P = 0.006). Younger practitioners (28–31 years old) who reported clicking while chewing or opening the mouth tended to have reported higher TMD dysfunction (35%) than those aged 40 and above (13%; P = 0.007). Self‐reported signs of TMD were 37% among our population. Information collected from FAI is useful in early diagnosis and prevention of TMD.

“…Although several studies in the literature reported that burnout scores were higher among female compared to male physicians, some others did not demonstrate any significant effect of gender (18,20,21,26,27). Additionally, some studies reported that internet use was more common among men and their addiction scores were higher, while there are also studies reporting no significant difference (28)(29)(30)(31)(32).…”

We aimed to evaluate the level of internet use and burnout syndrome among the physicians, nurses, and other employees working at a university hospital, to demonstrate the possible relationships between these two factors, and to define the relationships between both conditions and sociodemographic variables. Methods: The population of this study was selected by simple random sampling method and sample size was calculated considering a confidence interval of and an error rate of 0.05. A self-structured questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and Internet Addiction Scale (IAS) were completed. Results: While emotional exhaustion and desensitization were significantly higher among surgical medicine physicians, emotional exhaustion levels were significantly lower among the participants who stated that their job selection was intentional. When the correlations between participants' age or their job experience and the scales were assessed, a significant negative correlation was found with internet addiction. There was a significant correlation between burnout subdimensions and internet addiction. Conclusion: This study suggests that factors such as method of preferring jobs, workload, and regular sleep, having hobbies, marriage and having children have significant effects on burnout and internet addiction.

“…This is consistent with other studies and differs from the medical profession. Goodfellow et al identified stressors within the intensive care unit (ICU) and noted that ICU nurses had significantly greater pressure from lack of career and achievement and much lower job satisfaction that junior and senior medical staff 6 . This was supported by their comments on ways to improve their jobs that included better education, increased decision making and better career pathways.…”

Anaesthetic technicians play a key role in the operating room, yet little is known about their levels of job satisfaction or workplace stress. A blinded, confidential single mail-out survey was posted to anaesthetic technicians in New Zealand. The survey consisted of demographic information, a job satisfaction survey, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Short Form 12. At total of 154 forms were returned (51% response rate). Respondents worked predominantly in public hospitals and many had duties outside the operating room. Job satisfaction was related to teamwork, practical nature of work and patient contact, while dissatisfaction was related to lack of respect from nurses and limited career pathway. High to moderate levels of emotional exhaustion (48%), depersonalisation (39%) and low levels of personal accomplishment (58%) were indicators of burnout. The Short Form 12 revealed high levels of physical impairment in 24% and emotional impairment in 35% of respondents. These data suggest that work is needed to evaluate anaesthetic assistants' job structure and actively manage their important physical and emotional sequelae.
