“…This may reflect higher levels of frustration on assuming this role, a deficit in training/experience, or simply increased working hours. This has not been previously shown in surgery but studies, including this one, report inadequate support and communication with hospital management as playing a role in burnout amongst medical and nursing staff [26][27][28][29]. Interestingly, participation in research seems to be protective against the effects of burnout.…”

ObjectivesTo determine the incidence of 'burnout' among UK and Irish urological consultants and non-consultant hospital doctors (NCHDs). The second objective was to identify possible causative factors and to investigate the impact of various vocational stressors that urologists face in their day-to-day work and to establish whether these correlate with burnout. The third objective was to develop a new questionnaire to complement the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), more specific to urologists as distinct from other surgical/medical specialties, and to use this in addition to the MBI to determine if there is a requirement to develop effective preventative measures for stress in the work place, and develop targeted remedial measures when individuals are affected by burnout. Subjects and methodsA joint collaboration was carried out between the Irish Society of Urology (ISU) and the British Association of Urological Surgeons (BAUS). Anonymous voluntary questionnaires were sent to all current registered members of both governing bodies. The questionnaire comprised two parts: the first part encompassed sociodemographic data collection and identifying potential risk factors for burnout, and the second used the MBI to objectively assess for workplace burnout. To evaluate differences in burnout, 2 9 2 contingency tables and Fischer's exact probability tests were used. ResultsIn all, 575 urologists responded to the online survey out of a total of 1380 invites, yielding a 42% response rate. All respondents were aged <75 years (median age 45 years), with men representing 87.5% of respondents. In all, 75% of respondents worked in England, followed by the Republic of Ireland (9%), Scotland (8%), Northern Ireland (4%), and Wales (3%). In all, 79% of respondents were consultants, with 13% representing training posts, and 40% of respondents held a professorship/clinical lead position. Respondents' countries of origin included England, Scotland, Ireland, India, Wales, Malaysia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Overall, the mean emotion exhaustion (EE) score was 23.5, representing a moderate level of EE. The mean depersonalisation (DP) score was 8.2, representing a moderate level of DP. The mean personal achievement (PA) score was 17.1, representing high levels of PA. In all, 86 respondents (15%) reported self-medication with non-prescription drugs or alcohol to combat signs and symptoms of burnout, while 46 (8%) sought professional help for symptoms of burnout. In all, 460 respondents (80%) felt that burnout should be evaluated amongst members of the ISU/BAUS, and 345 (60%) would avail of counselling if provided. ConclusionsThis is the first study to address the issue of burnout across two separate health systems in the UK and Ireland. This study has shown previously undescribed high levels of burnout characterised by EE and DP, with associated significant levels of self-medication amongst a malepredominant cohort. Burnout was attributed to non-surgical administrative/institutional factors, with most respondents reporting support for staf...

“…1 Burnout has been shown to be common in medical professionals at all stages of training and practice. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Furthermore, burnout has been associated with suboptimal patient care practices, 8 medical errors, 9 and reduced empathy. 10 The most widely used, well-validated instrument for the assessment of burnout is the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI).…”

BACKGROUND: Burnout has negative effects on work performance and patient care. The current standard for burnout assessment is the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), a well-validated instrument consisting of 22 items answered on a 7-point Likert scale. However, the length of the MBI can limit its utility in physician surveys. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the performance of two questions relative to the full MBI for measuring burnout. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS:Cross-sectional data from 2,248 medical students, 333 internal medicine residents, 465 internal medicine faculty, and 7,905 practicing surgeons. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:The single questions with the highest factor loading on the emotional exhaustion (EE) ("I feel burned out from my work") and depersonalization (DP) ("I have become more callous toward people since I took this job") domains of burnout were evaluated in four large samples of medical students, internal medicine residents, internal medicine faculty, and practicing surgeons. Spearman correlations between the single EE question and the full EE domain score minus that question ranged from 0.76-0.83. Spearman correlations between the single DP question and the full DP domain score minus that question ranged from 0.61-0.72. Responses to the single item measures of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization stratified risk of high burnout in the relevant domain on the full MBI, with consistent patterns across the four sampled groups.CONCLUSIONS: Single item measures of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization provide meaningful information on burnout in medical professionals.

Partnering in research across disciplines and across countries can be challenging due to differing contexts of practice and culture. This study sought to demonstrate how central constructs that have application across disciplines and countries can be studied while concurrently considering context. Groups of nurses from Botswana, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, and Spain partnered to identify how to measure the constructs of caring for self, burnout, and compassion fatigue, replicating a study by Johnson (2012), who found that caring for self had a moderately strong negative relationship with both compassion fatigue and burnout. While these constructs were of interest to all five groups, the conversation of contextual influences varied. All five groups used the same instruments to measure the central constructs. Levels of burnout and compassion fatigue varied by country but were moderated by caring for self. Partnering across countries made it possible to understand that caring for self moderates the negative impact of burnout and compassion fatigue in all five countries. This study gives insight into methods for partnering across disciplines and contexts.
