“…Nonetheless, the pooled burnout prevalence was found to be 17.1% although intercountry variability was observed; Singapore, Malaysia, and Brunei had higher burnout rates (30.3-35.1%), which would be similar to the UK (37.3%) if comparisons are made using the same detection tool and criteria for burnout. 17 Interestingly, Indonesia had the lowest burnout rates but the highest outpatient and inpatient volumes in the region (Table 1). Evidently, there are "soft" and complex factors that vary with geography, and these influence how clinicians perceive and cope with stress in the face of high workloads.…”

Similar observations have been reported in Western countries; for example, 79.0% and 82.4% of all gastroenterologists are male in the UK and USA, respectively.…”
