The impact of physician burnout on the quality of patient care is unclear. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence of burnout in family physicians in Croatia and its association with physician and practice characteristics, and patient enablement as a consultation outcome measure. Hundred and twenty-fi ve out of 350 family physicians responded to our invitation to participate in the study. They were asked to collect data from 50 consecutive consultations with their adult patients who had to provide information on patient enablement (Patient Enablement Instrument). Physicians themselves provided their demographic and professional data, including workload, job satisfaction, consultation length, and burnout [Maslach Burnout Inventory -Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS )]. MBI-HSS scores were analysed in three dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalisation (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA). Of the responding physicians, 42.4 % scored high for EE burnout, 16.0 % for DP, and 15.2 % for PA. Multiple regression analysis showed that low job satisfaction and more patients per day predicted high EE scores. Low job satisfaction, working more years at a current workplace, and younger age predicted high DP scores. Lack of engagement in education and academic work, shorter consultations, and working more years at current workplace predicted low PA scores, respectively (P<0.05 for each). Burnout is common among family physicians in Croatia yet burnout in our physicians was not associated with patient enablement, suggesting that it did not affect the quality of interpersonal care. Job satisfaction, participation in educational or academic activities and suffi cient consultation time seem to reduce the likelihood of burnout.

Arh Hig Rada Toksikol 2013;64:255-264 Burnout is a psychological syndrome developed in response to exposure to continuing interpersonal stressors, usually in jobs involving intense interaction with people. Burnout is characterised by feelings of emotional exhaustion (emotional overextension and d e p l e t i o n o f o w n e m o t i o n a l r e s o u r c e s ) , depersonalisation (negative feelings and attitudes toward clients) and reduced sense of personal accomplishment (negative self-evaluation in terms of productivity at work) (1, 2).

“…High physician turnover has many negative consequences, such as substantial financial losses, patient dissatisfaction, and worsened physician morale (1). High demands at work have been found to be associated with physicians' turnover intentions (2). Physicians' work has been shown to be very or extremely stressful (3).…”

“…4 Moreover, rural family physicians have reported increased workload and professional isolation as two of the factors that have led them to experience work dissatisfaction, leave rural family practice, or both. 5 Numerous strategies have been employed to increase retention rates of rural family physicians, including increasing the number of locums available, providing specific skills training, enhancing community appeal, and instigating multidoctor communities. 5 For example, the Community Apgar Questionnaire was designed to help communities From the Family Medicine Residency of Idaho (AJR, DS, TE); and the Center for Health Policy, Boise State University (EB, AN), Boise, Idaho.…”

Background: One potential psychological construct, grit, may help to explain the non-cognitive traits that account for both rural physician satisfaction and retention. We investigated (1) the psychological construct grit among rural and non-rural primary care/specialty care physicians, (2) satisfaction levels and (3), the relationship between the psychological construct grit and satisfaction across combinations of rural/non-rural and primary care/specialty care physicians.Methods :
