“…The consistent gender difference (more males than females reporting coping) is thought provoking and might be caused by basic differences in professional self-esteem between the sexes [15]. Female doctors have been shown to report less work control than their male colleagues [16]. Perhaps female doctors are more aware of their professional limitations than their male colleagues?…”

“…There are inequalities in the perceptions of career satisfaction, professional equity and daily distress levels between female and male physicians that need attention. Female physicians, in comparison to men, report earning less [10,25] , experience less control over patient load and more time pressure to see their patients and, simultaneously, state that they see more patients with psychosocial problems [25,26] . Further, female physicians experience additional stressors, like discrimination, lack of role models and support, and the challenge of balancing career and family spheres.…”

“…Since female physicians report higher percentage of complex patients [25] , less control on daily aspects of practice [26] , extra challenges to achieve work-life balance [5,6,9] and professional development [6,10] , alternative payment schemes should acknowledge these factors, providing the necessary flexibility to enhance their motivation.…”

Background: Female physicians face extra challenges in their career development and tend to choose salary or other forms of alternative payment plans (APP). Fee-for-service (FFS) and APP may affect the well-being of female and male physicians differently. Three measures of well-being are: levels of career satisfaction, professional equity, and daily distress. The objectives are to identify differences in the levels of career satisfaction, fulfillment-recognition equity, and daily distress of physicians by gender and payment method, and to assess interactions between these two factors. Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2011 with physicians practicing in the Saskatoon Health Region, Saskatchewan, Canada. Resident physicians were excluded from the study. Eligible physicians completed a survey, assessing levels of daily distress, fulfillment-recognition equity, and career satisfaction as dependent variables. A multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), using the Wilks' Lambda criterion, was conducted to study differences among the dependent variables by remuneration method and gender. Multiple comparisons were performed as post-hoc tests.Results: Nearly half (382) of the 794 eligible physicians completed the questionnaire; 37.2% were female. Half were remunerated by FFS, a quarter by APP, and the remainder by blended forms. Career satisfaction and fulfillmentrecognition equity were positively correlated to each other and daily distress was negatively correlated with both. According to the MANOVA results, the dependent variables were affected by gender but not by payment method, and there was no evidence of an interaction effect between payment method and gender. Women reported lower levels of career satisfaction (p=0.01) and fulfillment-recognition equity (p=0.01), and higher levels of daily distress (p=0.03). Conclusion:Female physicians reported poorer well-being than male physicians. In contrast, no differences in the well-being were found among physicians paid by APP, blended methods, and FFS schemes. Further cross-national studies are recommended to study potential effects of APP on the identified gender inequalities.

54Araştırma Görevlilerinde Tükenmişlik Düzeyleri Ö ÖZ ZE ET T Tükenmişlik Maslach'a göre "işi gereği insanlarla yoğun bir ilişki içerisinde olanlarda görülen duygusal tükenme, duyarsızlaşma, ve düşük kişisel başarı hissi"dir. Günümüzde çalışma hayatında sık-lıkla gözlenebilecek bir olgu haline gelmiş olan tükenmişliğin analizinde kişisel değişkenler de göz önünde tutulmalıdır. Bu çalışmada uzmanlık eğitimi almakta olan araştırma görevlilerinin "tüken-mişlik düzeylerinin" saptanması ve kişisel değişkenlerle karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Uygulanan anket sosyodemografik sorular ve Maslach Tükenmişlik Ölçeği sorularından oluşmaktadır. Verilerin analizi SPSS Paket programında yapılmış olup, sayı ve yüzde dağılımları ve ortalamaları alınmıştır. Bağımlı ve bağımsız değişkenlerin karşılaştırma sonuçları şöyledir; araştırmaya katılanların tükenmişlik alt ölçek puan ortalamaları incelendiğinde duygusal tükenme puan ortalamasının orta düzeyde, duyarsızlaşma ve kişisel başarısızlık puan ortalamasının ise alt düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Yaş gruplarına göre tükenmişlik alt ölçek puanları karşılaştırıldığında, duygusal tükenme alt ölçek puanı ile yaş grupları arasında anlamlılık tespit edilmiştir. Aynı şekilde medeni durum ile duygusal tükenme alt ölçek puanı arasında anlamlılık tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmamıza katılan araştırma görevlilerinin tüken-mişlik düzeylerini, evlilik ve yaş gibi kişisel faktörlerin etkilediği görülmüştür. Hasta özerkliğine saygı, faydalı olma, zarar vermeme ve adalet gibi evrensel etik değerlerin önemi ve uygulamadaki gerekliliği konusunda şüphesi olmayarak uzmanlık öğrenciliği sürecini tamamlayan araştırma görevlilerinin meslek hayatında bilimsel ve etik açıdan hastası ile en az düzeyde sorun yaşayacağı öngörülebilir. A An na ah h t ta ar r K Ke e l li i m me e l le er r: : Doktor yardımcıları; tükenme, mesleki A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T Maslach is defined as a feeling of depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment in individuals who have an intense relationship by the job. Analyzing of burnout (exhaustion) which has become a phenomenon often observed today, in working life individual variables should be considered. This study aimed to determine "burnout levels" of research assistants who receive specialized training in medicine and to compare with individual variables. Applied questionnaire consists of demographic questions and Maslach Burnout Inventory questions. Data analysis has performed using SPSS package program, and the number, percentage distributions and mean values has obtained. Comparing results of the dependent and independent variables are as follows; when the average score for burnout subscales of participants involved in study were evaluated, mean scores of emotional burnout (exhaustion) was determined at middle level and mean scores of insensitivity and individual failure were determined at lower level. When emotional burnout (exhaustion) subscales scores compared with age, a significant difference was observed. In the same way, relationship between marital status and emo...
