“…Practice-related stress may lead to physician burnout, family problems, decreased quality of patient care, depression, and professional impairment because of illicit drug or alcohol abuse. Burnout has been reported in 25.2% of ophthalmologists, 19 30-40% of general surgeons, 12 and 50-60% of orthopedic surgeons. 12 Career satisfaction among 16 surgical specialties included pediatrics (86% to 96%), endocrinology (96%), orthopedic surgery (80%), vascular surgery (64%) and plastic surgery (33%).…”

“…[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Unfortunately, few studies regarding stress among ophthalmic surgeons have been published in the literature. [19][20][21][22] The present study aims to improve our understanding of surgeon-related stress that occurs during phacoemulsification. The primary goals of the study are as follows: (1) identify patient-related factors that cause surgeon stress during phacoemulsification; and (2) evaluate the relationship between these factors and the surgeon's reported stress levels.…”

Purpose: To determine the patient-related factors that contribute to surgeon stress during phacoemulsification cataract extraction (PCE) performed under unassisted topical anesthesia. Methods: This is a prospective study of perceived surgeon stress during phacoemulsification by a single surgeon of consecutive patients undergoing PCE. At the conclusion of each procedure, the surgeon recorded the perceived stress according to the following three indices: surgeon score, qualitative score (yes or no), and total score (sum of itemized causes of stress). Patient variables included in the analysis included gender, age, diabetes mellitus, morbid obesity, intake of oral alpha blockers, floppy iris, laterality, pseudo-exfoliation, intraocular lens power, and initial visual acuity. Results: During the 10-year study, 1097 eyes underwent surgery. The following patient variables were seen frequently: floppy iris syndrome (92), pseudo-exfoliation (72), and morbid obesity (36). Surgeon identified stress was reported after 250 procedures. On multivariable analysis, the following patient characteristics were associated with surgeon stress: age >80 years; morbid obesity; floppy iris syndrome; severe nuclear sclerosis; and poor baseline distance corrected visual acuity. Conclusion: Several ocular and systemic patient-related characteristics contribute to surgeon stress during PCE.

“…Ophthalmology is a high-tech and fast advancing branch of medicine, and its recent advances have raised the bar of expectations for successful treatment of eye disorders for patients. However, significant workload [13] and demand for constant learning in order to comply with best practices and standards in medical care may become stressors for physicians [14].…”

Background: The job-related burnout rate in eye care workers has been consistently rising. That is why it is important to develop psychodiagnostic instruments for detecting stress reactions, and to make them psychometrically adapted to the social and cultural realities of the Ukrainian professional environment. Purpose: To develop an inventory for measuring stress reactions, to customize it to eye care workers and the realities of our nation, to psychometrically analyze it, and to estimate its relationships with job satisfaction indices. Materials and Methods: The study sample consisted of the eye care workers from the Filatov institute. Two hundred and eleven eye care workers were included in the study. The response rate for the inventory was 85.8% (181/211). The 181 responders included 99 nursing staff members and 82 physicians (ophthalmologists). The study was conducted with the use of the modified version of the Student-life Stress Inventory (SSI) by Gadzella. Results: The Stress Reaction Inventory (SRI) for eye care workers was developed by adapting the SSI. The modified version of the inventory is comprised of four stress reaction scales (or categories), Physiological (F), Emotional (G), Behavioral (H), and Cognitive Appraisal (I), which were found to have high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Both among the nursing staff member group and the physician group, the more acute emotional and behavioral reactions to stressors responders experienced, the lower was their job satisfaction. The test norms were developed and presented using the quartile scale, as long as the sample was representative. Therefore, the adapted Ukrainian-language version of the Stress Reaction Inventory for eye care workers showed evidence of internal consistency and construct validity.

“…Gender differences in job satisfaction, in particular, have been extensively researched with some studies finding that women have higher levels of job satisfaction than men (Clark, 1997;Zou, 2015;Grönlund & Öun, 2018) and others showing lower (Akbari et al, 2020;Huang & Gamble, 2015;Nair et al, 2017) or comparable levels (Baeza et al, 2018) due to country-specific factors or other variables. Kaiser (2005) with work recognition did not differ by gender although the opportunity to use one's abilities was more salient in overall job satisfaction for male physicians and income more relevant for female physicians (Goetz et al, 2016).…”

A Cross-National Comparison: Job Satisfaction and Gender

Comparative gender job satisfaction studies have been inconclusive with some finding that women are more satisfied on the job than men and others finding no difference. Previous research has also identified similarities and differences in gender and job satisfaction globally based on cultural, economic, social, and political factors across countries and world regions. Overall, however, limited cross-national or global research has been conducted in this area. The current study uses International Social Survey Programme data to investigate the role of gender and country on job satisfaction. Findings support previous beliefs about gender differences but with significant country variations.
