“…Some physician specialties appear to have a relatively low risk of burnout, 12,22 but others may have an enormous problem. 15,31,40,45 Surprisingly, specialties that might be considered high stress because of the nature of the work (surgery, transplantation, or orthopedics) did not report excessively high burnout scores, 12,14,34,38 whereas intensivists and anesthesiologists had a greater incidence. 31,[35][36][37] It seems counterintuitive, but other specialties for which daily work might not at first seem highly stressful (e.g., otolaryngology and radiology) have been at higher risk for burnout.…”

Background: Burnout can lead to health and psychologic problems and is apparently increasing in physicians and nurses. Previous studies have not evaluated all healthcare workers within a single work unit. This study evaluates the risk of burnout in all medical personnel in one perioperative unit. Methods: We developed an online survey that included demographics, a modified version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey, and the Social Support and Personal Coping Survey. Survey constructs (e.g., depersonalization and health) and a global score were calculated. Larger construct and global values were associated with higher risk of burnout. These were separately regressed on role, age, and sex. The global score was then regressed on each of the survey constructs. Results: Of the 145 responses, 46.2% were physicians (22.8% residents), 43.4% were nurses or nurse anesthetists, and 10.3% were other personnel. After adjusting for sex and age, residents scored higher than other physicians on the following (expected change [95% confidence interval]): global score (1.12 [0.43-1.82]), emotional exhaustion (1.54

“…Despite these limitations, the strengths of this study compared to referential international studies 4,15,16) lie in its wide distribution of physician samples include various specialties, plentiful depression risk factors and work condition indicators, and comparisons between JCQ scores with other occupations. Although the results were from survey of volunteer physicians, the major contributions of this pilot study are its reporting of an estimated rate of depression, the status of occupational stress, and the risk and protective factors of depression status among physicians in Taiwan, none of which have been presented before.…”

Adverse mental health conditions among physiciansincluding stress, burnout, and depression-can result in errors in professional conduct and interfere with the quality of healthcare provision [1][2][3] . Physicians are usually exposed to high levels of occupational stress resulting from heavy workloads and high levels of time pressure, and those in certain employment positions or specialties are at higher risk of suffering from depression disorders than the general population 4,5) . High occupational stress and depression within physicians can even lead to higher suicide ideation or suicide rates 6,7) .Among various risk factors in the work environment, job stress is central to workers' daily lives; its asso- Abstract: This study assessed the levels and association of occupational stress and depression rate among physicians, and to compare physicians' occupational stress with that of Taiwanese employees in other occupations. The subjects were physicians employed at 14 participating regional hospitals in the Around Taiwan Health Care Alliance. Self-administered questionnaires capturing data on demographics, occupational characteristics, occupational stress measured using Job Content Questionnaire (C-JCQ), and health status measured using Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire (TDQ) were sent to eligible physicians. Results revealed that the depression rate (13.3%) was higher than that found in the general population (3.7%) of Taiwan. The mean scores of the JCQ dimensions "work demands" and "job control" were both much higher than those in most occupations in Taiwan. Higher depression scores were found in subjects with higher work demands, 8-10 d of being on duty per month, and more frequent alcohol consumption, while lower depression scores were found in subjects working in the east Taiwan area, with higher job control and with greater workplace social support. On the other hand, gender, smoking, and working hour were not independently correlated with depression, but the interaction of gender and job control also had an independent effect on depression. This study suggests that job stress plays an important role in depression in physicians; it is necessary to pay attention to physicians at high risk of depression, as well as their work environments, for early detection and intervention.

“…Radiologists and radiotherapists are more susceptible to an unpleasant, negative, and non-adaptive reaction to stress (MAGNAviTA et al, 2008). In a research with 136 radiologists in New Zealand, Lim and Pinto (2009) observed that in comparison with physicians practicing in the private service, physicians in the public service presented higher rate of stress and burnout associated to professional dissatisfaction.…”

The objective of this systematic literature review was to identify the main diseases that affect physicians worldwide, through an electronic survey in the Virtual Health Library (BVS) database based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses (Prisma) methodology. We analyzed 57 of the 374 scientific papers published on this subject between 2005 and 2015 in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. The findings showed that mental affections prevailed, highlighting the occupational exhaustion (burnout syndrome). Among the physical ailments, musculoskeletal affections prevailed.KEYWORDS Occupational diseases. Burnout, professional. Occupational health.
