Abstract

A questionnaire survey was conducted on 8,402 members of the Japanese Neurological Society to examine the current status and countermeasures for physician burnout, and 1,261 respondents (15.0%) responded. In this paper, we report the results of a comparison between male and female physicians. There was a significant difference in working and living conditions only for married people. It was confirmed that men work under stricter conditions in terms of working hours, and that the burden on women is heavier in the division of housework. Analysis using the Japanese Burnout Scale revealed no gender differences in overall scores, but as for factors related to burnout, in addition to factors common to both men and women, factors specific to men or women were clarified.
