The Correlation Between Big Five Personality Profile and Burnout Incidence in Medical Students

Burnout is a syndrome of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive stress, commonly experienced by medical students. Contributing factors include lifestyle and personality. The Big Five Personality Theory (neuroticism, extraversion, openness, agreeableness, conscientiousness) helps explain individual personality traits. This study aims to determine the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and burnout among medical students. An observational analytical approach with a cross-sectional design was used, targeting fourth-year medical students at Swadaya Gunung Jati University in 2024. Consecutive sampling was employed, and data were analyzed using the C contingency coefficient test. Data collection involved a questionnaire. Results indicated that 15 out of 68 students (22.1%) experienced burnout, with most students falling into the openness and agreeableness categories. The analysis revealed a significant relationship between personality traits and burnout (p = 0.003; p < 0.05), with students exhibiting openness experiencing burnout more frequently than those with agreeableness traits. Specifically, 48.5% of students in the openness category, 38.2% in agreeableness, 10.3% in conscientiousness, and 2.9% in neuroticism experienced burnout. The findings demonstrate a correlation between personality traits and the occurrence of burnout.

Canine companionship as a resilience factor: a quantitative inquiry into the impact of pet ownership on burnout mitigation among radiologists and radiographers.

The demanding nature of diagnostic imaging, coupled with the increasing workload and exposure to high-stress scenarios, underscores the pressing concern of burnout among radiologists and radiographers in modern healthcare settings. The objective was to investigate the interplay between family characteristics, workplace characteristics, pet ownership, and the occurrence of burnout. An online, quantitative, cross-sectional study with a non-random, purposive sampling method was carried out among Hungarian radiologists and radiographers from 1st of September to 1st of November 2022. We examined the results of 406 responses predominantly from females (79.8%, n = 324), including 70.7% radiographers (n = 287). Cronbach's alpha values for depersonalization (DP), emotional exhaustion (EE), and personal accomplishment (PA) were 0.74, 0.88, and 0.85, respectively. Average burnout scores were 8.35 (SD = 6.62) for DP, 26.26 (SD = 12.74) for EE, and 32.86 (SD = 9.52) for PA. DP demonstrated a balanced distribution (low: 35.7%, moderate: 27.3%, high: 36.9%). Conversely, EE and PA skewed towards high levels, with 52.5% (n = 213) and 49.5% (n = 201). Significant associations were found between gender and DP (p = 0.006), age (31-40 years) and DP/PA (p < 0.001; p = 0.004), absence of children and all burnout dimensions (p < 0.05), and pet ownership (p = 0.004) with lower EE, particularly for dog owners (p = 0.009). Occupation lacked a significant effect on burnout dimensions (p > 0.05). Employees without a second job had higher EE (p = 0.002) and lower PA (p = 0.008). Increasing healthcare experience correlated with decreased DP values (p = 0.001), while working over 40 h weekly negatively impacted all burnout dimensions (p ≤ 0.05). 15.5% (n = 63) exhibited signs of high burnout, with the age group 31-40 demonstrating the highest proportion (25.4%, n = 27) and significant associations with marital status, absence of children, pet ownership, private healthcare, 10-19 years in healthcare, and working over 40 h weekly. There is a pressing need for evidence-based strategies to alleviate burnout among radiologists and radiographers. There is a growing importance of recognizing the role of pets, especially dogs, as valuable companions for emotional support and stress relief. Implementing pet-friendly policies or therapy programs can contribute to a positive and supportive workplace, potentially mitigating burnout among essential frontline healthcare professionals.

The Burn Out of Health Professional: Case of the Tominian Health District

The health of the population is one of the priority sectors of the Malian state authorities. The implementation at the operational level of socio-health activities by health professionals remains a challenge given working conditions and societal realities. This situation in an unfavorable environment exposes these professionals to the development of burnout. Observation: It was a health professional, 48 years old, a civil servant for 10 years in the district, having consulted for insomnia, osteoarticular pain and anorexia. Mood disorders, nervousness, palpitations, physical asthenia persisting for 7 months had been observed. Several consultations and assessments carried out without success. The persistence of the symptoms and the negativity of the assessments made it possible to raise the hypothesis of a professional burnout syndrome. A treatment based on rest over 1 month combined with anxiolytics for 15 days allowed the symptoms to improve. Follow-up for 11 months was unremarkable. Conclusion: The workload, the insufficiency in the organization, the planning of activities and sometimes the failure of the patient to fulfill their duties in our structures are determining factors in the occurrence of burnout among health professionals. Sufficient recruitment of professionals at the operational level, health education and the implementation of an adequate work plan could reduce this risk.

Length of employment and burnout among programmers in the conceptualisation of ressentiment

The paper discusses the relationship between the length of employment and burnout among programmers in the conceptualisation of ressentiment. Due to the lack of extensive studies in the literature on the impact of the length of employment on burnout in programmers, in the light of ressentiment, the authors decide to broaden the knowledge on this topic. In this study, the aim is to demonstrate the impact of the length of employment on the occurrence of burnout in programmers. A total of 80 men who deal with programming every day were studied. The respondents were characterised by a variety of length of employment from 1 year to 40 years. In order to measure the variables, the Burnout Questionnaire (LBQ) and the OLBI Questionnaire (The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory) were used to examine burnout and its components: psychophysical exhaustion, lack of engagement with clients, feelings of lack of professional effectiveness, and disappointment. Research tools such as the KR Resentment Questionnaire and the Gotland Male Depression Scale (GMDS) were also used to measure distress.

Assessment of Burnout Among Emergency Medicine Residents in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Survey

Background: Burnout syndrome is a frequent challenge faced in the emergency department. There exists a dearth of clinical evidence regarding the risk and occurrence of burnout, among emergency residents in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the parameters of burnout in this cohort. Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted via an online survey using Maslach Burnout Inventory for Healthcare Professionals (MBI-HSS) questionnaire. All emergency medicine residents registered under the country&amp;apos;s residency program were invited to participate. The relative importance index (RII) analysis was used to describe the frequency of the MBI-HSS indicators. The t-test of independent groups and the one-way analysis of variance were used to assess the impact of demographic and professional factors. Results: A total of 73 residents completed the questionnaire. Low PA was reported by 53.4% while medium to high DP and EE were reported by 84.9% and 67.1% residents respectively. Female residents had significantly higher EE versus males. Age, marital status and number of children had no correlation with burnout. Emergency residents serving at hospitals of the Ministry of Health reported significantly higher levels of burnout, versus other institutions. The final year of the residency program showed significantly lower levels of burnout than the earlier years. Conclusion: This is the first study from Saudi Arabia, assessing the parameters of burnout, specifically among emergency medicine residents. The study has shown alarmingly high levels of DP, EE and low PA and warrants urgent remedial measures to curb burnout among emergency residents.

Burnout and associated factors among nurses in psychiatric and general tertiary hospitals in Botswana: A cross-sectional study.

Research has consistently documented that nurses are at a higher risk for developing burnout syndrome due to the nature of their jobs. The high prevalence of burnout among nursing staff negatively affects healthcare delivery. Nurses experiencing burnout cannot provide quality care or actively participate in health promotion, and those experiencing emotional exhaustion are unlikely to be able to tend to the emotional needs of patients. The study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with burnout syndrome among nursing staff in Botswana referral general and psychiatric hospitals. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 249 nursing staff working in a referral psychiatric and general hospital. The job satisfaction survey, Maslach burnout inventory, and the OCEAN-20 were used to assess job satisfaction, burnout occurrence, and personality traits, respectively. A researcher-designed sociodemographic questionnaire was used to capture demographic data. Variables identified to be associated with burnout on bivariate analyses were entered into a regression analysis to determine to what extent these factors predicted burnout. The prevalence of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment was 65.7%, 56.9%, and 54%, respectively. Being in a general hospital, neuroticism, poor operating condition, and poor communication predicted emotional exhaustion, R 2 = 28%, F (9, 229) = 9.937, p < 0.001. Depersonalization was predicted by neuroticism and poor operating conditions, R 2 = 17%, F (9, 229) = 4.709, p < 0.001. Reduced personal achievement was significantly predicted by the number of people in the household, time at the current hospital, agreeableness, and nature of work, R 2 = 21%, F (7, 203) = 7.875, p < 0.001. Our findings highlight the need for interventions to be developed to address burnout among nursing staff to optimize healthcare delivery.

Factors associated with burnout in military police officers in a city in Paraná.

to analyze the association between burnout and sociodemographic, work factors, lifestyle habits and health conditions of military police officers in a municipality in the state of Paraná, Brazil. cross-sectional research with 131 military police officers. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software and the R program. Chi-square, Fisher's exact and Poisson Generalized Linear Model tests were used. most participants (65.6%) had a high level of burnout. In relation to protective factors, those who carried out leisure activities had a 33.6% chance of not developing burnout. Conjugality was also a protective factor. Not practicing physical activity and leisure activities are factors that can contribute to the occurrence of burnout. important factors and high rates of burnout were observed in the police officers investigated. It is necessary to implement public health policies to reduce burnout with attention focused on this professional category.

A Cross-Sectional Study on Physical Activity and Burnout among Family Physicians in Slovenia during the First Year of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Are the Results Alarming Enough to Convince Decision-Makers to Support Family Medicine?

Physical activity has a positive effect on general health, but its influence on burnout remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the association between physical activity and the incidence of burnout in Slovenian family physicians (FPs) and family medicine trainees (FMTs) during the COVID-19 pandemic, which exacerbated the already-existing problem of burnout. We conducted a cross-sectional observational study among Slovenian family physicians and FMTs in which sociodemographic variables, the type and duration of physical activity, and an assessment of burnout were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Comparisons between groups were made using the independent-samples t-test, Fisher's exact test, and the Wilcoxon sign-rank test. A value of p < 0.05 determined the limit of statistical significance. Of 1230 FPs and FMTs invited to participate, 282 completed the survey (22.9% response rate); there were 243 (86.2%) FPs and 39 (13.8%) FMTs. The overall rating for burnout during the pandemic was high, at 48.6% of FPs and FMTs; 62.8% of respondents reported a high rating for emotional exhaustion and 40.1% for depersonalization. Compared to FMTs, emotional exhaustion and total burnout scores were higher for FPs (p < 0.001 and p = 0.010, respectively), but work status was not related to personal acomplishment, which 53.5% of all participants rated as low. Physical activity did not appear to be a statistically significant factor in the occurrence of burnout during the pandemic. Therefore, work status or occupational role (FP vs. FMT) should be thoroughly investigated in the future along with some other factors and a better response rate.

Mitigating Burnout: Transition to a Condensed Workweek for Advanced Practice Providers in Infectious Diseases.

Burnout among health-care workers is highly prevalent and profoundly impacts the quality of patient care. In addition to affecting patient safety, burnout results in higher staff turnover, revenue deficits due to decreased productivity, financial risk, and diminished organization viability because of the impact on quality of care, patient satisfaction, and safety. Culmination of external and internal stressors in health-care worker populations is associated with a higher probability of burnout and workers who reported perceived low workplace flexibility. In addition, workplace flexibility is associated with reduced odds of experiencing burnout. Workplace flexibility plays a critical role in potentially reducing the occurrence of burnout in the health-care worker population. Individually focused solutions are important to mitigate burnout, however, comprehensive organizational change ensures durable and sustainable solutions. There is a correlation between a positive employee outlook and reduced stress when there is a perceived level of control over one's work schedule. The goal of this article is to showcase the process of a successful implementation of a condensed work schedule for an advanced practice provider workforce in infectious diseases in response to burnout and workload shifts. This chronicles the steps of design, rationale, procuring buy-in by stakeholders, and operational implementation of the new schedules. Advanced practice provider satisfaction and burnout were measured by periodic surveys at timepoints along the way.

Workplace violence and burnout among Chinese nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic: does the sense of coherence mediate the relationship?

BackgroundWorkplace violence has always been a critical issue worldwide before and after the COVID-19 pandemic, which can lead to burnout and turnover. In addition, the burnout and mental stress of nurses during the COVID-19 period have been widely described. To our knowledge, no studies have examined the mediating effect of the sense of coherence on the relationship between workplace violence and burnout among Chinese nurses over time. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between workplace violence and burnout among Chinese nurses and how the sense of coherence mediates the association.MethodsUsing a convenience sampling method, 1190 nurses from 4 tertiary grade-A comprehensive hospitals were investigated between September 2021 and December 2021 in 3 provinces of China. The Workplace Violence Scale, Burnout Inventory, and Sense of Coherence scale were used to collect data. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and regression analysis to estimate direct and indirect effects using bootstrap analysis.ResultsThe mean total scores for workplace violence and burnout were 1.67 ± 1.08 and 47.36 ± 18.39, respectively. Workplace violence was significantly negatively correlated with the sense of coherence (r = -0.25) and positively correlated with burnout (r = 0.27). Additionally, a higher level of workplace violence was associated with higher burnout (β = 1.13, 95% CI: 0.68 ~ 1.56). A higher sense of coherence was also associated with lower burnout (β = -0.98, 95% CI: -1.03 ~ -0.92). Workplace violence showed an effect on burnout through a sense of coherence. The direct, indirect and total effects were 1.13, 1.88 and 3.01, respectively. The mediating effect of the sense of coherence accounted for 62.45% of the relationship between workplace violence and burnout.ConclusionWe found that the sense of coherence mediated most workplace violence on burnout. It is imperative for hospital managers to improve nurses’ sense of coherence to reduce the occurrence of burnout during COVID-19. Future intervention studies should be designed to strengthen nurses’ sense of coherence.

Prevalence and risk-factors for burnout, posttraumatic stress, and secondary traumatization among Danish prosecutors: findings from a pilot-study

ABSTRACT International research has documented that prosecutors and lawyers are at increased risk of reporting symptoms of internalizing mental health disorders. Much existing research is based on small convenience samples and no studies have hitherto been conducted among Danish prosecutors. EU estimates indicate that Denmark reports among the highest number of legal cases while simultaneously figuring among the countries with the lowest governmental expenditures on courts of law. The aim of this study was to estimate the occurrence of burnout, secondary traumatization, and posttraumatic stress disorder among Danish prosecutors. Additionally, we aimed to study the relationship between these outcomes perceived work-environment and stressors at work, as well as different coping strategies in handing emotionally demanding cases at work. A nation-wide online survey was distributed to all attorneys in Denmark. A total on N = 233 participated, corresponding to a participation rate of 39%. Findings indicated that burnout was the most important concern among Danish prosecutors compared to rates of secondary traumatization and PTSD that were generally low. Quantitative demands, abusive behavior from professional counterparts and emotional impact from cases were the main correlates of burnout symptoms.

Современные направления изучения феномена эмоционального выгорания

&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The article presents a review of current trends in empirical research of the phenomenon of emotional burnout over the last 5 years, which were on display in the ScienceDirect catalogue. As a result of the analysis three topical directions of burnout research were identified. The first one is connected with a role of emotional intelligence in a burnout occurrence. It was established that a person's understanding of his/her own and other people's emotions and managing them can help to overcome and prevent emotional burnout. The second direction investigates the role of emotional work in a burnout. It was found that a person's ability to direct his/her emotions and to use different strategies of their expression can help to reduce burnout, and "psychological flexibility" provides an opportunity to prevent the onset of emotional burnout. The third direction is related to a person's social identity. The link between a person's social identity and a reduction of burnout is demonstrated, the role of psychological connection to the group and social identity strengthening in the reduction of emotional burnout is shown. The growing interest in the role and place of a person's identity in burnout is especially emphasized in the review. The article presents perspectives for further research of a burnout phenomenon.&lt;/p&gt;

HOW TO DEAL WITH BURNOUT DURING ONLINE LEARNING IN MEDICAL EDUCATION? A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Background: During their education, medical students face various types of stress in medical school. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant changes in communication. Technology improves the usage of telecommunications in medical education, making students spend more time staring at screens, tablets, and smartphones, which may affect stress and lead to burnout. This study aims to explore burnout and strategies for reducing the occurrence of burnout in students during online learning.Method: This study is a systematic review aimed at exploring the burnout phenomena in medical students doing online learning and strategies to prevent it. The journal articles were sought from the PubMed, Google Scholar, and Springerlink databases. We applied the inclusion and exclusion criteria to select the relevant journal articles. We analyze the validity and review the articles descriptively. Results: After the systematic selection of the journal articles, there are 28 full journals related to burnout and prevention strategies. The result defines Burnout as an individual's reaction to long-term work stress that lasts for a long time and can become chronic. In this article, six strategies can be used by institutions, educators, and students to help overcome the incidence of burnout during online learning.Conclusion: There is a need for a strategy carried out by institutions that provide facilities to provide emotional support to students; develop educators to prevent burnout during the learning process; apply healthy practices in preventing the eyes from doing ice-breaking between online learning sessions, and use various visual interactive learning methods to increase the interest and motivation of students to avoid burnout during online learning.

Burnout prevalence in medical students attending a team-based learning school

IntroductionWorldwide burnout prevalence among medical students is high. It has a negative impact on students’ personal and professional lives as well as on their psychosocial wellbeing and academic performance. It can result in physicians with emotional distancing and indifference to work, and it compromises the quality of healthcare offered to society. This study evaluates burnout in medical students selected by mini-multiple interviews (MMIs) who were being taught by the team-based learning (TBL) method. MMIs are often used to select students with soft skills for medicine, and TBL is related to greater academic achievement, which would allow students to have greater resilience to stress. Information on burnout occurrence is lacking for this type of student.MethodsStudents (N = 143) attending the first three semesters at a private medical school were evaluated. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory—Student Version (CBI-SV) questionnaire was applied on three occasions (applications = Apps one, two, and three) in each semester. Scores ≥ 50 were considered to indicate burnout. Data were analyzed by statistics programs.ResultsPersonal-related and study-related burnout frequencies for 1st semester students were, respectively, 24.4 and 22% in App one and rose to 51 and 48.5% at the semester’s end. Second- and third-semester students’ frequencies reached 80.4 and 78.8%, respectively. Around 40% of 1st semester students having burnout at App one maintained the burnout score. Peer- and teacher-related burnout frequencies are low (4.9 and 2.4%) at the 1st semester App one and rose to the highest (24–30%) by the end of the 2nd semester. Woman students had significantly higher burnout frequencies in the personal- (p &amp;lt; 0.001) and study-related burnout subscales (p = 0.003). Students living with friends had lower study-related burnout scores than those living with family or alone (p = 0.024). There were no significant correlations between the burnout scores and tuition funding (partial or total) or having or not having religious faith.DiscussionThe prevalence of personal- and study-related burnout among medical students of the Faculdade Israelita de Ciências da Saúde Albert Einstein (FICSAE), perceived via mini-multiple interviews (MMI)—selected and team-based learning (TBL)—taught, was similar to those internationally reported. The college semester and the gender of woman were associated with worse burnout levels. Additional studies are needed to support more effective actions to reduce the impact of stress on students.

Relationship of Mobbing and Burnout in Vascular Surgeons

Burnout is a condition of frustration brought on by unfulfilled commitment to a cause or way of life. It may negatively affect the quality of patient care by raising the likelihood of medical errors and decreasing patient satisfaction. Mobbing is described as harassment that undermines a person's character, integrity, or dignity at least once per week for more than 6 months. It can result in decreased productivity and an environment that is more hazardous for patients. The prevalence of burnout among vascular surgeons has been the subject of multiple research, with estimates ranging from 34% to 41%. The association between burnout and mobbing among vascular surgeons has not yet been investigated. The purpose of this study was to examine whether or not burnout among Mexican vascular surgeons is associated with mobbing. This is a cross-sectional observational study of vascular surgeons currently practicing in Mexico. The protocol was approved by The Ethics Committee of the National Institute of Medical Sciences and Nutrition Salvador Zubiran. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used to assess burnout, and the Modified Leymann Inventory of Psychological Terrorism-60 (LIPT-60), was used to assess mobbing. The study also collected data on other characteristics that may contribute to burnout and mobbing, such as gender, hours worked per week, practice type, and birth generation. REDCap platform was used for both the collection and evaluation of the data, the statistical analysis for this study included the utilization of descriptive statistics, as well as the examination of statistical correlations using X2, Fisher's and Pearson's X2 test. Of the 142 complete surveys assessed, 41% revealed burnout symptoms, with emotional exhaustion being the most prevalent symptom (Tables I and II). Of the population, 32% suffered positive mobbing strategies. The study demonstrated a strong association between burnout and mobbing, with mobbing victims having a greater risk of developing burnout (odds ratio, 3.16; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-6.6). In addition, female gender, belonging to Generation X, working more than three extra 8-hour shifts per week, practicing in the public sector were also related with a greater prevalence of burnout and mobbing. This study discovered a substantial correlation between burnout and mobbing among Mexican vascular surgeons. These findings show that measures to prevent mobbing may lessen the occurrence of burnout among this population. To validate these findings and identify possible strategies for preventing and addressing burnout and mobbing in this group, additional study is required.Table IRisk factors for burnout in Mexican vascular surgeonsBurnout (n = 142)Affected populationOdds ratioP valueGender.03 Female (n = 58)52%1.6 Male (n = 84)33%0.61Generation.06 Baby boomer (n = 22)18%0.25 Generation X (n = 41)44%0.78 Millennial (n = 79)46%0.85Type of practice.05 Public (n = 14)57%1.32 Mixed (n = 56)46%0.85 Private (n = 50)28%0.39Extra shifts per week (8-hour shift).18a 0 (n = 68)37%1.12 1 (n = 26)35%1.06 2 (n = 18)33%1 3 (n = 19)58%1.75 4 (n = 3)33%1 5 (n = 7)75%2.27a>3 shifts vs <3 shifts P = .03.

Global prevalence of nursing burnout syndrome and temporal trends for the last 10 years: A meta-analysis of 94 studies covering over 30 countries.

To determine the global prevalence of nursing burnout syndrome and time trends for the last 10 years. The prevalence of burnout syndrome varied greatly in different regions in the last 10 years, so the average prevalence and time trends of nursing burnout syndrome for the last 10 years were not completely clear. A meta-analysis conducted in the PRISMA guidelines. CINAHL, Web of Science, and PubMed were searched for trials on the prevalence of nursing burnout syndrome from 2012 to 2022 systematically. Hoy's quality assessment tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias. The global prevalence of nursing burnout syndrome was estimated, and subgroup analysis was used to explore what caused heterogeneity. Time trends for the last 10 years were evaluated by meta-regression using Stata 11.0. Ninety-four studies reporting the prevalence of nursing burnout were included. The global prevalence of nursing burnout was 30.0% [95% CI: 26.0%-34.0%]. Subgroup analysis indicated that the specialty (p < .001) and the region (p < .001) and the year (p < .001) were sources of the high heterogeneity. Meta-regression indicated that it tended to increase gradually for the last 10 years (t = 3.71, p = .006). The trends increased in Europe (t = 4.23, p = .006), Africa (t = 3.75, p = .006) and obstetrics (t = 3.66, p = .015). However, no statistical significance was found in ICU (t = -.14, p = .893), oncology (t = -0.44, p = .691) and emergency department (t = -0.30, p = .783). A significant number of nurses were found to have moderate-high levels of burnout syndrome for the last 10 years. The meta-analysis also indicated an increased trend over time. Therefore, more attention to the prevalence of nursing burnout syndrome is urgently required. High prevalence of nursing burnout may attract more attention from the public. This analysis may serve as an impetus for relevant policy to change nurses' working conditions and reduce the occurrence of burnout.

How are French pediatric orthopedic surgeons affected by burnout? Results of a nationwide survey

IntroductionBurnout is a syndrome that adversely affects those who work in roles designed to assist and aid others, such as healthcare professionals. There is a paucity of data available on this topic among French pediatric orthopedic surgeons, registrars and interns. Therefore, we conducted a national survey to: (1) assess the prevalence of burnout syndrome among French pediatric orthopedic surgeons; (2) determine the risks and protective factors associated with this syndrome. HypothesisThe prevalence of burnout among French pediatric orthopedic surgeons is at least as high as in other medical and surgical specialties. Materials and methodsWe conducted a nationwide survey during the months of June and July 2022 by distributing a digitized questionnaire by e-mail. The burnout syndrome was assessed by the MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) score. Demographic and professional practice data were also collected. ResultsThirty-eight interns and 65 pediatric orthopedic registrars took part in the survey, i.e. a participation rate estimated at 65.5% and 44.4% respectively. Twenty-six percent (n=10) of interns and 13.9% (n=9) of registrars had MBI scores suggestive of moderate or severe burnout. Respectively 20.8% (n=9) and 9.2% (n=6) of interns and registrars reported suicidal thoughts in the past year. After statistical analysis, medical errors (OR: 3.4336; 95% CI: 1.7164–6.869; p<0.001) and suicidal ideation (OR: 2.3075; 95% CI: 1.0480–5.081; p=0.038) were associated with severe burnout. Having children (OR: 0.495; 95% CI: 0.2491–0.983; p=0.044) emerged as a protective factor. DiscussionWith a high participation rate, this study reveals a high burnout rate among French pediatric orthopedic interns and registrars, even if slightly lower than those found in other surgical specialties. Interns seem more exposed to this risk than their seniors. The consequences of burnout are diverse but can be significant. These results necessitate a vigilant approach to the occurrence of burnout among health professionals, and the appropriate management of it. Level of evidenceIII; descriptive cross-sectional study without a control group.

The Effect of Hope and Self-Efficacy on Employee Burnout

The emergence of burnout can be caused by continuous work stress experienced by individuals. The occurrence of burnout can be influenced by the level of hope possessed by employees, whether employees will be able or not to perceive their goals, use goals as motivation, and prepare alternative strategies to overcome problems at work. Individuals who have good self-efficacy will see a difficult job as a challenge and prevent burnout from occurring. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hope and self-efficacy on burnout that occurs in employees. The sampling technique used was quota sampling. The respondents were civil servants, male and female, aged between 23 – 57 years old, who work at the Ngudi Waluyo Hospital agency, Blitar Regency as many as 150 people, including 59 administrative employees and 91 nurses. This study used SHS (State Hope Scale), the Bandura self-efficacy scale; the burnout instrument used a scale compiled by a previous researcher (Sasmita, 2016) by measuring three aspects of burnout, namely fatigue, cynicism, and inefficiency. Multiple linear regressions were used to analyze the data. The results showed that hope and self-efficacy simultaneously had an effect on burnout (17, 1%), and partially hope had a significant negative effect on burnout. However, interestingly self-efficacy had no effect on burnout.

Burnout among healthcare providers: Its prevalence and association with anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic in Macao, China.

Burnout in healthcare providers (HPs) might lead to negative consequences at personal, patient-care and healthcare system levels especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of burnout and the contributing variables, and to explore how, from health workforce management perspective, HPs' experiences related to carrying out COVID-19 duties would be associated with their burnout. A cross-sectional, open online survey, informed by physical and psychological attributes reportedly related to burnout, the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), was completed by HPs in Macau, China during October and December 2021. Factors associated with burnout were analysed using multiple logistic regressions. Among the 498 valid responses, the participants included doctors (37.5%), nurses (27.1%), medical laboratory technologist (11.4%) and pharmacy professionals (10.8%), with the majority being female (66.1%), aged between 25-44years (66.0%), and participated in the COVID-19 duties (82.9%). High levels of burnout (personal (60.4%), work-related (50.6%) and client-related (31.5%)), anxiety (60.6%), and depression (63.4%) were identified. Anxiety and depression remained significantly and positively associated with all types of burnout after controlling for the strong effects of demographic and work factors (e.g. working in the public sector or hospital, or having COVID-19 duties). HPs participated in COVID-19 duties were more vulnerable to burnout than their counterparts and were mostly dissatisfied with the accessibility of psychological support at workplace (62.6%), workforce distribution for COVID-19 duties (50.0%), ability to rest and recover (46.2%), and remuneration (44.7%), all of which were associated with the occurrence of burnout. Personal, professional and health management factors were found attributable to the burnout experienced by HPs during the COVID-19 pandemic, requiring actions from individual and organizational level. Longitudinal studies are needed to monitor the trend of burnout and to inform effective strategies of this occupational phenomenon.
