Abstract
Introduction: Occupational burnout has been introduced as one of the most critical social problems. The present study aimed to evaluate occupational burnout among a group of Iranian endodontists.
Material and methods: Seventy-two Iranian endodontists participated in this cross-sectional study by completing the abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory (aMBI), consisting of one questionnaire in three domains. The data were analyzed with SPSS 21, using the chi-squared test, correlation test, and linear regression.
Results: Concerning occupational burnout, 2.9% of the participants had severe emotional exhaustion, 4.2% exhibited an intense feeling of decreased accomplishment, 67.2% exhibited moderate occupational burnout, and 78.9% of the participants were satisfied with their job. Of all the variables, only the years elapsed since graduation had an inverse and significant correlation with occupational burnout among endodontists.
Conclusion: The overall mean scores of endodontists showed a moderate rate of occupational burnout compared to the standard mean scores in this field. Recent graduates exhibited higher scores.
期刊介绍:
The Iranian Endodontic Journal (IEJ) is an international peer-reviewed biomedical publication, the aim of which is to provide a scientific medium of communication for researchers throughout the globe. IEJ aims to publish the highest quality articles, both clinical and scientific, on all aspects of Endodontics. The journal is an official Journal of the Iranian Center for Endodontic Research (ICER) and the Iranian Association of Endodontists (IAE). The Journal welcomes articles related to the scientific or applied aspects of endodontics e.g. original researches, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, review articles, clinical trials, case series/reports, hypotheses, letters to the editor, etc. From the beginning (i.e. since 2006), the IEJ was the first open access endodontic journal in the world, which gave readers free and instant access to published articles and enabling them faster discovery of the latest endodontic research.
