Abstract

Background and objectives: Burnout is common in primary care doctors. The aim of this study was to explore burnout, self-care and retention in general practice supervision in Australia.

Method: The sample comprised 267 general practice supervisors from all Australian states and territories. Respondents completed an anonymous online survey.

Results: Respondents reported high levels of disengagement (n=189; 71%) and exhaustion (n=212; 79%). Factors associated with burnout included being younger; working while unwell; holding the belief that workplace support for self-care was inadequate; and lower daily balance and/or professional development self-care. Exhaustion was negatively associated with general practice supervisor retention via its negative effect on self-care (β=-0.379; 95% CI: -0.777 to -0.050).

Discussion: Burnout is common in general practice supervisors and is associated with attrition, possibly via a negative effect on self-care. Greater investment in workplace initiatives to address burnout and sector-wide strategies to reduce workforce shortages are needed.

全科医生主管的职业倦怠和留任：患病率、风险因素和自我保健。

背景和目的：职业倦怠在初级保健医生中很常见。本研究的目的是探讨澳洲全科医生的职业倦怠、自我照顾和保留。方法：样本包括来自澳大利亚所有州和地区的267名全科医生。受访者完成了一份匿名在线调查。结果：受访者报告了高度的脱离感(n=189；71%)和衰竭(n=212；79%)。与职业倦怠相关的因素包括：年轻；身体不适时工作；认为工作场所对自我保健的支持不足；日常生活平衡和/或职业发展自理能力下降。倦怠通过其对自我护理的负面影响与全科医生留任呈负相关(β=-0.379；95% CI: -0.777至-0.050)。讨论：职业倦怠在全科医生中很常见，并与人员流失有关，可能是通过对自我保健的负面影响。需要加大对工作场所解决职业倦怠的举措的投资，并采取全部门战略减少劳动力短缺。
