Abstract

Purpose of review: This review aims to show the current evidence and the challenges that remain to guide future research on the prevalence, incidence, prognosis, and factors associated with burnout, and current interventions for its prevention and reduction.

Recent findings: An overview of systematic reviews with meta-analyses found that burnout is highly prevalent among oncologists and oncology nurses, mainly emotional exhaustion. However, these meta-analyses showed a lack of original research from continents such as Africa or Oceania, and no studies were meta-analyzed evaluating physical therapists or psycho-oncologists. To our knowledge, the incidence of occupational burnout has not been meta-analyzed on this topic, and the number of prospective cohort studies and randomized clinical trials is probably limited. On the other hand, some cross-sectional studies and nonrandomized clinical trials have been recently published. These studies have highlighted the association between burnout with psychological (e.g. anxiety) and occupational factors (e.g. job demands) and the reduction of burnout using different psychological interventions.

Summary: Occupational burnout is a topic of interest in oncology. However, important gaps in knowledge remain and need to be filled before establishing firm conclusions on this topic.

肿瘤学卫生专业人员的职业倦怠：当前证据和未来研究的挑战。

综述目的：本综述旨在展示目前的证据和面临的挑战，以指导未来关于职业倦怠的患病率、发病率、预后和相关因素的研究，以及目前预防和减少职业倦怠的干预措施。最近的发现：一项系统综述和荟萃分析发现，职业倦怠在肿瘤学家和肿瘤学护士中非常普遍，主要是情绪衰竭。然而，这些荟萃分析显示缺乏来自非洲或大洋洲等大陆的原始研究，并且没有对物理治疗师或心理肿瘤学家进行荟萃分析。据我们所知，尚未对职业倦怠的发生率进行meta分析，前瞻性队列研究和随机临床试验的数量可能有限。另一方面，最近发表了一些横断面研究和非随机临床试验。这些研究强调了职业倦怠与心理因素（如焦虑）和职业因素（如工作需求）之间的联系，以及使用不同的心理干预措施来减少职业倦怠。摘要：职业倦怠是肿瘤学研究的热门话题。然而，在就这一主题得出明确结论之前，知识方面仍然存在重要空白，需要加以填补。
