Abstract

Background: Burnout is a psychological syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment, particularly prevalent among anesthesiology residents due to their demanding work environment.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of burnout and its associations with depression, sleep quality, and quality of life among anesthesiology residents at Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2023 with 51 anesthesiology residents. Validated Persian versions of standardized tools, including the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), STOP-Bang test, and World Health Organization (WHO) Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) Questionnaire, were used to measure burnout, depression, sleep quality, and quality of life. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses explored associations between these variables.

Results: Burnout was highly prevalent: 41.2% of residents experienced severe emotional exhaustion, 66.7% exhibited high depersonalization, and 100% reported reduced personal accomplishment. Severe depression affected 17.65% of participants, correlating strongly with all burnout dimensions. Emotional exhaustion was significantly associated with increased daytime sleepiness (r = 0.470, P < 0.001), while burnout severity inversely impacted physical, psychological, and social quality of life. Emotional support emerged as a critical protective factor against burnout. Exploratory analyses revealed no significant gender differences in burnout, depression, or sleep quality, though small effect sizes suggested trends toward higher emotional exhaustion and depression among female residents.

Conclusions: The study highlights the alarming prevalence of burnout among anesthesiology residents, driven by occupational stress, sleep disturbances, and mental health challenges. These findings align with research in other high-stress specialties, such as emergency medicine and surgery, but also underscore unique stressors faced by anesthesiology residents. Targeted interventions, such as optimizing work conditions, enhancing emotional support, and addressing mental health and sleep issues, are urgently needed. Longitudinal and comparative studies are recommended to further explore burnout progression and develop specialty-specific strategies to improve resident well-being and patient care outcomes.

Shahid Beheshti医科大学麻醉科住院医师职业倦怠程度的横断面研究
背景:职业倦怠是一种以情绪耗竭、人格解体和个人成就感降低为特征的心理综合征,由于工作环境要求高,在麻醉科住院医师中尤为普遍。目的:本研究旨在评估Shahid Beheshti医学科学大学麻醉科住院医师的职业倦怠患病率及其与抑郁、睡眠质量和生活质量的关系。方法:于2023年对51名麻醉科住院医师进行横断面研究。使用经过验证的波斯语版本的标准化工具,包括Maslach倦怠量表(MBI)、患者健康问卷-9 (PHQ-9)、Epworth嗜睡量表(ESS)、STOP-Bang测试和世界卫生组织(WHO)生活质量问卷(WHOQOL-BREF),来测量倦怠、抑郁、睡眠质量和生活质量。描述性统计和相关分析探讨了这些变量之间的关联。结果:职业倦怠普遍存在,41.2%的住院医师有严重的情绪耗竭,66.7%的住院医师有高度的人格解体,100%的住院医师有个人成就感降低。重度抑郁影响了17.65%的参与者,与倦怠的所有维度都有很强的相关性。情绪衰竭与日间嗜睡增加显著相关(r = 0.470, P < 0.001),而倦怠严重程度对身体、心理和社会生活质量呈负相关。情感支持成为防止倦怠的关键保护因素。探索性分析显示,在倦怠、抑郁或睡眠质量方面没有显著的性别差异,尽管小的效应量表明女性居民有更高的情绪衰竭和抑郁的趋势。结论:该研究强调了由职业压力、睡眠障碍和心理健康挑战驱动的麻醉科住院医师中令人担忧的倦怠患病率。这些发现与急诊医学和外科等其他高压力专业的研究结果一致,但也强调了麻醉科住院医生面临的独特压力源。迫切需要有针对性的干预措施,如优化工作条件、加强情感支持、解决心理健康和睡眠问题。建议进行纵向和比较研究,以进一步探索倦怠的进展,并制定特定的专科策略,以改善住院医师的幸福感和患者护理结果。
