Abstract

Background: Burnout has been associated with decreased quality of patient care and results in an estimated cost of roughly $5 billion per year. With a growing awareness of burnout prevalence in high-level athletes, the physicians working with the athletic departments of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) institutions can be forgotten.

Purpose: To assess the prevalence of burnout among physicians of the NCAA teams and assess predictors that may lead to burnout.

Study design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey using the Professional Fulfillment Index scale with demographic data was sent to multiple Division I NCAA conferences. Eligible participants included any physicians who care directly for Division I NCAA teams. Each item was assessed on a 5-point Likert scale, and comparisons were made between those who did and did not achieve burnout. Linear and logistic regression models were used to assess predictors of burnout score and achievement of burnout, respectively.

Results: Of the 89 completed responses, 79 (79/89; 89%) participants qualified as having achieved burnout. No significant differences were identified in burnout achievement based on patient demographics. Specifically, there was no difference in burnout achievement based on specialty (P = .16), taking call (P = .05), or years in practice (P = .12). A linear regression model showed that the only significant predictor of burnout score was specialty, with family medicine-sports medicine and Other both associated with greater burnout scores (P < .001 and P = .002, respectively) compared with orthopaedics.

Conclusion: The prevalence of burnout in NCAA physicians is extremely high, even compared with the rate of other physicians, and the lack of predictive factors shows this issue to be multifactorial. Further studies need to be conducted with larger sample sizes, as well as isolating historical factors of burnout, to better improve the health of this unique physician population.

全国大学体育协会医师的职业倦怠:一项横断面研究。
背景:职业倦怠与患者护理质量下降有关,估计每年造成约50亿美元的损失。随着越来越多的人意识到高水平运动员普遍存在职业倦怠,与全国大学体育协会(NCAA)机构体育部门合作的医生可能会被遗忘。目的:评估NCAA团队医生的职业倦怠患病率,并评估可能导致职业倦怠的预测因素。研究设计:横断面研究。方法:采用横断面调查的方法,采用职业实现指数量表和人口统计数据,对多个NCAA一级会议进行调查。符合条件的参与者包括任何直接照顾一级NCAA球队的医生。每个项目都用5分李克特量表进行评估,并在那些达到和没有达到倦怠的人之间进行比较。采用线性回归模型和逻辑回归模型分别评估倦怠得分和倦怠成就的预测因子。结果:在89份完成的应答中,79份(79/89;89%)的参与者达到了职业倦怠的水平。根据患者人口统计数据,在倦怠成就方面没有发现显著差异。具体而言,专业(P = .16)、接受电话(P = .05)或执业年限(P = .12)在职业倦怠成就方面没有差异。线性回归模型显示,专业是影响倦怠得分的唯一显著因素,家庭医学-运动医学和其他专业的倦怠得分均高于骨科(P < 0.001和P = 0.002)。结论:与其他医师相比,NCAA医师的职业倦怠患病率极高,且缺乏预测因素,表明该问题是多因素的。进一步的研究需要进行更大的样本量,并隔离倦怠的历史因素,以更好地改善这一独特的医生群体的健康。
