Abstract

Aim: Burnout is prevalent among medical professionals, particularly during training, and can lead to detrimental personal and professional outcomes. This study aims to assess burnout levels among New Zealand ophthalmology registrars.

Methods: A cross-sectional, anonymous online survey was administered to trainee and non-trainee ophthalmology registrars across New Zealand. The survey collected demographic data, details about the work environment within ophthalmology departments, experiences with the impact of COVID-19 and assessed burnout levels using the Maslach Burnout Inventory - Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel (MBI-HSS MP).

Results: Forty-five of 65 ophthalmology registrars (69%) completed the survey. Burnout was prevalent, affecting 55% of trainees and 77% of non-trainees. Non-trainees demonstrated significantly higher levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation compared with trainees, with 64.3% and 57.1% of non-trainees, respectively, demonstrating burnout in the severe range. Additionally, workload manageability was found to have a significant association with burnout (p=0.0448), with non-trainees facing greater difficulty in managing their workload.

Conclusion: Burnout is highly prevalent among New Zealand ophthalmology registrars, with non-trainees particularly affected.

新西兰眼科注册医师职业倦怠的评估。

目的：职业倦怠在医疗专业人员中很普遍，特别是在培训期间，并可能导致有害的个人和职业结果。本研究旨在评估新西兰眼科注册医师的职业倦怠水平。方法：对新西兰见习和非见习眼科注册医师进行横断面匿名在线调查。该调查收集了人口统计数据、眼科部门工作环境的详细信息、2019冠状病毒病影响的经验，并使用Maslach倦怠量表-医务人员人力服务调查（MBI-HSS MP）评估了倦怠水平。结果：65名眼科注册医师中有45名（69%）完成了调查。职业倦怠很普遍，55%的学员和77%的非学员受到影响。与实习生相比，非实习生表现出更高的情绪耗竭和人格解体水平，分别有64.3%和57.1%的非实习生表现出严重范围的倦怠。此外，工作量可管理性被发现与倦怠有显著关联（p=0.0448），非培训生在管理工作量方面面临更大的困难。结论：职业倦怠在新西兰眼科注册医师中非常普遍，非培训生尤其严重。
