Abstract

Introduction

Burnout syndrome is a significant occupational phenomenon among healthcare professionals, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment. Urologists, due to the demands of their specialty, are particularly vulnerable. This study aims to assess the prevalence and risk factors for burnout syndrome among urologists in Spain.

Method

A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 257 practicing urologists in Spain. Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and additional demographic and occupational questions. Burnout was defined based on high emotional exhaustion combined with either high depersonalization or low personal accomplishment. Statistical analyses included univariate and multivariate logistic regression to identify significant predictors.

Results

In the study, the prevalence of burnout among Spanish urologists was 54.9%. Fewer years of experience and female gender were associated with higher burnout rates. Significant stressors included workload and work schedule. Despite the high prevalence, only one third of affected professionals sought psychological support.

Conclusions

Burnout is highly prevalent among Spanish urologists and poses serious risks to both healthcare professionals and patients. Its impact on patient care includes increased likelihood of medical errors, reduced quality of care and patient satisfaction. Targeted interventions and psychological support are urgently needed to address this issue.

西班牙泌尿科医生的倦怠综合症：流行率、危险因素和对精神健康的影响

职业倦怠综合征是一种重要的职业现象，主要表现为情绪耗竭、人格解体和个人成就感降低。泌尿科医生，由于他们的专业需求，是特别脆弱的。本研究旨在评估西班牙泌尿科医生中职业倦怠综合征的患病率和危险因素。方法对西班牙257名执业泌尿科医师进行横断面调查。数据收集使用马斯拉克职业倦怠量表和额外的人口统计和职业问题。倦怠的定义是基于高度情绪耗竭并伴有高度去人格化或低个人成就感。统计分析包括单变量和多变量逻辑回归，以确定显著的预测因子。结果西班牙泌尿科医师职业倦怠率为54.9%。经验年数较少和女性与较高的倦怠率相关。重要的压力源包括工作量和工作安排。尽管患病率很高，但只有三分之一的受影响专业人员寻求心理支持。结论职业倦怠在西班牙泌尿科医生中非常普遍，给医护人员和患者都带来了严重的风险。它对患者护理的影响包括增加医疗差错的可能性，降低护理质量和患者满意度。迫切需要有针对性的干预措施和心理支持来解决这个问题。
