Abstract

Aim: Burnout syndrome is a major problem, especially among health care workers. The higher the sense of individual skills and achievement, the lower the likelihood of burnout syndrome. The objective of the study is to measure the level of burnout and job satisfaction of family physicians. Methods: Both data of the Family Physicians (FPs) who are working in rural and urban has been included in the study. The study is designed to measure their level of burnout and job satisfaction using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Minnesota Work Satisfaction Questionnaire. Their relationship with the working area and other factors is also analyzed. Results: Maslach depersonalization subscale was found to be significantly higher in those who lived alone, those who defined their location as rural, and those who did not participate in continuing medical education (CME) (p=0.02, p=0.01, p=0.03). While Maslach personal achievement score was low in those who define their location as rural (p=0.01) it was found to be higher in women and those who did not participate in CME (p=0.02, p=0.03). In addition, as age increases, Maslach emotional burnout and depersonalization scores decrease and personal success scores increase (r =-0.169, -0.205, 0.163 and p=0.00, p=0.00, p=0.00). Conclusions: Emotional and total burnout scores decreased with age, and that attending CME increased personal achievement. CME could be a beneficial tool not only to support FPs but also to prevent burnout.

AİLE HEKİMLERİNDE TÜKENMİŞLİK VE İŞ DOYUMU

Abstract

Amaç: Tükenmişlik sendromu özellikle sağlık çalışanları arasında önemli bir sorundur. Bireysel beceri ve başarı duygusu ne kadar yüksekse, tükenmişlik sendromu olasılığı o kadar düşüktür. Araştırmanın amacı, aile hekimlerinin tükenmişlik ve iş doyum düzeylerini ölçmektir. Yöntemler: Çalışmaya kırsal ve kentsel alanda çalışan aile hekimlerinin verileri dahil edilmiştir. Çalışma, Maslach Tükenmişlik Envanteri, Minnesota İş Doyum Anketi kullanılarak tükenmişlik ve iş doyum düzeylerini ölçmek için tasarlanmıştır. Çalışma alanı ve diğer etmenlerle ilişkileri de incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Maslach duyarsızlaşma alt ölçeği, yalnız yaşayanlarda, bulunduğu yeri kırsal olarak tanımlayanlarda ve sürekli tıp eğitimine (STE) katılmayanlarda (p=0,02, p=0,01, p=0,03) anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu. Maslach kişisel başarı puanı, bulunduğu yeri kırsal olarak tanımlayanlarda düşük (p=0,01) iken, kadınlarda ve STE'ye katılmayanlarda daha yüksek bulundu (p=0,02, p=0,03). Ayrıca yaş arttıkça Maslach duygusal tükenmişlik ve duyarsızlaşma puanları azalmakta ve kişisel başarı puanları artmaktadır (r =-0,169, -0,205, 0,163 ve p=0,00, p=0,00, p=0,00). Sonuçlar: Duygusal ve toplam tükenmişlik puanları yaşla birlikte azalmaktadır. STE'ye katılmanın kişisel başarıyı artırdığı görüldü. STE, yalnızca aile hekimlerini desteklemek için değil, aynı zamanda tükenmişliği önlemek için de yararlı bir araç olabilir.
