Methods and materials
Two-hundred residents from major departments in our medical faculty were included to the study and filled out the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI): 109 from internal medicine,
47 from surgery,
20 from basic science,
24 from emergency medicine. Data was collected in 5 days with the help of 5 medical students assigned to reach the residents.
MBI scale presented information in 3 dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE) (tiredness,
somatic symptoms and decreased emotional resources),
depersonalization (DP) (developing negative,
cynical attitudes and impersonal feelings towards their patients) and lack of personal accomplishment (PA) (feelings of incompetence,
inefficiency and inadequacy) (6).
Related scores of emotional exhaustion (EE),
decreased accomplishment (DA) and depersonalization (DP) were calculated,
and compared between different groups. Burnout was defined by one abnormal score in one or more of the three dimensions (EE,
DP or PA).
Apart from MBI scale,
demographic data were collected regarding age and gender.
They were also asked to fill out a questionnaire with regard to,
marital status,
having a child or not,
living alone or with family,
the amount of salary,
smoking,
exercising and sleeping habits,
medical history,
daytime and night shift hours.
The correlation between MBI scores and possible contributing factors,
including demographic structures,
work-life circumstances,
stress,
and abuse was searched.
Student t-test,
one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Bonferroni tests were used for statistical analysis.
