Abstract:

This study identified factors associated with burnout among physicians at a public hospital in Recife, Brazil. 158 physicians (92.4%) responded to a self-administered questionnaire (sociodemographic characteristics, working conditions and Maslach Burnout Inventory). Burnout was defined by a superposition of high scores in emotional exhaustion (EE) and depersonalization (DP) and low scores on personal accomplishment at work (PA). Chi-square and Fisher‘s exact testwas used in the analysis. 5.1% had burnout. Physicians woman were predominated in the sample (83.5%) and working more than ten years in the profession (81.6%). High levels were found in EE (61.4%) and DP (36.7%) and low level in PA (13.3%). There was an association between: high EE and "often/always" work very quickly and "never/sometimes" have enough time for tasks; high level of DP and work up to ten years in the profession and "often/always" do tasks very fast; low level of PA and female gender and "never/sometimes" have enough time for tasks. Burnout and "often/always" work very quickly, "never/sometimes" have enough time for tasks, being of male gender and have no expectation of professional growth. 37.3% for two of the three dimensions indicates a high propensity to the syndrome, making urgent transformation in the working conditions.
