Burnout in microvascular reconstructive otolaryngology – head and neck surgeons: Potential modifiable workplace factors

xlomafota13 shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Background

Burnout has been previously assessed in head and neck microvascular reconstructive surgeons (HNMVS), but not in the context of modifiable workplace factors.

Methods

Anonymous, cross-sectional survey. The Abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory – Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel (aMBI-HSS) was utilized to assess emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal achievement (PA). Modifiable risk factors were also evaluated.

Results

High risk of burnout by EE, DP, and PA was demonstrated in 24%, 9%, and 27% of respondents, respectively. EE was associated with <10% dedicated research time, lack of autonomy over clinic schedule, inadequate inpatient support, and lack of supportive clinical partner. DP was associated with >3 operative days, difficulty balancing academic commitments, and lack of supportive clinical partner. Dedicated research time and two or fewer days of block time were protective.

Conclusions

Burnout was associated with several modifiable workplace factors. Addressing these may prevent moderate to severe burnout in HNMVS.
