Burnout among gynaecological residents in Lahore, Pakistan: A cross-sectional survey.
JPMA. the Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association 2017 September
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of burnout among gynaecological residents and factors associated with it.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study was performed at the University Medical and Dental College, Faisalabad, Pakistan, from March to April 2016, and comprised female medical students. Participants were divided into groups on the basis of their ABO blood groups and on body mass index criteria. Blood groups were determined by simple conventional slide method. Blood pressure was estimated by manual auscultatory technique with a mercury sphygmomanometer. Data was analysed usingSPSS20.
RESULTS: Of the 102 participants, 57(55.9%) were satisfied after choosing gynaecology as career. It was found that emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation were significantly higher among residents working in government institutions than private institutions (p<0.05). Those having more than 2 years of post-graduate experience had significantly higher depersonalisation than those with lesser experience (p=0.016). Also, working for 50-60 hours/week and feeling dissatisfied with the specialty were associated with significantly higher emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation (p<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Burnout was highly prevalent among gynaecological residents.
