BACKGROUND: Anaesthesiology practitioners experience extraordinary pressure and stress in their daily work. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this research is to assess the occupational factors and burnout syndrome among anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology technicians in Kosovo. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study carried out on a sample of 154 (out of 220) anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology technicians in Kosovo. We collected the data using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Occupational Role Stressors Scale. RESULTS: The mean ± SD age of the study sample was 42.5 ± 8.7 years, and 57% of them were working more than 40 h per week. A high level of burnout in terms of depersonalization (DP) was found among 48 of anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology technicians, 26 had high level of emotional exhaustion (EE). EE and DP showed significant positive correlation with work overload, managerial responsibility role, and overall occupational stress (p < 0.05). Female anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology technicians showed higher score of personal achievement (PA) compared to males (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Approximately one-third of Kosovar anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology technicians showed high level of burnout and it is rising as work overload and the role of managerial responsibility increases. Increasing the number of employed anaesthesiologists and anaesthesiology technicians in health institutions in Kosovo will lead to a better workload distribution and lower burnout syndrome.

ABSTRACT Objective: to determine the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome (BS) for surgeons working in referral hospital for trauma in Maceio and to evaluate the possible correlation between BS and weekly workload. Methods: cross-sectional study with 43 on-call surgeons at Professor Osvaldo Brandão Vilela General State Hospital, Maceió, between July and December, 2015. A self-administered form was used to evaluate BS through the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and socio-demographic characteristics among participants. Spearman's S test was used to compare BS and weekly workload. Significant level was 5%. Results: among the surgeons studied, 95.35% were male and the mean age was 43.9 ± 8.95 years. The mean weekly workload on call in trauma was 33.90 ± 16.82 hours. The frequency of high scores in at least one of the three dimensions of MBI was 46.5%. Professional achievement was correlated with weekly workload (P = 0.020). Conclusion: the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome among on-call surgeons in referral hospital for trauma was 46.5%. In this sample there was correlation between weekly workload and the Burnout Syndrome.

A Síndrome de Burnout (SB) é caracterizada por estresse e exaustão relacionados ao trabalho, e afeta profissionais de diferentes áreas. O objetivo nesse estudo foi avaliar a prevalência da SB em professores de uma faculdade de Odontologia brasileira, e investigar se existem fatores sociodemográficos associados a essa condição. Quarenta e oito de um total de 72 professores de Odontologia (66,7%) participaram do estudo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário sociodemográfico adaptado a partir do Inventário Burnout de Copenhagen (CBI), que analisa essa condição em quatro dimensões: burnout pessoal (PB), burnout relacionado ao trabalho (WRB), burnout relacionado aos colegas de trabalho (CWPRB) e burnout relacionado aos pacientes (PRB). Análises descritivas, testes t-student e ANOVA foram realizados. Entre os participantes, 60,4% eram graduados em Odontologia há mais de 15 anos, e 64,6% trabalhavam como professores na clínica. As maiores pontuações médias corresponderam às dimensões WRB (2,51) e PB (2,43), enquanto as menores foram relacionadas ao CWPRB (1,96) e ao PRB (1,81). Os escores não foram relacionados ao gênero, tempo de graduação ou anos de experiência no ensino. A maioria dos entrevistados classificou as condições de trabalho como "regular" (43,7%) e "ruim" (29,2%), com diferenças significantes em relação à variável materiais e equipamentos. Em conclusão, alguns professores mostraram sinais da SB, principalmente nas dimensões PB e WRB. Estudos similares devem ser realizados em diferentes cursos de Odontologia para investigar a presença da síndrome e prevenir seu desenvolvimento ou progressão.

Introduction Burnout syndrome is common among medical students, but findings about the gender differences in burnout are not consistent. The aim of this study was to assess high risk of burnout syndrome among medical students at one University in Serbia, by gender. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Faculty of Medical Sciences, University of Kragujevac in 2014. The Maslach Burnout Inventory—Student Survey was used for assessment of burnout level. A questionnaire on basic socio-demographic characteristics (age, gender, marital status, habits, etc.) and academic performance (year of study, cumulative total average grade, length of study, housing, study financing, etc.) was used. The study included a total of 760 medical students (760/836 medical students; participation rate: 90.9%). Logistic regression analysis was used to determine odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results Significant gender differences were detected in prevalence of high risk of burnout syndrome (male students– 19.0% vs. female students– 12.8%, p = 0.024). A significant independent predictor of high risk for burnout syndrome in male medical students was study year (p for trend = 0.011), while in female medical students–study year (p for trend = 0.002) and use of sedatives (adjusted OR = 5.74, 95% CI = 1.96–16.77, p = 0.001). Conclusion Our results indicate the need to assess the risk of burnout syndrome at the very beginning of medical studies, in order to more effectively control the modifiable risk factors.
