Abstract
AIM: to identify risk factors for burnout of healthcare employees and to identify the most vulnerable category of practicing physicians.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: an observational study based on a public survey started from June to August 2022. The validated Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire was used as a burnout assessment tool. An integral burnout index was calculated, on the basis of which significant risk factors were analyzed. The results obtained are presented in the form of a predictive nomogram.
RESULTS: the high degree of emotional burnout in Russia among doctors reaches 32%. The most significant professional risk factors are relationships between colleagues (p = 0.0002), overtime work (p = 0.006), work in outpatient unit (p = 0.006), with severe patients (p = 0.008) and uneven planning of work activities (0.0004). The protective factors are: family (p = 0.001), sports (p = 0.001), meditation (p = 0.005) and talking about own problems (p = 0.01).
CONCLUSION: burnout is a multifactorial problem. The proposed nomogram is useful for identification of the most vulnerable specialists.
