ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
A recent study showed a high prevalence of burnout in pediatric radiology.OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate potential stressors contributing to burnout in pediatric radiology. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Society for Pediatric Radiology members received an invitation for an anonymous survey evaluating stressors contributing to burnout. Stressors evaluated included call burden, financial stress, work-life balance, health care evolution and job market changes, and radiology as a career choice. Additional questions regarding demographics were obtained.RESULTS:
The response rate was 460/1,453 (32%). The prevalence of emotional exhaustion was 66% (286/435), depersonalization was 61% (265/433) and perceived lack of personal accomplishment was 15% (67/436). In a backward selective logistic regression model, work-life imbalance and call burden were the only significant factors predicting higher emotional exhaustion (P<0.001). Using a similar model, work-life imbalance, call burden and decreased rate of reimbursement were significantly associated with higher probability of depersonalization (P=0.033, 0.0002 and 0.015, respectively). Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were significantly associated with higher odds of a radiologist's wish to work in another medical specialty (P=0.011 and 0.002, respectively).CONCLUSION:
Key stressors contributing to burnout in pediatric radiology include work-life imbalance, pediatric call burden and a decreased rate of reimbursement. Burnout in pediatric radiology is a serious issue that needs to be addressed and prioritized on the individual and departmental/institutional levels and further investigated to develop effective interventions to mitigate it.Palavras-chave
