ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to explore the areas of psychological well-being, satisfaction at work, and burnout among non-consultant psychiatrists in Ireland, and to assess for potential contributory factors.METHODS:
The College of Psychiatrists of Ireland distributed the survey online to 100 non-consultant psychiatry doctors working in Ireland. The survey contained questions relating to demographic and work-related variables, the Abbreviated-Maslach Burnout Inventory (a-MBI), Basic Needs Satisfaction at Work (BNSW) scale, and WHO-5 Well-being Index. Descriptive statistics were used by the authors to summarize the data and univariate associations were explored between baseline data and subscales.RESULTS:
Sixty-nine percent of our sample completed the survey. Thirty-six percent of the sample met the criteria for burnout, with lack of supervision the only variable significantly associated with this. Lack of regular supervision was associated with lower scores across all work satisfaction domains of the BNSW scale. The WHO-5 Well-being Index identified that 30% of respondents scored low in personal well-being, indicating that this proportion screened positive for depression, based on international diagnostic criteria. Lack of regular supervision was found to be significantly associated with low psychological well-being.CONCLUSION:
This study indicates that lack of supervision is significantly associated with burnout, lower satisfaction at work, and poorer psychological well-being. Close evaluation of these areas is important to identify vulnerable individuals and areas of training which can be improved upon, which may lead to relevant measures being implemented for the benefit of psychiatrists, patients, and the wider society.Palabras clave
