ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Cancer caregivers are at high risk of burn-out, with potential severe consequences on professionals' health and on patients' care. We have investigated the prevalence of burn-out and its impact in terms of psychological morbidity among French radiation oncologists. METHODS AND MATERIALS An anonymous online questionnaire was advertised in all French senior radiation oncologists and residents, including demographical data, job-related stress factors, drug use, the Maslach Burn-out Inventory (MBI) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12).RESULTS:
The response rates were 37% (76 out of 204) for radiation oncologists and 22% (166 out of 751) for residents. Sixty-four (84%) radiation oncology residents and 104 (63%) radiation oncologists met criteria for moderate/severe burn-out (odd ratio 2.1 [95% confidence interval 1.0-4.8], P=0.03). Radiation oncology residents were more prone to depersonalization (P<0.001) and lower personal accomplishment (P<0.001). Burn-out was more frequent in radiation oncologists working for public facilities. Symptoms of depression (GHQ-12≥4) were reported by 42% of residents and 36% of radiation oncologists (P=0.40). Psychological morbidity, suicidal ideation and anxiolytic consumption were more frequent in burnt out responders.CONCLUSION:
Our figures are in the highest range of published data. Active screening and prevention of burn-out should be implemented and particularly aimed at radiation oncology residents.Palabras clave
