N Contact information Name: by Title Burnout survey The Maslach Burnout Inventory – Human Services Survey, a 22-question, validated questionnaire, was sent to all MUSC residents (n=12) and academic faculty (n=12). Dr. Das collected the responses anonymously, analyzed data with SPSS Statistics software, and compared averages to normative data of more than 11,000 healthcare workers. Clinically significant burnout is defined as high scores in emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), or both. The survey showed that 42% of both faculty and residents met criteria for burnout with residents trend- ing toward higher depersonalization and faculty trending toward higher emotional exhaustion. In 58% of residents and faculty, there was no signifi- cant EE or DP. In 25% of both groups, there was high EE and DP. High DP was noted in 17% of residents and high EE was noted in 17% of the faculty. "The overall rates of emotional exhaustion were comparable among faculty, residents, and average health- care workers," Dr. Das said. "Faculty trended toward lower levels of depersonalization compared to residents and average healthcare workers. Residents and faculty each had significantly higher levels of personal achievement com- pared to the average worker in healthcare." The rate of faculty burnout (42%) in the survey was comparable to specialty-specific data published by the Mayo Clinic in a study on executive leadership and phy- sician well-being. 3 The rate of resident burnout (42%) in the survey appeared lower than rates of burnout within ophthalmology residency (66%), according to data cur- rently being prepared for manuscript submission. Overall, MUSC physicians appeared to be doing as well or better than national averages for levels of burnout. The study authors suggested that the trend toward higher levels of emotional exhaustion in faculty may result from less inherent control in the academic setting and that the trend toward higher levels of depersonalization among residents may result from the rigors of a learning environment that detracts from patient care. Significantly increased levels of personal achievement could result from an academic environment in which achievement is more objectively measured. "The similarities between rates of burnout for faculty and residents within the same institution suggest that there may be systemic factors that are protective or increase risk. More data is necessary to assess if similar findings hold true at other institutions. Additional studies are needed to determine what specific institutional factors are most influ- ential with respect to burnout," Dr. Das said.
