Development and validation of self-report burnout inventory for doctors (SR-BOID)
1Clinical Psychology Unit, Government College University, Lahore.
Objective:
To develop a Self-Report Burnout Inventory for Doctors, and to establish its psychometric properties.
Methods:
The study was conducted from August 2013 to December 2014 and comprised doctors from different public-sector hospitals in Lahore and Multan, Pakistan. Indicators for burnout were generated from the initial small sample of practicing doctors, while a larger sample was used for assessing the construct validity of the inventory. Exploratory factor analysis was done endowed with six inter-related factors while retaining 50 items in total.
Results:
The initial sample to generate the indicators comprised 40 doctors, while construct validity was assessed using a sample of 500 doctors. Chronbach's alpha values were 0.70 to 0.90. The discriminant validity of the inventory, assessed with a sample of 200 doctors, revealed that it discriminated well between doctors with moderate to severe burnout and doctors with normal to mild burnout (p<0.01).
Conclusions:
The Self-Report Burnout Inventory for Doctors was a reliable and valid tool which can be used with doctors to assess their level of burnout.
