1Département de psychiatrie, Faculté de Médecine de l'Université Saint-Joseph, Beyrouth, Liban; Service de psychiatrie, Hôtel Dieu de France, Centre Hospitalier de l'Université Saint-Joseph, Beyrouth, Liban.
Objective:
This study aims to determine the prevalence of burnout in a sample of Lebanese residents, and to identify its correlates and risk factors compared to local and international data.
Method:
A cross-sectional study was conducted at the end of the academic year 2018-2019, between the months of April and July, and targeted residents enrolled at Saint Joseph University, Faculty of Medicine (USJ- FM), in Beirut, Lebanon. Data was gathered via an anonymous online survey which was sent to all the residents through the Faculty administration on their personal email addresses. The questions dealt with demographic and mental health data. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) was used to measure burnout.
Results:
25.7% of the residents responded to the survey, two thirds of whom were female. 72.22% of the respondents suffered from personal burnout whereas as 77.78% suffered from work-related burnout. Only 26.39% residents were concerned with patient-related burnout. Money and professional problems were associated with burnout whereas suicidal thoughts were correlated with higher scores. Alcohol consumption was negatively correlated with CBI.
Conclusion:
The surveyed residents suffered from burnout which was mainly related to personal and occupational factors. Burnout was not an isolated entity; it should be considered as a whole and described as a subjective experience that varies from one person to another and results from complex biological, psychological and social interactions. It has consequences on the victims' health and quality of life.
