High prevalence of burnout syndrome in Czech general practitioners: A cross-sectional survey

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Objective: A wide range in prevalence rates of burnout among general practitioners (GPs) has been reported invarious regions, with an increasing trend. This nationwide cross-sectional study aimed to estimate the prevalenceand associated determinants of burnout in Czech GPs.Methods: 1000 randomly selected physicians from the Czech Society of General Practitioners (through a pseudorandomnumber generator) were emailed an online survey based on the Maslach Burnout Inventory – HumanServices Survey. Data collection was performed between January and February 2023.Results: 331 questionnaires were obtained (227 females and 104 males, mean age – 49.9 years, the mean numberof registered patients – 1951). 21.8 % of GPs scored a high level of burnout in all three of its dimensions and 23.9% in no dimension at all. The most prevalent dimension was reduced personal accomplishment (PA, 56.2 %)followed by emotional exhaustion (EE, 50.2 %) and depersonalization (DP, 40.5 %). Reaching burnout in allthree dimensions was significantly more frequent in males and in GPs registering a number of patients above themedian. Increasing age and years of practice were protective factors for DP but risk factors for reduced PA.Employed GPs had lower EE scores than GP practice owners. The respondents’ basic characteristics reflectedtheir presence among Czech GPs, which testifies against selection bias.Conclusions: The high rate of burnout (~22 %) should be addressed by promoting personal resources along withthe perception of the importance of GPs in society. A sufficiently dense network of GPs should allow them toregister a lower number of patients.
