Abstract:
Objective:The incidence of occupational burnout among emergency department healthcare workers is high,and their occupational health deserves attention.Establishing a comprehensive occupational health system in medical institutions is crucial.This study aims to understand the current status of occupational burnout among emergency department healthcare workers,analyze its influencing factors,and provide references for preventing burnout in this population. Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted using convenience sampling through the Questionnaire Star platform from December 2022 to January 2023 among emergency department healthcare workers.The Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey(MBI-GS)scale was used to assess the level of occupational burnout,and univariate analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were employed to explore the influencing factors of burnout. Results:A total of 1 173 valid questionnaires were collected,with 946(80.65％)respondents experiencing occupational burnout.The proportions of mild-to-moderate and severe burnout were 73.57％and 7.08％,respectively.The scores for the three dimensions of burnout among emergency department healthcare workers were as follows:emotional exhaustion(EE)2.33±0.31;depersonalization(DP)1.88±0.28;low personal accomplishment(LPA)3.20±0.39.The overall score was 2.46±0.22.Factors associated with occupational burnout included being an only child(OR=1.362,95％CI-0.707 to-0.058),the average number of night shifts per month(OR=1.167,95％CI 0.091 to 0.272),and personal experience of workplace violence(OR=1.094,95％CI 0.027 to 0.195)(all P＜0.05). Conclusion:The incidence of occupational burnout is high among emergency department healthcare workers.Effective measures should be taken by management to promptly intervene,reduce burnout,and ensure the smooth functioning of emergency medical services.
