Abstract:
Objective To scientifically assess the degree of " overwork" and its influencing factors of doctors and nurses at county hospitals. Methods Six county hospitals were selected as the research objects. Descriptive analysis, chi-square test and ordered multi-class regression were used to analyze the degree of " overwork" and its influencing factors of doctors and nurses. Results 48. 3％ (156 / 323)of the doctors at these hospitals were working more than 60 hours per week. Work hours per week of the doctors were significantly longer than those of the nurses. At the same time, the workload of doctors based on the fatigue self-assessment scale was also significantly higher than that of the nurses, while 61. 9％ (200 / 323) of the doctors were exposed to a very high workload, and so were 33. 3％ (118 / 354) of the nurses. There were significant differences in the workload of doctors and nurses in terms of their gender, age, education level, seniority and number of children. And the work hours per week were an important factor affecting the workload of doctors and nurses.
