Background: Surgery requires stress, but it is unclear what effects it will have in the long run for surgeons. Chronic stress might have a significant impact on the character of the relationships between doctor-patient, the quality of family ties, and surgical outcomes. The current study aims to assess frequency of the burnout syndrome amongst Pakistani OMF (Oral and Maxillofacial) surgeons and their associations with the sociodemographic, habitual, and clinical variables. Methods: This study had 106 surgeons as its sample. By measuring the low and high levels of personal success and emotional tiredness respectively, as well as the high levels of depersonalization, The MBI (Maslach-Burnout-Inventory) was used to quantify the syndrome. The presence of the syndrome was assessed using the criteria of Grunfeld et al (17.2 percent). Results: Between diagnosed surgeons without and with syndrome have no significant differences are evaluated according to sex where the p = 0.197, age where the p = .804, marital status where the p = 0.238, professional experience years where the p = 0.102, number of the children where the p = 0.336, worked hours in each week where the p = 0.350, attended patients per day where the p = 0.735, practice of sports where the p = 0.243, the hobbies where the p = 0.161, the period of the vacation per annum where the p = 0.215, or the use of the smoking where the p = 0.148. Sex and smoking usage were significantly different in the emotional tiredness subscale where the p = 0.002 and in the personal accomplishment subscale where the p = 0.035. Conclusion: The average level of burnout among Pakistani surgeons indicates a poor level of personal achievement. Lastly, providing professional assistance, guidance, and inspiration to anyone interested or engaged in OMF surgery may aid in fostering its development and preventing burnout.
