| Popis: | Purpose Results of a study to determine levels of and risk factors for professional burnout among health-system pharmacists are reported. Methods The Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) was distributed to a target population of health-system pharmacists to assess study participants for burnout, which is characterized by feelings of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. Health-system pharmacists were solicited via email through a professional network listserver to complete an anonymous, electronic questionnaire regarding burnout. Demographic information, employment characteristics, and responses to the MBI-HSS were collected using a cross-sectional cohort survey methodology. Descriptive statistics were used to assess MBI-HSS scores and risk factors associated with burnout. Results Of the 371 survey responses received, 329 were complete and included in the final analysis. Overall, 175 study participants (53.2%) reported scores indicating a high degree of burnout on at least 1 subscale of the MBI-HSS. Twenty-eight respondents (8.5%) had scores indicating burnout on all 3 subscales. Average scores were 22.9, 6.2, and 36.3 for feelings of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment, respectively. Modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors for burnout were identified. The findings warrant further research on burnout prevention and action to promote resilience in the profession. Conclusion Half of health-system pharmacists assessed using the MBI-HSS in this study identified themselves as being at risk for burnout. |
