BackgroundPhysician burnout has a negative impact on both physicians and patients. Limited information is available on professional burnout of neurologists. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of burnout among neurologists caring for patients with cognitive disorders and to identify associated factors.MethodsAn online, cross-sectional study was conducted in collaboration with the Spanish Society of Neurology. Neurologists involved in the care of patients with cognitive disorders answered a survey composed of demographic characteristics, professional background, clinical practice setting, and behavioral factors. Burnout was assessed using a single-item measure from the Physician Work Life Study. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the association between neurologists' characteristics and burnout.ResultsA total of 188 neurologists answered the survey. The mean age (standard deviation-SD) was 40.6 (11.3) years and 52.7% were male. The majority of participants were general neurologists (60.6%) who attending a median of 20 patients with cognitive disorders (interquartile range 10.0-30.0) weekly. Thirty-nine participants (20.7%) reported burnout. Participants with burnout had greater experiences of regret associated with past clinical decisions than their counterparts (mean Regret Intensity Scale scores of 2.3 and 1.9, respectively; p = 0.003). Burnout was associated with non-academic practice (OR = 3.02 [95% CI 1.18, 7.73], p = 0.021) and care-related regret (OR = 2.53 [95% CI 1.13, 5.64], p = 0.023) in the multivariate analysis after adjustment for confounders.ConclusionsProfessional burnout was a common phenomenon among neurologists managing cognitive disorders. Identifying physician burnout and its associated factors may be critical for implementing preventive intervention strategies. |
