Factors associated with burnout amongst medical students, residents, and attendings in Orthopaedics

ABSTRACT:

Background

Burnout is an important and timely topic in medicine as a whole and spine orthopaedics as a specialty. Prior studies analyzing burnout in orthopaedics generally assess for the prevalence of burnout, without using a targeted analysis on possible causes and/or the potential association with work hours. In addition, burnout has not been assessed along the spectrum of the orthopaedist's career.

Methods

An anonymous survey was given to 24 medical students on surgical rotations, 20 orthopaedic residents, and 20 orthopaedic surgeons between June 2019 and August 2019 at a single academic institution. The survey inquired about demographics, general attributes, work hours, and included the aMBI (abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory [aMBI]).
