你今天burnout了嗎？

你今天burnout了嗎？

聽首歌...喔不

來看看JAMA最近熱烈迴響的議題好嗎:

Original的一篇:

JAMA. 2010 Sep 15;304(11):1173-80.

Relationship between burnout and professional conduct and attitudes among US medical students.

CONCLUSION: Burnout was associated with self-reported unprofessional conduct and less altruistic professional values among medical students at 7 US schools.

還有這篇:

Acad Med. 2010 Oct;85(10 Suppl):S33-6.

Relationships between medical student burnout, empathy, and professionalism climate.

RESULTS: Scores indicative of higher medical student burnout were associated with lower medical student empathy scores and with lower professionalism climate scores observed in medical students, residents, and faculty.

CONCLUSIONS: Investigators observed relationships between medical student burnout, empathy, and professionalism climate. These findings may have implications for the design of curriculum interventions to promote student well-being and professionalism.

然後最近就有很多letter回在期刊上。

雖然是不意外的結果，但是希望能有人聽到這些聲音並做點事情，

不過不要再多上什麼醫德課了。

（雖然看到上面結論的最後一句話就想說又是打高空了。）

補充一下:

The burnout syndrome is characterized by:

1. losing enthusiasm for work (emotional exhaustion)

2. treating people as if they were objects (depersonalization)

3. having a sense that work is no longer meaningful (low personal accomplishment).

Numerous global studies involving nearly every medical and surgical specialty indicate that approximately 1 of every 3 physicians is experiencing burnout at any given time.
