Background Although burnout levels in oncologists are likely high, its predictors remain poorly understood. Aims This study was aimed to verify the prevalence of occupational burnout in oncology doctors and nurses in the major cancer centre in Kazakhstan and to elucidate its predictors to plan future prevention activities. Methods In the leading tertiary-level cancer centre in Kazakhstan, we recruited 256 subjects (67% doctors and 33% nurses, 62% women, median age 37.5 [interquartile range 15] years) and offered them Maslach Burnout Inventory to quantify emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP) and personal accomplishment (PA). Demographics, fatigue, health-related quality of life with SF-8 and lifestyle were tested as predictors of burnout in multivariate logistic regression models. Results Number of subjects with high EE was 121 (47%), high DP was 161 (63%) and high PA was 152 (59%). Fatigue, worse mental component score (MCS), being single and not exercising regularly predicted more burnout in EE. Fatigue, worse physical component score (PCS) and worse MCS predicted more burnout in DP. Finally, more burnout in PA was independently associated with fatigue, worse PCS, being married or divorced and having a university or academic degree. Conclusions The prevalence of occupational burnout in oncologists was high, necessitating early burnout prevention programmes, addressing, among other, fatigue reduction and regular exercise.

哈萨克斯坦肿瘤学家的职业倦怠

背景 尽管肿瘤学家的倦怠水平可能很高，但其预测因素仍然知之甚少。目的 本研究旨在验证哈萨克斯坦主要癌症中心的肿瘤医生和护士职业倦怠的患病率，并阐明其预测因素以规划未来的预防活动。方法 在哈萨克斯坦领先的三级癌症中心，我们招募了 256 名受试者（67% 的医生和 33% 的护士，62% 的女性，中位年龄 37.5 [四分位距 15] 岁），并为他们提供 Maslach 倦怠量表来量化情绪衰竭（ EE）、人格解体（DP）和个人成就（PA）。在多元逻辑回归模型中测试了人口统计学、疲劳、SF-8 与健康相关的生活质量和生活方式作为倦怠的预测因素。结果 EE 高的受试者人数为 121 (47%)，高 DP 为 161 (63%)，高 PA 为 152 (59%)。疲劳、较差的心理成分评分 (MCS)、单身和不经常锻炼预示着 EE 会出现更多的倦怠。疲劳、更差的物理成分评分 (PCS) 和更差的 MCS 预示着 DP 会出现更多的倦怠。最后，PA 中更多的倦怠与疲劳、更差的 PCS、结婚或离婚以及拥有大学或学术学位独立相关。结论 肿瘤科医生职业倦怠的患病率很高，因此需要尽早制定职业倦怠预防计划，解决疲劳减轻和定期锻炼等问题。最后，PA 中更多的倦怠与疲劳、更差的 PCS、结婚或离婚以及拥有大学或学术学位独立相关。结论 肿瘤科医生职业倦怠的患病率很高，因此需要尽早制定职业倦怠预防计划，解决疲劳减轻和定期锻炼等问题。最后，PA 中更多的倦怠与疲劳、更差的 PCS、结婚或离婚以及拥有大学或学术学位独立相关。结论 肿瘤科医生职业倦怠的患病率很高，因此需要尽早制定职业倦怠预防计划，解决疲劳减轻和定期锻炼等问题。
