Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the sleep quality， depressive status， and occupational burnout among neurosurgery residents and analyze the influencing factors of occupational burnout， in order to provide a scientific basis for improving the occupational burnout of neurosurgery residents.

Methods

A cluster sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on occupational burnout， self-assessment of depression， and sleep quality among neurosurgery residents in training in Beijing. Univariate analysis，Pearson correlation analysis， and multivariate analysis were conducted to identify the influencing factors of occupational burnout among neurosurgery residents.

Results

A total of 210 valid questionnaires were collected， in which 141 individuals （67.1%） reported experiencing occupational burnout. Poor health，smoking， poor sleep quality， and depressive state were risk factors for emotional exhaustion. Drinking alcohol， long working hours， poor sleep quality， and moderate to severe depressive state were risk factors for depersonalization. Having parents working in the medical field and personal income satisfaction for daily expenses were protective factors for low personal accomplishment， while smoking， long working hours， poor sleep quality， and mild depressive state were risk factors for the same. Smoking， alcohol consumption， and long working hours were identified as risk factors for occupational burnout among neurosurgery residents.

Conclusion

Smoking， alcohol consumption， and long working hours are important risk factors for occupational burnout， while poor sleep quality and depressive state are common risk factors for emotional exhaustion， depersonalization， and low personal accomplishment. Effective and timely interventions， such as reasonable work schedule arrangements and psychological support， should be implemented by managers to reduce occupational burnout among healthcare professionals， ensuring both the quality of medical care and the physical and mental well-being of physicians.
