The impact of emotional burnout in psychiatrists on the outcomes of the care they provide; [Влияние эмоционального выгорания врачей-психиатров на результаты оказываемой ими помощи]

The quality of medical care largely depends on the mental well-being of medical staff. One of the most common manifestations of work-related distress is emotional burnout syndrome (EBS). The emotional burnout in psychiatrists is favored by many specific work factors. Objective: to investigate the relationship between EBS in psychiatrists and the outcomes of the care they provide. Material and methods. Eighty-two psychiatrists working in psychiatric clinics in Moscow took part in the study. They completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory on their own. Two hundred medical records of hospitalized patients suffering from paranoid schizophrenia were selected. A total of 100 patient records of psychiatrists with emotional burnout and 100 patient records of psychiatrists without emotional burnout were analyzed. Results. Emotional burnout was found in 25.6% of psychiatrists. In cases of emotional burnout, psychiatrists were more likely to prescribe anticholinergic corrective medication for extrapyramidal symptoms (61% versus 44%; p=0.023). The presence of emotional burnout in psychiatrists correlated with a longer duration of hospitalization of patients they cared for (31.2 versus 29 days; p=0.004) and with more frequent polypharmacy (67% versus 51%; p=0.031). Conclusion. Emotional burnout in psychiatrists has a negative impact on the quality of care they provide. © 2024 Ima-Press Publishing House. All rights reserved.
