World Family Medicine. 2021; 19(1): 133-147 DOI: 10.5742/MEWFM.2021.93959

Abstract

Material and Methods: English and in Turkish databases (Pub Med, Google Scholar, Ulakbim) were searched by using key words of physician, burnout and Turkey to identify Turkish physician burnout studies that have been published.

Results: The databases search resulted in finding of forty-nine articles most of which were regional and only seven representing the nationwide perspective. A total of 12,598 physicians were evaluated in the surveys. The calculated mean values, supposedly roughly representing the total universe evaluated in all studies, were 18.3 for emotional exhaustion (EE), 7.9 for depersonalisation (DP) and 20.1 for personal accomplishment (PA), respectively.

Conclusion: There is a low level of EE, DP and a high decrease in the sense of PA in physicians working in Turkey. The overall burnout experienced by them is not very high, but also is not very low. Female physicians appear to be at higher risk for EE sub-dimension and the risk of burnout is reduced with increasing age or experience.

Key words: physician, burnout, review, Turkey.
