A Survey Study on the Job Burnout of Chinese Endoscopy Nurses

Occupational burnout (burnout) was proposed by American psychologist Herbert Freudenberger in 1974, who it as a syndrome caused by prolonged exposure to workplace stress that is not successfully managed. Subsequently, Maslach et al. believed that occupational burnout refers an excessive physical and mental consumption state of individuals under prolonged work pressure, including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment. In January 222, the WHO's "International Classification of Diseases, 11th Edition" included "occupational burnout" for the first time, officially recognizing as a disease, considering occupational burnout to be a syndrome caused by prolonged work pressure that is not effectively managed. Compared with other professions, doctors and nurses are higher risk of occupational burnout. Occupational burnout is closely related to the work quality of medical staff, doctor-patient relationship, and mental and physical health. 2022, 47% of 13,000 doctors in the United States experienced occupational burnout. Whether occupational burnout mental and physical health, thereby affecting the quality of medical care, deserves further study.
