ObjectiveTo assess factors related to burnout in anesthesia and intensive care.DesignNational prospective observational study.Materials And MethodsQuestionnaire posted on the French Society of anesthesia website from 3rd June 2009 to 27th August 2009: Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Fast Alcohol Consumption Evaluation (FACE) and The Harvard National Depression Screening Day Scale (HANDS) scales and questions to assess health, work and personal life.ResultsOne thousand six hundred and three questionnaires returned: 1091 anesthetists (67.6%), 241 intensivists (14.9%), 204 nurses (12.6%), emergency physicians (2.8%), supervisor nurses (0.9%). Seven hundred and sixty three in a university hospital (47.3%), 259 in a regional hospital (16.1%), 405 in a private structure (25.1%), 71 in a non-lucrative private structure (4.4%), 75 in a military hospital (4.6%). Rest of safety: 69.2% of institutions. Depression: 38.7%. Drug or chemicals addicted: 10.6%. Alcohol addicts: 10.6%. Among them, 62.3% of individuals were in burnout. Burnout was linked to fragmented sleep (P<0.00001), interpersonal conflicts (P<0.00001), perception of rest of safety (P<0.02), mental history (P<0.00001), suicidal ideations (P<0.00001), depression (P=0.00001), alcohol (P<0.002), drug consumption (P<0.00002), and accidents after a nightshift (P<0.05). Subjects in burnout intended more frequently to leave the profession (P<0.00001). Leaving in couple had a protective effect (P<0.005). The logistic regression model retained seven covariates independently associated with burnout: quality of work, of personal life, of fatigue, depression, conflicts with colleagues and patients, regretting the choice of specialty.ConclusionThis study of the largest cohort of anesthesia personnel performed in France detects a high proportion of burnout. It highlights links with tensors that may constitute possibilities of prevention of the burnout syndrome.Copyright © 2013 Société française d’anesthésie et de réanimation (Sfar).
