Abstract
PURPOSE: To assess the prevalence of burnout amongst Interventional Radiologists (IRs) in the United Kingdom and identify demographic and practice-related stressors that may adversely affect well-being. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A survey of 36 questions was divided into two sections. Section A consisted of 14 questions that assessed demographics and work characteristics; Section B assessed burnout, utilizing the 22-item Maslach burnout inventory. Four additional open-ended questions were included to allow participants to voice opinions on the biggest contributors to workplace burnout and plans that could be implemented to alleviate this. The questionnaire was distributed to the British Society of interventional (BSIR) members. The study was conducted between August and September 2022. RESULTS: Moderate to severe scores in emotional exhaustion (EE) were recorded in 65% of participants (moderate 26%; severe 39%) of participants r. Moderate to severe depersonalization (DP) scores were recorded in 46% of participants (moderate 23%; severe 23%). Low-moderate levels of personal accomplishment (PA) scores were recorded in 77% of respondents (low 50%; moderate 27%). Weekly hours and out-of-hour IR cover were statistically significant in predicting emotional exhaustion. Age, sex (male), time available for teaching, and weekly hours were statistically significant in predicting the depersonalisation score. Age was a predictive factor for personal accomplishment. The most recurring themes in open response to major contributors of burnout were shortage of IR clinicians and supporting staff as well as the increasing IR workload. CONCLUSIONS: This survey has demonstrated high prevalence of burnout amongst Interventional Radiologists in UK. Urgent measures are required to tackle the workforce shortage, recognition of IR workload and control IR resources.
