| description | Abstract Background To examine the satisfaction rates and burnout feelings amongst residents physicians in different specialties and to examine associated affecting factors. Method Clalit Health Services (CHS) is the largest health maintenance provider in Israel. A survey was designed by an interdisciplinary team with questions addressing residency and the balance between residency and personal life, as well as the balance between residency and personal life, and was sent to all residents of CHS via personal email from March to May 2022. Results Four hundred sixty seven residents completed the survey. The mean satisfaction rate from the residency was 7.4 (± 1.93, 2–10). The highest satisfaction rate from residency was amongst anesthetics, psychiatrists and ophthalmologists ( 8.6, 8.1 and 8.0, respectively) while the lowest was among general surgeons, oncologists, plastic surgeons and orthopedic surgeons (6.8, 6.8, 6.7, 6.1, respectively). There was no correlation between satisfaction rates and monthly working hours or number of overnight shifts. Seventy four percent feel frequent burnout due to high workload and 68% feel frequent burnout due to high number of administrative tasks. Seventy three percent chose the work environment in their department as most influential of their residency experience, 61% chose relations between attending physicians and residents as most significant, and 60% chose the education during the residency as most influential during their residency training. Conclusions Satisfaction rates from the residency training require improvement, with differences between the residencies. Number of working hours and number of overnight shifts did not correlate with the satisfaction rates. The factor that influences the most between satisfactory rate and less burnout is the relationship with colleagues and good training programs. Major efforts should be done to improve these factors. |
