Abstract：
Burnout and emotional exhaustion are becoming common among health workers in the busy teaching hospitals due to increased workload and the dearth of human resource. This study aimed to determine the causes of burnout among doctors and across gender differences. This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in the Fauji Foundation Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, from 1st July to 30th September 2022. Two hundred and forty-five randomly recruited doctors who filled out self-administered questionnaires were included in the study. Independent samples t-test was used for comparison of the mean emotional burnout score. Female doctors felt more emotionally drained, more fatigued, and more worn out from work than male doctors (p < 0.05). Overall emotional exhaustion was also higher in female doctors (p < 0.05). This situation was more serious during the COVID-19 pandemic. Gender-sensitive environments, workplace policies, and necessary interventions will save physicians\' burnout and brain drain. Emotional burnout is greater in female doctors as compared to their male counterparts. This evidence not only calls for prevention and treatment but also certain service-related reforms to facilitate female physicians to balance out their work and family lives more effectively. Key Words: Physicians, Emotional exhaustion, Burnout, Gender difference, Pakistan.
摘要：
由于工作量的增加和人力资源的匮乏，职业倦怠和情绪疲惫在繁忙的教学医院中变得越来越普遍。这项研究旨在确定医生之间以及跨性别差异的职业倦怠的原因。这是在福吉基金会医院进行的描述性横断面研究，拉瓦尔品第,巴基斯坦,2022年7月1日至9月30日。这项研究纳入了240名随机招募的医生，他们填写了自我管理的问卷。独立样本t检验用于平均情绪倦怠评分的比较。女医生感到情绪更加疲惫，更疲劳,比男医生更疲惫（p<0.05）。女性医生的整体情绪耗竭也较高（p<0.05）。在COVID-19大流行期间，这种情况更为严重。对性别问题有敏感认识的环境，工作场所政策,必要的干预措施将挽救医生的倦怠和人才流失。与男性医生相比，女性医生的情绪倦怠更大。这些证据不仅要求进行预防和治疗，而且还要求进行某些与服务相关的改革，以促进女医生更有效地平衡其工作和家庭生活。关键词:内科医生,情绪疲惫，倦怠,性别差异,巴基斯坦。
