Burnout and psychiatric morbidity among physicians engaged in end‐of‐life care for cancer patients: a cross‐sectional nationwide survey in Japan
Abstract
Purpose: To determine the prevalence of burnout and psychiatric morbidity among physicians engaged in end‐of‐life care for cancer patients in Japan and to explore associated factors related to end‐of‐life care. Methods: Questionnaires were mailed to 1436 Japanese clinical oncologists and palliative care physicians with a request to complete the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ‐12), and to report on individual factors, including confidence in patient care. High levels of burnout and psychiatric morbidity were identified using cut‐off scores of the MBI and GHQ‐12. Results: A total of 697 physicians returned the questionnaires (response rate, 49.6%). Twenty‐two percent of the respondents had a high level of emotional exhaustion, 11% had a high level of depersonalization, 62% had a low level of personal accomplishment, and 20% had psychiatric morbidity. Clinical oncologists showed a significantly higher psychiatric morbidity than palliative care physicians. Confidence in having sufficient time to communicate with patients was significantly associated with all the burnout subscales. Conclusions: A low level of personal accomplishment was relatively high among Japanese physicians compared with previous studies. Insufficient confidence in the psychological care of patients was associated with physician burnout rather than involvement in end‐of‐life care. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“However, assessing a patient’s mental state is difficult for oncologists because they receive little training on assessing psychological distress [35,36], so further education is needed.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
