Background:Burnout is recognized as a prevalent problem in contemporary society, particularly in the realm of occupational stress, and it is garnering global attention. It is identified by a sense of depleted energy, cynicism towards one's job, and diminished professional effectiveness. The level of career satisfaction serves as a crucial indicator of the quality of the healthcare system. Objective: To evaluate the correlation between clinician burnout and career satisfaction in Zagazig University Hospitals, aiming to contribute insights for the enhancement of their overall well-being in future endeavors. Subjects and Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted on 246 clinicians representing various major specialties at Zagazig University Hospitals from July to November 2023. The used structured questionnaire comprised three parts: 1) Personal and professional characteristics, 2) Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) questionnaire, and 3) Career Satisfaction assessment questionnaire. Results: Clinicians exhibited moderate levels of emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), personal accomplishment (PA), and average career satisfaction with percentages of 45.6%, 54.1%, 40.7%, and 43.5%, respectively. Pediatricians demonstrated a significantly higher risk of EE (30.02±7.1), whereas internists were notably at a higher risk of low PA (34.3±10). A significant weak negative correlation was observed between emotional exhaustion and career satisfaction (r= -0.133). Conclusions: A moderate level of burnout syndrome was identified among clinicians in Zagazig University Hospitals. Pediatricians faced a higher risk of emotional exhaustion (EE), while internists were more susceptible to low personal accomplishment (PA). Additionally, an overall average level of career satisfaction and a negative correlation between EE and career satisfaction were observed.
