Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 56, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim: This study was conducted to determine level of the musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), quality of life, fatigue, and depression among the healthcare professionals. Materials and Methods: Questionnaires including the professional quality of life (ProQOL R-IV), which is composed of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and compassion fatigue subscales, beck depression inventory (BDI), and working-related MSD were distributed to the 450 avaible healthcare givers. This descriptive study was carried out in Atatürk Educational and Research Hospital between January 2012 and July 2013. Results: Mean age was 33.71 ± 8.9 years in this study. MSD were reported in 82.8% of the study subjects. 45.5% of healthcare providers suffered from high risk scores for compassion satisfaction, 21.5% for burnout and 29.7% for compassion fatigue. Physicians had statistically significantly high risks scores for all subscales of ProQOL R-IV in comparison with other healthcare providers. Conclusion: Being a healthcare provider, especially a physician, constitutes high risk factor for poor QOL. Young age, shorter duration of work experience, and existence of musculoskeletal problems comprises important risks for depression and self-reported fatigue among healthcare providers.
