Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the relation between alexithymia and burnout levels of physicians working in Malatya in relation with some sociodemographic variables. Method: The data from 384 physician were gathered according to sociodemographic form, Maslach Burnout Inventory and Toronto Alexithymia Scale. Results Alexithymia was not found in 79.3% (n=306), but in 20.7% (n=78) and emotional exhaustion (EE), and depersonalisation (DP) levels were higher in alexithymic individuals while personal accomplishment (PA) levels were lower. Although there was no relation between academic degree, time at profession and alexithymia levels, the EE and DP levels were higher in residents and specialists. The ones who have worked for 6-10 years had low EE levels and the ones having worked for 5 years and less had higher DP levels. Conclusion: Our result is in individuals having burnout syndrome, the alexithymia levels get higher.

Özet

Amaç: Malatya ili merkezinde çalışan hekimlerin tükenmişlik düzeylerinin aleksitimi düzeyleri ve bazı sosyodemografik değişkenlerle ilişkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Veriler, çalışmaya katılan 384 hekimden Sosyodemografik Veri Toplama Formu, Maslach Tükenmişlik Ölçeği (MTÖ) ve Toronto Aleksitimi Ölçeği (TAÖ) kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Sonuçlar: Hekimlerin %79.3'ünde (n=306) aleksitimi belirlenmezken, %20.7 'sinde (n=78) aleksitimi saptanmıştır. Aleksi timik bireylerde duygusal tükenme (DT) ve duyarsızlaşma (DYS) düzeyleri daha yüksek, kişisel başarı (KB) düzeyleri daha düşük bulunmuştur. Akademik ünvan ve meslekte çalışma süreleri ile aleksimi düzeyleri arasında ilişki saptanmazken; araştırma görevlisi ve uzman hekimlerin DT ve DYS düzeyleri daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Meslekte çalışma süresi 6-10 yıl olanların DT düzeyleri düşük, 5 yıl ve daha az olanların ise DYS düzeyleri yüksek bulunmuştur. Tartışma: Sonuçlarımız tükenmişlik sendromu yaşayan bireylerde aleksitimi düzeylerinin arttığını düşündürmektedir.
