Background: Medical personnel are a professional group with high stress which results in burnout and can have negative consequences such as the service quality and well-being of the personnel themselves.
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence of burnout and stress among medical personnel at Ratchaburi Hospital, as well as the factors associated with burnout.
Materials and Methods: Data were collected from medical personnel at Ratchaburi Hospital from 1 November 2023, to 29 February 2024. The questionnaires included sections on general information, burnout (T-CBI), and stress (ST-5) scales. Descriptive statistics, including percentage, means, and standard deviation were used for data analysis. Spearman rank correlation were employed to identify related factors.
Results: From a sample of 302 people, it was found that 34.1% experienced moderate to high levels of burnout, while 57% reported moderate, high, or extreme levels of stress. Burnout showed a positive correlation with stress, female, single married status, work hours, and inadequate income. Conversely, it exhibited a negative correlation with age, number of children, years of work experience, holidays, and income.
Conclusions: The majority of participants in this study exhibited low levels of burnout and stress. Positive factors associated with burnout include stress, work hours, and inadequate income while negative factors include age, number of holidays, and income
