Discussion

There is correlation betwixt family physicians' working productively and existence helpful to their patients and their piece of work satisfaction. Protecting and developing wellness of family physicians is critically important not only for family physicians and their families but besides for their patients.[6] It is obvious in the studies that burnout amid medicine staff gradually increase and this situation affects not only doctors but also quality of wellness service and patient intendance.[16]

In a study that Kaya et al. although, there is no specific intermission point to evaluate subcomponents of Maslach inventory in each sub scale, way of emotional burnout is 36, mode of desensitization is xx, and personal success is 32.[17]

In the study that Kaya et al. did in kickoff stride health establishment in 2005, they have found that family physicians' emotional burnout point fourteen.0, desensitization point 4.1, and personal success betoken ten.three.[18] In the study that Yavuzyilmaz et al. have done in community clinics, information technology is seen that doctors have taken 14.2 points in emotional exhaustion dimension, 5.0 in desensitization dimension, and 9.5 in personal failure dimension.[19] In our report, emotional burnout of doctors has been plant 13, desensitization 6–7, and personal success points 20.5. These results make u.s.a. think that doctors feel bit tired and emotional wear about their profession. On the other hand, the low score in the sub-dimension of desensitization indicates that this situation does not reflect yet negatively on the population whom family physicians give care. Although emotional burnout and desensitization points in ii studies are similar to our study, personal success points are lower than our written report. This situation shows that burnout level of our report is at like level in comparison with results obtained with other studies in our country.

In study of Goehring et al. in Switzerland, emotional burnout point of outset step family unit physicians is 17.9, desensitization point is vi.5, and personal success points is 39.half dozen. In the study done in Italy, points are 18.5, 6.1 and 38.5.[20] In the study washed in England, emotional exhaustion for practicians is 26.1 and 22.3 points, desensitization is 9.8 and vii.4 points, and personal success is 32.vii and 39.4.[21,22] A personal success point has been obtained in our report is lower than international studies as it is seen. Our written report takes more attending as it shows the need those family unit physicians practices should be evaluated from time to time.

There are studies that requite dissimilar results about the correlation between service life and burnout situation in literature. Kirwan, Sunter and Kurcer accept non determined any correlation between service life and exhaustion points in their study.[23,24,25] In our study, it is clear service life is not effective of burnout points. In the study done on healthcare staff in Estava, Spain, high job satisfaction protects the person from burnout.[26] Burnout points of the ones who says feet increases because of piece of work load and work stress, and the ones who are not pleased about their working environment is high.[27] Goehring has found in his study that being not pleased virtually work weather condition is a take chances factor for burnout.[xx] In our study, similarly, information technology is articulate that burnout points of family physicians increase as work satisfaction decreases.

Various studies conducted in dissimilar regions, showed that the doctors who are in whatsoever kind of on call service have depression job satisfaction.[28,29] Our study confirms that job satisfaction of family unit physicians who are on call having certainly is depression because of that on telephone call service decreases job satisfaction.

It is studied in few studies that there is correlation between work satisfaction rates' being low and exhaustion with feet. It is adamant that at that place is a close relation between doctors' having difficulties in work environs and burnout.[30] Our report demonstrated that the participants who have depression job satisfaction take higher anxiety points. Moreover, the work satisfaction'due south being depression have likewise negative psychological results or oppositely it is effective on the state of affairs that the participants who accept higher feet have lower piece of work satisfaction and work productivity. This situation tin can crusade decreasing of work productivity of family unit physicians who accept of import conclusion about human health and cause the people whom they take service to be affected desperately. For this reason, studies for developing individuals and institutional methods toward doctors increasing wok satisfaction by rearranging working atmospheric condition that effects work satisfaction are warranted.

Co-ordinate to the previous literature that decreasing work satisfaction can cause decreasing in work productivity and increasing in exhaustion. The relation betwixt work satisfaction and feet tin can exist a vicious circumvolve. For example, while jobs of individuals who have high anxiety scores are a resources for anxiety because of their existing anxiety, work satisfaction decreases gradually and anxiety scores of the participants who have depression job satisfaction can increase. The current literature lacks the studies that investigate the relationship of low fiscal income and work satisfaction.[24,31,32] In our study, we demonstrated that the exhaustion levels of the participants who have low income take high burnout level.

Conclusion

In our study, it is foreseen that practice of call service of family physicians and their considering income level to be inadequate, although their income is provided above the poverty line in our country, crusade their burnout levels higher and work satisfaction lower. The evaluation of physicians' expectations in practice seems to be an important need. It should exist increase awareness that the burn out of family unit physicians has significance due to particular group that they serve. Information technology is clear that there is a need for wider participation in the study of family doc's burnout in the futurity.
