Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Burnout Syndrome is a medical condition caused by long-term job-related strain and is defined by presence of either one or more of the three states i.e. emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment. Burnout has been shown to cause decreased work output and mental well being of employees and increase errors at workplace. Burnout is observed in various lines of work and but has been found to be especially high among healthcare professionals. Diabetes Mellitus is a generally a life-long condition and diabetes specialists deal with patients of this chronic condition frequently. The burnout among diabetes specialist trainees in United Kingdom was found to be over 50% in a study done in pre-pandemic times in 2018 and there is a need to repeat this study to see if there any change in terms of presence of burnout in this group of health care professionals.

Clinical Trial Description

Burnout syndrome can develop after a prolonged response to chronic emotional and interpersonal workplace stressors, and is defined by 3 dimensions - emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment. The consequences of burnout on an employee can be on a psychological and somatic level as well as on her/his ability to perform work, and hospital physicians with burnout have higher sickness and absenteeism and decreases work output. Burnout among physicians can also lead to medical mistakes and increasing the odds for workplace failure with adverse affects in their attitude towards their work. Research has shown that doctors reporting high workload and a unsupported work climate have higher stress, burnout and dissatisfaction with their career. Study done by author previously in 2018 among Diabetes specialist registrars in England Scotland and Wales identified burnout syndrome in 57.5% respondents with commonest self-reported stressors being workload and lack of specialty training. In order to address this problem nationally, there is need to re-assess the presence of burnout and then consider planning for any interventional steps that may help reduce burnout. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
