CONCLUSION: The prevalence of burnout in urology trainees is high. Institutional factors such as formal mentorship and access to mental health services may play an important role in resident well-being. Copyright (c) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of burnout in urology trainees and examine the influence of personal, programmatic, and institutional factors on burnout rates. RESULTS: Overall response rate was 20.9%. Individual factors such as age, gender, exercise, and meditation were not associated with burnout while reading for relaxation (P=.022) and spending time with family (P=.025) were protective against burnout. Residents working >80 hours vs 60-80 hours and <60 hours per week were more likely to exhibit burnout (77.6% vs 66.1% vs 47.1%, respectively, P=.044). Institutional factors such as structured mentorship programs (P=.019) and access to mental health services (P <.001) were associated with decreased burnout. On multivariable analysis, unavailable or difficult-to-access mental health services were associated with increased odds of burnout (OR 5.38, 95%CI 2.20-13.16, P <.001, and OR 2.33, 95%CI 1.07-5.07, P=.034, respectively). STUDY DESIGN: We conducted an anonymous survey of burnout in urology residents across the United States using a 50-question REDCap-based electronic questionnaire in May of 2018. The survey included demographic questions, an inventory of stress-reduction techniques and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Univariate analysis and multinomial logistic regression models were used to assess associations between individual, program, and organizational factors and resident burnout.
