All rights reserved.METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted through a voluntary anonymous, electronic survey of radiologists at 11 academic medical institutions participating in the Physician Wellness Academic Consortium between January 2017 and September 2018. Faculty radiologists who completed the survey were included in the study. The survey contained the validated professional fulfillment index and National Institute of Health Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System sleep-related impairment scale. Demographics of participants only included gender to protect anonymity. Sample t tests and chi2 exact tests were used for analysis with significance level set at P < .05.OBJECTIVE: To examine the prevalence of burnout in faculty radiologists in the United States and to explore the relationship between burnout and professional fulfillment (PF), intention to leave (ITL), and sleep-related impairment by gender.RESULTS: In all, 456 faculty radiologists (171 women) answered the survey. The overall prevalence of burnout was 37.4%, PF was 35.6%, ITL was 33.3%, and sleep-related impairment was 45.3%. Burnout was higher in female versus male respondents (44% versus 31%, P < .05), and PF and ITL were lower (30% versus 42%, P < .05, 26% versus 38%, P < .05, respectively). When faculty were stratified into burned out versus not burned out, PF was significantly lower in those with burnout (12% versus 52%, P < .05), and ITL and sleep-related impairment was higher (51% versus 24%, P < .05 and 75% versus 30%, P < .05, respectively).All authors: Higgins MCSS, Kosowsky T, Marchalik D, Mete M, Nguyen MT, Rowe S, Unan LFiscal year: FY2021Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2021-06-28
