title: Radiologic science educator stress and burnout.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine the perceived level of occupational stress and burnout of radiologic science educators.
  
  
  METHODS
  The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) with health status and demographic survey was sent by e-mail to 241 members of the Association of Educators in Imaging and Radiologic Sciences Inc. The survey yielded a 62% response rate. Independent sample t-tests, regression analysis and one-way ANOVAs were used to compare data.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Results indicated average levels for radiologic science educator feelings of emotional exhaustion, low levels for their feelings of depersonalization and average levels for their feelings of personal accomplishment. A statistically significant result was found between all 3 subscales of the MBI and the reported health status.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This research study may help raise awareness of stress and burnout and their relationship to the health of radiologic science educators.
