title: [Burnout and risk of burnout in the teams of bone marrow transplant:<BR>a multicentre Italian survey].
abstract: . Burnout and risk of burnout in the Italian teams of bone marrow transplant: a multicentre survey.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  The term burnout is used to describe a state of work-related psychological distress in healthcare employees characterized by three related, but independent, components: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP) and reduced personal accomplishment (PA).
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of burnout and stress symptoms in physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals in Italian Bone Marrow Transplantation Units.
  
  
  METHODS
  All personnel of a multidisciplinary group of the Italian Group of Bone Marrow Transplantation were asked to answer two different validated questionnaires: the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) for the assessment of general wellbeing. Logistic regression was used to investigate possible risk factors for burnout.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This study showed a relatively low burnout prevalence (3.7%), however about 43.5% of health workers were at risk for developing a burnout syndrome. No personal or center characteristics seemed related to burnout risk, but there was a strong correlation between higher scores from the general health questionnaire and burnout risk.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Results from our survey suggest that burnout is a relevant problem in transplant teams and as such strategies should be implemented to prevent it.
