Department of Community Health, Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Medical Center, Malaysia Objectives This study aimed to determine the level and factors contributing to burnout among doctors in Sana'a City, Yemen and to determine the relationship between burnout and psychological morbidity. Methods This was a cross‐sectional study of 563 working doctors in the four main hospitals in Sana'a City, Yemen. The 12‐item version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ12) was used as a measure of psychological morbidity and the 22‐item Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used to measure emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. Sources of job stress were determined using a 37‐item scale questionnaire. The questionnaire elicited information about socio‐demographic and work characteristics. Results On the MBI, 356 doctors showed high emotional exhaustion (63.2%), 109 showed high depersonalization (19.4%) and 186 showed low personal accomplishment (33.0%). Sixty six doctors (11.7%) were identified as experiencing a high degree of burnout (high emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and low personal accomplishment). The prevalence of high degree of burnout was significantly higher in those with duration of work ≤10 yr (OR=2.8, 95% CI 1.18–6.8), in those working ≥40 h/ wk (OR=2.1, 95% CI 1.25‐3.62) and in those who had psychological morbidity (OR=5.3, 95% CI 2.22–12.39). Thirteen out of 37 sources of stress were significantly associated with high degree of burnout. In multivariate analysis, the significant predictors of high burnout were: dealing with patient's psychosocial problems, feeling of isolation, disturbance of home/family life by work, not chewing khat , long working hours and psychological morbidity. Conclusion The prevalence of high degree of burnout as well as emotional exhaustion in Yemeni doctors was higher than those reported internationally and was ...
