背景/目的：包括牙医在内的卫生保健专业人员可能会经历更多的职业倦怠。本研究的目的是评估土耳其牙医抑郁症状与职业倦怠之间的关系。材料与方法：本研究于2015年2月至2015年8月在土耳其安卡拉的一名土耳其牙医样本中进行。在500名牙医中，有337名名列其中。采用自结构化问卷、Maslach倦怠量表（MBI）和Beck抑郁量表（BDI）进行问卷调查。使用学生t检验或方差分析来比较变量。结果：共有337名牙医参与本研究，其中女性牙医162名，平均年龄36±4.45岁。影响职业倦怠水平的因素有年龄、性别、职业状况、从业年限、部门、就诊人次（P < 0.05）；29%的参与者表现出倦怠，22.2%的参与者表现出抑郁症状。参与者表现出情绪耗竭增加（38%），人格解体增加（22%），个人成就感下降（12%）。BDI平均得分与MBI各分量表得分显著相关（P < 0.05）。除体重减轻、易怒、食欲不振外，BDI各项与MBI评分均显著相关（P < 0.05）。结论：牙医在职业生涯中可能面临职业倦怠和抑郁症状。倦怠程度的增加可以对抑郁症状有所了解，并可能提供早期识别抑郁症的机会。建立和提高对倦怠的认识对于避免和预防牙医抑郁很重要。进一步的纵向研究，分析跨学科的以客户为中心的自我管理方案对牙医抑郁症状和倦怠的影响，必须计划。中华民国口腔科学协会版权所有爱思唯尔台湾有限责任公司出版。
Background/purpose: Health care professionals including dentists can experience increased professional burnout. The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between depressive symptoms and burnout among Turkish dentists.Materials and methods: This study was conducted among a Turkish dentist sample in Ankara (Turkey) between February 2015 and August 2015. From a total of 500 dentists, 337 were included. A self-structured questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were completed by the participants. The Student t test or analysis of variance was used to compare the variables.Results: A total of 337 dentists (162 female dentists; mean age of participants 36 +/- 4.45 years) participated in this study. Age, sex, professional status, years in profession, sector, and number of patients seen/d were factors affecting level of burnout (P < 0.05); 29% of the participants showed burnout and 22.2% showed depressive symptoms. Participants showed increase in emotional exhaustion (38%), increase in depersonalization (22%), and decrease in personal accomplishment (12%). The mean score of BDI significantly correlated with those of the MBI subscales (P < 0.05). All items of BDI except weight loss, irritability, and loss of appetite significantly correlated with MBI subscores (P < 0.05).Conclusion: Dentists may face burnout and depressive symptoms during their professional life. Increased burnout level can give an idea on depressive symptoms, and may provide an opportunity to identify depression earlier. Creating and raising awareness about burnout are important to avoid and prevent depression among dentists. Further longitudinal studies analyzing the effects of interdisciplinary client-centered self-management programs for dentists on depressive symptoms and burnout must be planned.
