Abstract | Background: GPs are particularly vulnerable to job burnout. Tailored prevention and intervention strategies are needed. Aim: To investigate organisational, interpersonal, and individual factors contributing to exhaustion and disengagement at work among GPs. Design & setting: We conducted a cross-sectional study in a sample of Belgian GPs. Method: A total of 358 doctors (73% females, 301 with complete data) completed an online anonymous questionnaire assessing job burnout, psychosocial characteristics of the work environment, perceived social support in the private domain, emotional competence, and self-compassion. Results: GPs reported moderate levels of exhaustion and disengagement. Regression models showed that included factors jointly explained 69% of the variance in exhaustion and 63% in disengagement. Exhaustion was significantly predicted by female sex ( Conclusion: Organisational, interpersonal, and intrapersonal factors interact to predict a substantial part of burnout in general practice. The most significant risk factors were perceived work-life conflict and poor meaning of work. Policymakers should work to support more sustainable practices based on the specific needs and constraints reported by GPs. |
