Investigating The Degree And Potential Causes Of Burnout, Stress And Gender Discrimination In Gynecologists, Maxillofacial Surgeons, Dental, Medical, And People Health Specialists

The current study aims to investigate the degree and potential causes of burnout, stress and gender discrimination in gynecologists, maxillofacial surgeons, dental, medical, and public health specialists. The survey-based investigation was carried out in multiple settings in Pakistan. Oral and maxillofacial (OM) surgeons, gynecologists, dentists, physicians, and public health professionals in Pakistan were the two target groups for this study design. Bangladeshi experts from BGC Trust Medical College Hospital and Chattogram City Corporation Memon Maternity Hospital oversaw the study. To obtain samples from the study population, simple random sampling was employed. A survey conducted among 288 Pakistani experts in the fields of dentistry, gynecology, maxillofacial surgery, and medicine exposed issues of discrimination according to gender, and individual characteristic traits. The Career Satisfaction Assessment was used to gauge employee job satisfaction, and SPSS 26 was used for data analysis. With a significant p-value <0.000, there were 37.3% of men working as maxillofacial surgeons, followed by 35.8% dentists, 53.6% medical professionals, and public health specialists. 52.5% of the whole study population was male, and this percentage of discrimination against gender was significant (p-value 0f <0.001). As to the findings, a mere 14.01% of dentists reported feeling low-level stress. Only 9.6% of participants had high burnout, compared to the majority of 61.2% who had moderate burnout (29% who scored low burnout). 52.5% of research participants overall said they occasionally experienced discrimination at work. In Pakistan, patriarchal causes account for 45.28 percent of the cause. The results of the analysis showed that there were variations in mental distance (p = 0.002), cognitive impairment (p = 0.003), and weariness (p < 0.000) between professional groups. Comparing professional groups using post hoc pairwise comparisons for tiredness revealed statistically significant differences. It is also determined that women experience more stress and burnout in the fields of gynecology, dentistry, and maxillofacial surgery the more often they witness men discriminating against women in these fields.
