Medical residents (doctors in training to become medical specialists) fulfill an important role in the Dutch healthcare system. They take their share of responsibility for efficient patient care in hospitals, mental healthcare centres, rehabilitation centres and other medical institutions. Medical residents see the period of training for medical specialist as a valuable phase in their lives. It is a phase in which finding a balance between training, work and private life plays an important part. Nothing is known about the extent to which the stress felt by residents causes them to develop symptoms of burnout. The determinants for whether burnout actually develops or not are also unknown. This thesis therefor revolves around the incidence of burnout among residents in the Netherlands. It also looks into the potential risk-heightening or risk-lowering effect of a number of demographic and work-related factors. The aims of the studies are as follows:
- to determine the prevalence of burnout among medical residents
- to study the effect of individual and work-related factors on burnout
- to examine the relationship between burnout and the quality of care
