Title of your Abstract : Linking Medical Faculty Stress / Burnout to Willingness to Implement Medical School Curriculum Change: A Preliminary Investigation
Destination Country : Turkey
From : Wednesday, October 14, 2015
To : Monday, October 19, 2015
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Balancing administrative demands from the medical school while providing patient support and seeking academic advancement can cause personal hardship that ranges from high stress to clinically recognizable conditions such as burnout. Regarding the importance of clinical faculties’ burnout and its effects on different aspects of their professional career, this study was conducted aimed to evaluate the relationship between stages of change of Tehran University clinical faculties and their burnout based on the modified stage-of-change model.
This descriptive analytic study was conducted on 143 clinical faculty members of Tehran University of Medical Sciences to assess correlation between faculties’ readiness to change and their level of burnout. Participants were asked to complete three questionnaires: stages of change, based on policies from the Iranian Ministry of Education and medical education guidelines regarding faculty duties, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and General Health Questionnaire. Data were analyze by SPSS:16 using non parametric statistical tests such as multiple regression and ICC (Intra class coefficient) and spearman correlation coefficient test. 
According to the findings, significant relationship was found between faculty members’ readiness to change and the subscales of occupational burnout. In other words, participants with low occupational burnout were more likely to be in the action stage, while those with high burnout were in the attitude or intention stage, which could be understood as not being ready to implement change. There was no significant correlation between general health scores and stage of change. As it is highly probable that occupational burnout reduces readiness to change, it is recommended to consider burnout level in recruiting new faculty members.
