Abstract
This study aims to identify the job resources and job demands associated with the measure of Personal Accomplishment among radiology residents in the Philippines. It is hypothesized that high job demands and poor job resources would correlate with low PA scores (high burnout). A 34-items online survey was administered in July 2020 to Philippine Radiology residents, which included an 8-item Likert-type questions from the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (Medical Personnel), 19 job demands-resources questions and 7 demographic and program-related questions. Multiple linear regression was calculated to predict PA based on job demands and resources. Independent samples t test were performed to determine the effects of the binomial demographic factors. For the categorical demographic factors, a test on variance was performed on PA scores. Multiple linear regression analyses were also performed to evaluate the relationship of age and average weekly number of work hours on PA scores. There were 110 responses. "The skills and knowledge that I am building are important and helpful to society" (p=0.020), "I am excited about my career when I think about my long-term impact as a radiologist" (p=0.002) and "I am comfortable in my current role as a resident" (p=0.013) all positively correlated with Personal Accomplishment. Age was found to be significant (p=.002). Residents who were older had higher PA scores, compared to their younger counterparts. Philippine Radiology residents score higher in the PA domain of burnout when they feel that the skills and knowledge they are building are important to society; they feel excited about their career and long-term impact as radiologists; and they are comfortable in their role as residents. Supporting opportunities that reinforce their contribution to society, establishing a career guidance mentorship program, and improving feedback mechanism regarding their training programs may improve the residents' sense of Personal Accomplishment.
