Prevalence and Pattern of Burnout Syndrome amongst Doctors Working in a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital.
Review in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Burnout Syndrome (BOS) is a psychological condition increasingly recognised in occupational health, especially within the healthcare sector. It significantly affects doctors' efficiency, job satisfaction, and well-being. Despite its global importance, there remains a lack of empirical studies exploring the prevalence and determinants of burnout among doctors in Nigeria. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, patterns, and predictors of Burnout Syndrome among medical doctors at the Federal Medical Centre, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 211 doctors between January and December 2020. A semi-structured, self-administered questionnaire was used, incorporating the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) for Medical Personnel. Burnout was defined as a high emotional exhaustion score, a high depersonalisation score, and a low personal accomplishment score. Data were analysed using SPSS version 25, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. Multivariate logistic regression was utilised to identify independent predictors of burnout. Results: The overall prevalence of burnout was 54.5%. High levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and low personal achievement were observed in 59.7%, 85.8%, and 96.2% of respondents, respectively. Younger age (31-40 years), absence of children, being a house officer, lack of additional qualifications, and ≤10 years of post-registration experience were significantly associated with increased burnout. In logistic regression analysis, younger age and fewer years of post-registration practice remained significant predictors. Conclusion: Burnout is highly prevalent among doctors in the study location, with younger practitioners and those in early career stages particularly vulnerable. Institutional interventions focusing on wellness promotion, professional development, work-life balance, and institutional support are crucial in reducing the risk of burnout.
