The aim of this study was to evaluate the workload,
emotional exhaustion levels and professional satisfaction of physicians. The
data were collected through the online questionnaire filled out by 356
physician participants using the convenience sampling method. While 51.1% of
the physicians participating in the study were female, 68.0% of them were
married, 61.8% of them aged between 24 and 34 years, and 72.8% of them had a
working year of 1-10 years. There was no significant
difference between workload, emotional exhaustion and professional satisfaction
averages and gender and marital status. A significant difference was found
between working year and the average workload. It appeared that there was a
moderate, positive and statistically significant relationship between the
workload and emotional exhaustion. In conclusion, an attempt to evaluate the
workload, emotional exhaustion levels and professional satisfaction of
physicians was made in the study. According to the results obtained in the study, it was observed that the
physicians working between 1 and 10 years had higher level of workload compared
to physicians with a working year of 11 years and more. According to another result which is
parallel with the literature, a moderate, positive and statistically
significant relationship was found between the workload and emotional exhaustion.
It was determined that the physicians in the 35-45 age group had higher levels
of workload, had more emotional exhaustion and had more professional
satisfaction compared to the physicians in the other age group.
