Aims: To investigate whether there is a difference in work-family conflict between surgical and internal medicine residents and to determine the factors associated with work-family conflict
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey study was conducted with 443 resident physicians working at a university hospital. A form about demographic data and a Turkish version of the Work-Family Conflict Inventory (WFCI) were used to gather data during in-person interviews.
Results: Three-hundred-forty-eight residents responded (76.8%). Weekly working time was significantly more in surgical medical sciences (SMS) residents than in internal medicine sciences (IMS) residents (62.3±13.8 vs 53.2±13.6 hours respectively, p<0.001). The mean WFCI scores of the SMS and IMS residents were 19.5±4.3 and 17.9±5.1, respectively (p=0.002). Working hours and the number of shifts were associated with increased WFCI scores. Residents with incomes less than expenses had higher WFCI scores. Satisfaction, including institution, salary, and area of specialization, was negatively associated with the WFCI scores. Working as an SMS resident was found to be related to higher conflict scores than being an IMS resident. Income status, weekly working hours, and institution satisfaction were significant independent predictors of WFCI scores. Being an SMS or IMS resident did not come out to be a significant predictor of work-family conflict.
Conclusion: WFCI scores are very high in resident physicians. The findings highlight the urgent need to address this issue through a multi-faceted approach that includes reducing working hours, improving income levels, enhancing institutional satisfaction, and providing support and resources to help residents balance work and family responsibilities

Asistan Hekimler Arasında İş-Aile Çatışması: Cerrahi ve Dahili Tıp Uzmanlıklarının Karşılaştırmalı Bir Analizi

Amaç: Cerrahi ve dahiliye asistanı doktorlar arasında iş-aile çatışması açısından farklılık olup olmadığını araştırmak ve iş-aile çatışmasıyla ilişkili faktörleri belirlemek.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bir üniversite hastanesinde görev yapan 443 asistan hekim ile kesitsel, ankete dayalı bir çalışma yapıldı. Yüz yüze görüşmelerde veri toplamak amacıyla demografik verileri içeren bir form ve İş-Aile Çatışmaları Envanteri'nin (İAÇE) Türkçe versiyonu kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Üç yüz kırk sekiz asistan doktor yanıt verdi (%76,8). Haftalık çalışma süresi cerrahi tıp bilimleri (CTB) asistanlarında dahili tıp bilimleri (DTB) asistanlarına göre anlamlı olarak daha fazlaydı (sırasıyla 62,3±13,8 ve 53,2±13,6 saat, p<0,001). CTB ve DTB asistanlarının ortalama İAÇE skorları sırasıyla 19,5±4,3 ve 17,9±5,1 idi (p=0,002). Çalışma saatleri ve vardiya sayısı artmış İAÇE skorları ile ilişkili bulundu. Gelirleri giderlerinden az olan asistanların İAÇE puanları daha yüksekti. Kurum, maaş ve uzmanlık alanı da dahil olmak üzere memnuniyet, İAÇE skorlarıyla olumsuz yönde ilişkiliydi. CTB asistanı olarak çalışmanın, DTB asistanı olmaktan daha yüksek çatışma skorları ile ilişkili olduğu bulundu. Gelir durumu, haftalık çalışma saatleri ve kurum memnuniyeti İAÇE skoru için anlamlı bağımsız belirleyicileriydi. CTB veya DTB asistanı olmak, iş-aile çatışması için anlamlı bir prediktörü olarak bulunmadı.
Sonuç: Asistan hekimlerde İAÇE skorları oldukça yüksektir. Bulgular, çalışma saatlerinin azaltılması, gelir düzeylerinin iyileştirilmesi, kurumsal memnuniyetin arttırılması ve asistan hekimlerin iş ve aile sorumlulukları arasında denge kurmasına yardımcı olacak destek ve kaynakların sağlanmasını içeren çok yönlü bir yaklaşımla bu konunun acilen ele alınması ihtiyacını vurgulamaktadır.
