Objectives: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and determinants of burnout among Emergency Medicine Residents in Egypt.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 129 emergency residents work in the ED on a full-time basis for at least six months preceding the onset of the study and must were enrolled in an emergency medicine training program or residency irrespective of their age. The prevalence and determinants of burnout was assessed through an interview questionnaire that included two main parts (questions regarding demographic and professional characteristics of residents and Maslach burnout inventory).

Results: Regarding total burn out scale participants with low burn out were 6.82%, participants with moderate burn out were 67.42%, and participants with high burn out were 23.48%. Maslach burnout inventory (total depersonalization) showed negative significant correlation with (age and duration in residency). This mean that the increase in total depersonalization was correlated significantly with the decrease in (age and duration in residency). Conclusions: The results indicate that a large proportion of the emergency residents are at moderate to high risk of burnout. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment negatively correlated with age and duration of residency and positively correlated with workload and average number of visits.
