초록

영상의학과 의사의 탈진은 최근 이슈로 부각되고 있으며 의사 본인의 건강 문제뿐만 아니라 환자 진료에 악영향을 미칠 수 있어 환자 안전을 위협할 수 있다. 우리나라 대형병원에 근무하는 전문의의 약 84%에서 한 번 이상 탈진을 경험하였다고 응답하였다. 이를 극복하기 위해서는, 적절한 업무량의 확보뿐만 아니라, 전문가로서의 역할을 할 수 있도록 워크플로우의 개선, 마지막으로 업무-휴식 간의 밸런스를 확보할 수 있도록 해야 한다.

Burnout among radiologists has recently emerged as an issue that poses a threat to patient safety. Burnout adversely effects the quality of patient care and may lead to health problems in physicians. Approximately 84% of board-certified radiologists working in large hospitals in Korea responded that they had experienced burnout at least once. To overcome this, the standardization of physicians' workloads, as well as improvements in the professional workflow are necessary to ensure a healthy lifestyle balance.
