Background. Burnout syndrome is a condition characterized by three dimensions: Emotional Exhaustion (EE), Depersonalization (DEP), and low Personal Accomplishment (PA).

Aims. We investigated the degree of burnout and influencing factors in Romanian rehabilitation physicians working in the public and private sectors. The design of the study was observational and cross-sectional. Methods. The Romanian Society of Rehabilitation platform was used, where 50 registered rehabilitation medicine physicians affiliated to the Romanian Society of Rehabilitation Medicine completed the burnout inventory. The Maslach Burnout Inventory was chosen to measure burnout.

Results. Of the 50 participants, 62%(31/50) scored high levels of EE, 28%(14/50) scored average EE, while 10%(5/50) indicated low EE. Regarding DEP, 66%(33/50) scored high levels, while 34%(17/50) proved average level. PA level was high in 88%(44/50) and average in 12%(6/50). Our study suggested men were prone to higher levels of EE and DEP than women (EE: p= 0.006< 0.05; DEP: p= 0.008< 0.05). Regarding the work place, physicians working in outpatient clinics had higher EE scores then those working in a state hospital (p= 0.003< 0.005). Conclusions. Burnout syndrome should be seen as a priority, as its impact on physicians also has direct negative consequences on the quality of provided healthcare services.
