Türkiye Psikiyatri Derneği Yıllık Toplantısı ve 2. Uluslararası 26. Ulusal Klinik Eğitim Sempozyumu, Mersin, Türkiye, 9 - 12 Mayıs 2024, ss.27
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Medical doctors (MDs) often face
significant psychological and physical health challenges due to
factors like intense stress, extended work hours and demanding work
environments. These challenges can manifest as issues such as a lack of
psychological flexibility (PF), insomnia, low job satisfaction (LJS), and
night eating behaviors (NEB), all of which may be interconnected. Our
aim is to explore the relationships between PF, insomnia, JS, and NEB
among MDs and to devise effective intervention strategies.
METHODS: MDs working at Atatürk University Medical Faculty
were evaluated through an online form. Participants were assessed
using sociodemographic information form (including age,gender etc.),
Insomnia Severity Index, PF, JS, and NEB scales. Ethical approval was
obtained on 21.02.2024/B.30.2.ATA.0.01.00/101.
RESULTS: Out of the 100 participants, 60 were female and 40
were male. Mean age was 31.23±4.95 years. Mean JSS score was
64.27±13.84. Mean PFS score was 119.88±14.55. Mean ISI score was
9.35±5.85. Insomnia was determined in 58 individuals. Mean NEB
score was 18.22±7.02.NEB was identified in 20 individuals.There was
no significant difference in terms of gender regarding PE, JS, insomnia,
and NEB (p>0.05). Positive correlation was observed between insomnia
and NEB (r=0.517, p<0.001), between JS and PE (r=0.432 p<0.001).
A negative correlation was found between JS and insomnia (r=-0.206,
p<0.001), as well as between insomnia and PE (r=-0.332, p<0.001).
There was no significant relationship between PE and JS with NEB
(p>0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: We found potential relationships among factors
such as JS, PF, insomnia, and NEB. Positive correlation between JS and
PF suggests higher level of PF may enhance JS. Negative relationship
between JS and insomnia indicates insomnia could reduce JS. Negative
correlation between insomnia and PF implies poor sleep quality might
diminish PF. Lack of relationship between NEB and PF/JS suggests
NEB may not directly impact psychological well-being and professional
experiences. PF appears to have a positive influence on JS and sleep
quality. Improving working conditions may enhance doctors JS and
