【 摘 要 】

Objective: Burnout among physicians has increased, affecting not only doctors but also the quality of patient care. Treating challenging disorders, such as fibromyalgia, may increase the risk of feeling burned out. Health care of fibromyalgia patients is increasingly being assigned to family physicians. Therefore, we described the demographic characteristics, work contexts, component burnout scores (exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment), and perceptions of fibromyalgia care of Spanish family medicine physicians with high and low levels of burnout. We then evaluated which of these variables were associated with having high or low levels of burnout.
