Background  Burnout syndrome in physicians is associated with adverse patient safety events, poorer quality of care and reduced patients’ satisfaction. There has been scarce information on the risk factors of burnout affecting professionals working in the renal care settings. As yet the phenomenon has not been studied in the population of Polish nephrologists therefore a nationwide cross-sectional study was established by the Polish Society of Nephrology to assess the prevalence of the syndrome.    Methods  The survey, that consisted of the abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory, questions about strategies for dealing with burnout symptoms and demographic data, was distributed during two main national meetings that gather nephrologists in Poland. 177 participants filled out the survey – 64% of participants were women, 88% were specialists and 12% - doctors in training.    Results  52% of participants demonstrated a high level of depersonalization and almost half of the study group showed high level of emotional exhaustion. Reduced personal accomplishment was more pronounced in doctors working mostly in dialysis units compared to other nephrologists ( p  = 0.017). 37% of participants reported that they treat some patients as they were impersonal objects and 48% felt emotionally drained from their work. 59% of participants would like to take part in the remedy program.    Conclusions  Burnout syndrome seems to be an important problem in the population of Polish nephrologists. Doctors working mostly in dialysis settings might be at increased risk of reduced personal accomplishment. The results of the survey may be useful to prepare burnout remedy program.
