Abstract: Objective To investigate the impact of work motivation on occupational burnout among doctors at different levels of medical institutions,and analyze the main influencing factors. Methods From September to December 2023,a survey was conducted in 19 different levels of medical institutions across the country from September 2023 to December 2023,including 6 primary hospitals,6 secondary hospitals,and 7 tertiary hospitals. Conduct a cross-sectional survey in the form of a questionnaire on the occupational burnout and work motivation of 130 doctors included in the survey,and the data were analyzed. Results The overall average score of occupational burnout among 130 doctors in various levels of medical institutions was (34.06±18.37)points, with a mild burnout detection rate of 34.6%(45/130) and a moderate burnout detection rate of 24.6%(32/130). There were statistically significant differences in the incidence and scores of burnout among medical institutions at all levels(both P<0.01). Working hours and intrinsic work motivation were the main factor affecting the occupational burnout among doctors in primary medical institutions(both P<0.05). Training frequency and intrinsic work motivation were the main factor affecting the occupational burnout among doctors in secondary medical institutions(both P<0.05). Number of weekly patients received was the main factor affecting occupational burnout among doctors in tertiary medical institutions(P<0.05). Conclusion The detection rate of occupational burnout among 130 doctors in medical institutions at all levels is relatively high,and medical institution managers need to take measures to reduce doctor's occupational burnout.
