Abstract: Objective To understand the status of thyroid hormone levels and job burnout among medical administrative workersin Urumqi,explore the correlation between thyroid hormone levels and job burnout. Methods Using the method of cross-sectional study,a questionnaire survey was conducted among 557 medical administrative workers in Urumqi in March 2021. The investigation included the general characteristics of the subjects,the current situation of job burnout,and the levels of triiodothyronine(T3),thyroxine(T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH). Results Among the 557 people surveyed,128 medical administrative workers had different degrees of abnormal thyroid hormone levels,and the abnormal rate was 22.98%. There were statistically significantdifferences in the overall abnormal rate of thyroid hormone levels among different genders,hospitals,and educational backgrounds(all P<0.05). There were 313 people with different degrees of occupational burnout,and the incidence of occupational burnout was 56.19%. In the dimension of low sense of achievement,the difference between between the normalthyroid hormonegroup and abnormal group was statistically significant(P<0.05). There were statistically significantdifferences in the T3,TSH and overall abnormal rate among population with different job burnout(all P<0.05). The dimensions of emotional exhaustion and cynicism were negatively correlated with T3,the dimensions of cynicism and low achievement was positively correlated with TSH (all P<0.05),and dimension of low achievement(OR=1.064,95%CI=1.010-1.121) was the risk factors forabnormal levels of thyroid hormone. Conclusions(1)The abnormal thyroid hormone levels of medical administrators inUrumqiare not optimistic. Among them,women are higher than men,and the population of tertiary hospitals is higher than that of other hospitals.(2)The occupational burnout rate of medical administrative staff inUrumqiis relatively high,and the abnormal rate of thyroid hormone levels in the burnout population is higher than that in the non-burnout population.(3)There is a correlation between job burnout and abnormal thyroid hormone levels.
