  1. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine variables associated with a high degree of burnout on the subscales emotional exhaustion (R2 = 0.2223), depersonalization (R2 = 0.0955) and personal accomplishment (R2 = 0.1324). Analysis was performed with the data of 1656 participants. OR = odds ratio; SE = standard error, CI 95 % = 95 % confidence interval
