| Description |
The following is a masters thesis of radiological science exploring the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on imaging Professionals. |
| Abstract |
This study researched whether or not the COVID-19 pandemic influenced levels of burnout and self-esteem among radiologic imaging professionals and established if there was a relationship between the two. This study's problem and purpose assessed burnout and self-esteem and used the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory to evaluate emotional exhaustion and disengagement and also used the Rosenberg self-esteem scale to evaluate self-esteem. The research was designed as a quantitative study which describes the overall aspect of burnout and self-esteem of imaging professionals living in the United States who worked part-time and full-time during the COVID-19 pandemic and participated in an online survey. The key results showed 53% of imaging professionals reported overall burnout at a level 4 on a scale of 1-10, with the majority of 85% reporting moderate to severe burnout while working during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, although there was no significant measurable change in self-esteem. The conclusion of this research identifies that the COVID-19 pandemic did have an impact on radiologic imaging professionals regarding burnout, but less of an impact on self-esteem, and no measurable correlation between burnout and self-esteem. Future research recommendations are to further investigate long term effects on those individuals reporting high levels of burnout, and to follow trends that will provide more information. |
