Core Tip This national cross-sectional survey of 278 gastroenterologists and gastroenterology fellows in Türkiye found that responding physicians reported high burnout scores across all Copenhagen Burnout Inventory domains. A personal burnout score of 50 or higher was independently associated with six or more monthly on-call shifts [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 4.82], out-of-hours endoscopy duty (adjusted OR = 3.45), more than 60 endoscopic procedures per week (adjusted OR = 2.91), inadequate endoscopy unit staff support (adjusted OR = 2.68), and six or more outpatient sessions per week (adjusted OR = 2.40). Only 6/278 respondents (2.2%) reported access to institutional psychological support. Because the sample was self-selected, these findings should be interpreted as respondent-level associations rather than national prevalence estimates. The results highlight modifiable workload and organisational correlates of burnout and support system-level interventions.
