In preparation for investigating burnout among general practitioners internationally, we examined the validity and reliability of an instrument called the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Twenty-four members from 16 European countries who attended the European General Practice Workshop in Gdansk, Poland (Autumn, 2001) were mailed a draft version of the MBI, and asked to administer it to a small group of family physicians. This pilot study suggests the MBI scale is reliable and valid. We believe it of use in identifying GPs at risk of, or already experiencing, burnout.
