Aims: The study aims to determine and evaluate the levels of professional burnout and job satisfaction among family physicians working in Adyaman. We aimed to evaluate the factors affecting these levels. Methods: This research is a descriptive cross-sectional study. 185 family physicians (86%) agreed to participate in the survey. The survey was added to Google Forms, and the link to the survey was sent to individuals’ personal emails after obtaining verbal consent via cell phones. After verbal verification, data were collected via Google Forms between March 15, 2024, and May 15, 2024. Results: Family physicians working in towns and villages experience lower levels of burnout and higher job satisfaction(p<0.001). Additionally, we found that physicians with lighter work demands(p<0.001), those who perceive the payment system as fairer (p=0.003, p<0.001), those who feel less stressed (p<0.001), and those who maintain a hopeful outlook on the future(p<0.001), also experience reduced burnout and increased job satisfaction. Conclusion: The study identified that factors such as the geographical location where family physicians practice, their workload, and the physical condition of their work environment, alongside psychosocial factors like their sense of security, professional satisfaction, and perceived stress levels, significantly impact occupational burnout and job satisfaction. To enhance the effectiveness and longevity of the family medicine system, which is pivotal in primary health care, it is crucial to consider improvements in physical conditions and psychological and social well-being.
