Burnout is usually defined as long-term, unresolved, work-related stress that can lead to cynicism, detachment, exhaustion, or a lack of sense of personal accomplishment.
And in medicine, studies have also linked it to decreased patient satisfaction in care.
That's what we think.
Burnout is particularly pervasive among health care workers, such as physicians or nurses.
And at least one study published in 2019 found that physicians were at greater risk for burnout compared to general U.S.
adult workers.
And they also report being less satisfied with their work-life balance.
So for a number of years, the healthcare industry have tried a number of things, including wellness programs, hiring chief wellness officers, or reducing administrative tasks.
And in the last several years, the rate of burnout has decreased slightly based on the data from Medscape, which is where the report is from.
In 2015, overall, they reported about 46% of burnout.
This year, it dropped to about 42%.
So it's a small shift, but it's still pervasive throughout the profession.
Yes, so the methods that they used to deal with burnout were also slightly different.
For millennials, the top two things that they did to cope were either sleep or talk about it with family or friends.
And the Gen Xers or the Boomers were more likely to exercise or isolate themselves from others, though all generations did a mixture of different things.
Sure.
More than two-thirds of these physicians said that their burnout affected their relationships with either their friends or their family.
So partially, but most of it tends to be a systematic issue, or at least that's what researchers say, is that burnout, especially in health care, has to do with the way that health care itself has sort of changed rather than the individual.
And a lot of the things that they're reporting, more administrative tasks, more hours spent in work and outside of work doing paperwork, are really system-wide issues.
Thanks for having me.
