“Addressing physician stress and burnout: impact, implications, and what we need to do”

Summary/Abstract: Growing levels of physician stress and burnout have reached a point where many physicians are becomingly increasingly frustrated and dissatisfied with medical practice resulting in negative attitudes and behaviors that can adversely impact satisfaction, care relationships, and outcomes of patient care. There are many factors contributing to this predicament which implies that there is no easy fix to the problem. The problem is further exacerbated by the fact that many physicians are either too busy to notice, or do not recognize the serious of the situation, or are reluctant to ask for outside help. One of the key components of success is to gain a better understanding of the physician world, listen to their concerns, and to then pro-activelyprovide appropriate support and resources to help physicians better adjust to the pressures of today’s health care environment
