Health Care Provider Burnout in a United States Military Medical Center During a Period of War
INTRODUCTION
Concerns have been raised about provider burnout and the impact it may have on the U.S. health care system.1 One definition of burnout is “a syndrome of emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DEP), and a lack of a sense of personal accomplishment that occurs in response to chronic exposure to occupational stressors.”2 The effects of burnout include decreased efficiency, diminished empathy and compassion, greater risk for medical errors, and increased job turnover.3,6Burnout may also be associated with personal adverse consequences, such as decreased daily functioning and mental health morbidity.5
The onset of burnout is often insidious and goes unnoticed. Burnout is rarely caused by a single event but results from the erosion of a provider's capacity to cope with chronic occupational stressors over time.
