“…While the majority of our survey respondents did agree that hospital administrations are aware of radiology needs, they are often not prioritized, which not only strains the workload but also diminishes work environment control and fairness, all of which play a role in burnout. 18 Several limitations exist in our study. Firstly, we based our survey questions on common risk factors for burnout from the United States.…”

“…Increased workload can lead to a decrease in the quality of work with more errors due to inadequate time to consult medical records or referring clinicians. 18 Uncertainties within the field of radiology, particularly provincial billing changes, troubled both radiologists and trainees. While similar cuts have been observed in the United States, with payment caps to Medicare, Canadian radiologists do not have the option of private billing to compensate for potential losses.…”

Purpose: There is worsening of burnout symptoms experienced by radiologists and trainees. We explored potential factors that exacerbate burnout symptoms observed in the Canadian radiological community and currently available protective factors as next steps for establishing viable solutions for burnout. Methods: An 11-question electronic survey was distributed to Canadian radiologists and trainees through the Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR). Approval from a local ethics board and the CAR were obtained. The survey contained demographics-related questions as well as questions based on common risk factors for burnout. Qualitative and quantitative analyses were performed. Results: The survey was distributed to 2200 CAR members, and a response rate of 23.3% was achieved. Most radiologists experienced frequent unexpected high workload with no statistically significant difference by the type of practice. Trainees experienced a statistically significantly ( P < .0001) higher frequency of on-call shifts compared to staff radiologists. A statistically significant difference ( P < .0001) was observed for perceived threats to career longevity dependent on length of career. Although support mechanisms for radiology were perceived as available, survey commentary suggested inefficiency in their usage and lack of prioritization, which was a trend observed across all types of practice. Conclusions: While there is awareness for radiology needs, changes are required at the workplace level to reduce burnout symptoms at their source. Communication between radiologists and hospital administration, as well as among radiology group members, is key to prioritize radiology needs in our imaging-driven era of health care.

“…Despite heterogeneity in the types of institutional initiatives, those with the greatest effect tended to combine several elements (such as job control, teamwork, leadership) rather than focusing on a simple reduction in workload or hours. Several authors have approached the problem of physician burnout from the work life model, which focuses on harmonizing the institution with the individual via six domains: workload, control, reward, community, fairness, and values [12][13][14]. This model theorizes that the greater the mismatch between the person and the institution (or workplace) in these areas, the higher the likelihood of burnout.…”

“…Specific drivers of stress include lack of autonomy, inefficiency, time pressures, clerical burdens, loss of control, and loss of meaning in one's work. Gunderman (30) and Maslach et al (31) identified six "mismatches" (Table 3) that can exist between individual employees and organizations and lead to stress and the associated sequelae, including insufficient rewards, breakdown of the work community, absence of fairness, and conflicting values. Both classification systems (involving the seven major drivers of burnout and engagement and involving the six mismatches of the individual and organizational domains) are useful for helping radiologists understand specific drivers of stress and determine approaches for mitigation.…”

Physician wellness is recognized as a critical component of enhancing the quality of health care. An epidemic of symptoms related to stress and burnout among medical professionals, including radiologists, in the workplace is threatening not only health care providers at a personal level but also the entire health care system. In this review, the authors highlight recognized stressors in the contemporary radiology workplace and offer practical suggestions for mitigating burnout, improving professional engagement, and promoting wellness. Thematic goals to focus on include fostering an integrated and harmonious community at work, diminishing workplace detractors, creating opportunities to cultivate positive attitudes and intellect, and implementing effective leadership practices. ©
