Burnout and risk of cardiovascular disease: Evidence, possible causal paths, and promising research directions.

Abstract: Burnout is characterized by emotional exhaustion, physical fatigue, and cognitive weariness, resulting from prolonged exposure to work-related stress. The authors review the accumulated evidence suggesting that burnout and the related concept of vital exhaustion are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular-related events. The authors present evidence supporting several potential mechanisms linking burnout with ill health, including the metabolic syndrome, dysregulation of the… Show more

“…The construct validity was assessed and compared with the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey and superior results were found for the SMBM [29]. Several other studies used the SMBM to correlate burnout with physical health (eg, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes) [20,21,31], thereby supporting its construct validity. We found substantial internal consistency (Cronbach's a = 0.95) in our sample.…”

“…As yet, no obvious explanation for this gender difference has been found. Exhaustion has frequently been associated with work-related stressors (Bultmann, Kant, Van den Brandt, & Kasl, 2002;Donders, Roskes, & van der Gulden, 2007;Hardy, Shapiro, & Borrill, 1997;Kant, Bultmann, Schroer, Beurskens, Van Amelsvoort, & Swaen, 2003;Melamed, Shirom, Toker, Berliner, & Shapira, 2006;Schnorpfeil, Noll, Wirtz, Schultze, Ehlert, Frey et al, 2002). In the last decades striking changes have occurred in the composition of the paid labour work force.…”

“…These stressors can lead to medical errors and stressrelated illness and ultimately have led some physicians to leave the practice of orthopaedic surgery [15,22]. Because all of these results of stress are unacceptable, we hypothesized potential risk factors that lead to burnout can be identified, and there are prevention and coping strategies that can avert the onset of burnout before negative manifestations arise.…”
