Characterization of Nonphysician Health Care Workers’ Burnout and Subsequent Changes in Work Effort

Abstract

IMPORTANCE Burnout is a pervasive, unrelenting problem among health care workers (HCWs), with detrimental impact to patients. Data on the impact of burnout on workforce staffing are limited and could help build a financial case for action to address system-level contributors to burnout. OBJECTIVE To explore the association of burnout and professional satisfaction with changes in work effort over 24 months in a large cohort of nonphysician HCWs. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This longitudinal cohort study was conducted inRochester

In this Viewpoint, we offer constructs to understand factors that lead physicians and other HCWs to resign, and provide suggestions as to how leaders can restore organizational loyalty and reduce turnover.…”
