4. Prevalence of Burnout
• Approximately 50% of students experience burnout and 10%
experience suicidal ideation during medical school1
• Between 25-75% of medical residents experience burnout
depending on the specialty2
• Approximately 1 in 3 doctors (both medical and surgical) are
experiencing physician burnout at any given time3

5. Prevalence of Burnout
• Survey of 27,276 U.S. physicians, 7288 (26.7%) completed surveys.
• 45.8% of physicians reported at least 1 symptom of burnout.
• Compared with a sample of over 3442 working US adults, physicians
were more likely to have symptoms of burnout (37.9% vs 27.8%) and
to be dissatisfied with work-life balance (40.2% vs 23.2%).

between what people are and what they have
to do.
It represents an erosion in
value, dignity, spirit, and will – an erosion of
the human soul.
It is a malady that spreads gradually and
continuously over time, putting people into a
downward spiral from which it‟s hard to
recover.”

about how to beat burnout could be
summed up in one word,
that word would be balance –
balance between giving and
getting, balance between stress and
calm, balance between work and
home.‟‟

24. If burnout involves
exhaustion,
depersonalization
and decreased personal efficacy,
how can we become more resilient to
better navigate stress and reengage so that we can
experience greater vitality,
more fully connect with others, ourselves and our source of inspiration,
as well as thrive with peak performance?

As part of its commitment to foster physician health and well-being, the CMA gathered data on occupational stress andburnout in its 2003 Physician Resource Questionnaire (PRQ). The PRQ incorporated Boudreau’s Burnout Questionnaire, a30-item scale developed by Dr. Robert Boudreau, Professor of Organizational Behaviour in the Faculty of Management atthe University of Lethbridge. Boudreau’s Burnout Questionnaire examines three dimensions of burnout: depersonalization,lack of personal accomplishment and emotional exhaustion.The 2003 PRQ was sent to a scientific random sample of 8172 active Canadian physicians (including bothCMA members and nonmembers, excluding residents). The survey was in the field from February 2003 to June 2003;CMA received 2251 responses.

Is the professional satisfaction of general internists associated with patient satisfaction?Haas JS, Cook EF, Puopolo AL, Burstin HR, Cleary PD, Brennan TA.SourceDivision of General Internal Medicine, San Francisco General Hospital, and the Institute for Health Policy Studies, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA. jhaas@itsa.ucsf.eduAbstractBACKGROUND:The growth of managed care has raised a number of concerns about patient and physician satisfaction. An association between physicians' professional satisfaction and the satisfaction of their patients could suggest new types of organizational interventions to improve the satisfaction of both.OBJECTIVE:To examine the relation between the satisfaction of general internists and their patients.DESIGN:Cross-sectional surveys of patients and physicians.SETTING:Eleven academically affiliated general internal medicine practices in the greater-Boston area.PARTICIPANTS:A random sample of English-speaking and Spanish-speaking patients (n = 2,620) with at least one visit to their physician (n = 166) during the preceding year.MEASUREMENTS:Patients' overall satisfaction with their health care, and their satisfaction with their most recent physician visit.MAIN RESULTS:After adjustment, the patients of physicians who rated themselves to be very or extremely satisfied with their work had higher scores for overall satisfaction with their health care (regression coefficient 2.10; 95% confidence interval 0.73-3.48), and for satisfaction with their most recent physician visit (regression coefficient 1.23; 95% confidence interval 0.26-2.21). In addition, younger patients, those with better overall health status, and those cared for by a physician who worked part-time were significantly more likely to report better satisfaction with both measures. Minority patients and those with managed care insurance also reported lower overall satisfaction.CONCLUSIONS:The patients of physicians who have higher professional satisfaction may themselves be more satisfied with their care. Further research will need to consider factors that may mediate the relation between patient and physician satisfaction.

Society of General Internal Medicine.Konrad TR, Williams ES, Linzer M, McMurray J, Pathman DE, Gerrity M, Schwartz MD, Scheckler WE, Van Kirk J, Rhodes E, Douglas J.SourceCecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 27599-7590, USA. bob_konrad@unc.eduAbstractBACKGROUND:Changes in the demographic, specialty, and employment sector composition of medicine have altered physicians' jobs, limiting autonomy and reducing morale. Because physician job satisfaction has been linked to clinical variables, better measurement might help to ameliorate conditions linked to medical disaffection, possibly improving health care.OBJECTIVE:To document conceptual development, item construction, and use of content experts in designing multidimensional measures of physician job satisfaction and global satisfaction scales for assessing physicians' job perceptions across settings and specialties.DESIGN:Using previous research, physician focus groups, secondary analysis of survey data, interviews with physician informants, and a multispecialty physician expert panel, distinct job facets and statements representing those facets were developed.RESULTS:Facets from previously validated instruments included autonomy, relationships with colleagues, relationships with patients, relationships with staff, pay, resources, and status. New facets included intrinsic satisfaction, free time away from work, administrative support, and community involvement. Physician status items were reconfigured into relationships with peers, patients, staff, and community, yielding 10 hypothetical facets. Global scales and items were developed representing satisfaction with job, career, and specialty.CONCLUSIONS:A comprehensive approach to assessing physician job satisfaction yielded 10 facets, some of which had not been previously identified, and generated a matching pool of items for subsequent use in field tests.
DESIGN National mailed survey.SETTINGCanada.PARTICIPANTS A random sample of 8100 Canadian physicians (response rate 40%, N = 3213); 2536 responses (from physicians working more than 35 hours per week) were analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Levels of burnout, values congruence, and workload, by sex, measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory—General Scale and the Areas of WorklifeScale.RESULTS Results showed a moderate level of burnout among Canadian physicians, with relatively positive scores on exhaustion, average scores on cynicism, and mildly negative scores on professional efficacy. A series of multiple regression analyses confirmed parallel main effect contributions from manageable workload and values congruence. Both workload and values congruence predicted exhaustion and cynicism for men and women (P = .001). Only values congruence provided a significant prediction of professional efficacy for both men and women (P = .001) These predictors interacted for women on all 3 aspects of burnout (exhaustion, cynicism, and diminished efficacy). Howevever, overall levels of the burnout indicators departed only modestly from normative levels.
First provide you some facts about stress to show you you are not alone and look at its tremendous impact and consequences on health, productivity and the bottom lineWe will then set a foundation to effectively navigate stress by providing you with a solid understanding how your brain functions under stress and at peak performanceThis understanding of the brain together as well as drawing on the fields of psychology, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, evidence-based medicine and the findings of a study I conducted in 2000 at San Francisco Intl Airport on the stress around self-doubt will serve as the foundation of a 4 step framework I will provide you to effectively navigate stress, uncertainty and self-doubt and show you in very simple and practical ways it can be used to improve decision making, enhance communication (whether with family, friends, colleagues or clients) and take healthy wise and productive action to achieve peak performance in times of high stress. If you are in a leadership position, I’ll also show you how to use this framework to facilitate the positive changes in others.
