Burnout Syndrome among Surgeons in Nagpur
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: Burnout is defined as exhaustion resulting from excessive demands on energy and resources. The features are combination of emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalisation (DP), and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment (PA). Training for and practicing surgery are stressful endeavours. Studies involving national samples of surgeons from surgical subspecialty societies and graduates of surgical training programs suggest that burnout rates among surgeons range from 30% to 38%. These statistics indicate that a substantial number of our colleagues are struggling with personal and professional distress at a level that should be of concern to all surgeons. Keywords: Burnout, Surgeons.
