Burnout in radiology residents is linked to program effectiveness and social support. Male residents reported higher depersonalization, while physical activity improved personal accomplishment. Interventions should focus on work burden and wellness time.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Radiology
- Occupational Health
Background:
- Burnout significantly impacts resident and patient health.
- Understanding burnout factors is crucial for resident well-being.
Purpose of the Study:
- Assess burnout prevalence in U.S. radiology residents.
- Identify factors associated with burnout.
Main Methods:
