1From the Department of Nursing, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii (K.A.A.); The Queen's Medical Center, Honolulu, Hawaii (K.A.A.); and Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, Hawaii (E.L.).
Insights
Physician burnout and nurse practitioner burnout differ by role, gender, and race. Addressing work-life factors is key to improving clinician well-being.
Area of Science:
- Medical professional well-being
- Occupational health psychology
Background:
- Clinician burnout is a significant issue impacting healthcare.
- Understanding factors contributing to burnout among physicians and nurse practitioners (NPs) is crucial for targeted interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess burnout and work-life factors among physicians and NPs in a large medical group.
- To identify disparities in burnout and work-life alignment across different demographic groups.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Areas of Worklife Survey.
- Surveyed 604 physicians and NPs in a Hawaii-based medical group (January-March 2024).
Main Results:
- Physicians reported higher emotional exhaustion and depersonalization than NPs.
- Gender-diverse and underrepresented racial groups experienced lower work-life alignment and increased burnout.
- Moderate associations found between emotional exhaustion and workload alignment, and depersonalization and values.
Conclusions:
- Burnout varies significantly among physicians and NPs based on role, gender, race, and years of practice.
- Interventions must be tailored to address specific areas of work-life factor misalignment.
- Improving clinician well-being requires a multifaceted approach to combat burnout.
Objective:
This study aimed to assess burnout and work-life factors among physicians and nurse practitioners (NPs) in a large medical group.
Methods:
The Maslach Burnout Inventory and Areas of Worklife Survey were distributed to physicians and NPs in a large medical group in Hawaii between January and March 2024.
Results:
Among 604 participants, physicians reported higher emotional exhaustion and depersonalization than NPs. Gender-diverse and underrepresented racial groups reported lower work-life alignment and higher burnout. Correlational studies resulted in moderate associations between emotional exhaustion and workload alignment, and between depersonalization and values.
Conclusions:
Burnout in physicians and NPs varies by role, gender, race, and years of practice. Tailored interventions addressing areas of work-life factors alignment are needed to improve clinician burnout and well-being.
