Abstract
Abstract
Many healthcare professionals (HCPs) experience on-going work-related stress. Burnout is an epidemic in the healthcare
system, although many organizations are attempting to address burnout. Future research is needed to enhance studies
and improve ways to reduce burnout, and to develop strategies to help HCPs combat the symptoms of burnout. Burnout is
a prevalent issue among HCPs; the impact on HCPs is severe and validated by numerous studies. The main objectives of
this literature review are to: 1) define burnout among HCPs, 2) describe the epidemiology of burnout in HCPs, 3) explore
the work-related and non-work related risk factors for burnout in HCPs, 4) examine strategies to prevent burnout, and 5)
review the effectiveness of interventions for burnout among HCPs. The unique environment that healthcare involves (i.e.,
demanding schedules, time constraints, the pressure to save lives, and long hours) is often unfavorably and conducive to
burnout. The high prevalence of burnout and the suffering it causes HCPs and their patients points to the urgent need for
effective prevention and intervention programs.
