Pdf Summary

Provider burnout is a chronic condition characterized by emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion. It can be caused by job stressors such as role conflict, high workload, and time pressures. Burnout is characterized by three pillars: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low sense of personal accomplishment. It is important to understand burnout from both an APP perspective and a GI perspective.<br /><br />There are personal interventions that can help prevent burnout. These include finding value in your job, solidifying your support system, and taking time off. It is also important to foster well-being and resilience by saying no, following your passions, and setting boundaries.<br /><br />Institutional interventions are also crucial in preventing burnout. Supportive leaders can promote a healthy work environment by promoting self-care, flexible hours, and time off. Institutions should also support staff by offsetting administrative and non-clinical burdens and providing protected time for records. Gain control of scheduling and offer flexibility in scheduling to prevent burnout.<br /><br />Overall, burnout is a real issue that can impact the well-being of providers and their ability to care for patients. Personal and institutional interventions, along with effective communication, can help prevent and improve burnout.
