Doctors perceived working conditions, psychological health and patient care: a meta-analysis of longitudinal studies

Conclusion Our results demonstrate the need for a systems perspective to address working conditions to support both doctors’ psychological well-being and patient care. Interventions should target doctors’ job resources as they are more strongly associated with psychological well-being. However, given that job demands were strongly associated with emotional exhaustion, and in turn, clinical care, there is a need to better manage doctors’ workload, conflict and pressure to support the current psychological well-being crises among this occupational group. PROSPERO registration number CRD42020189070.
