Burnout in cardiology: a narrative review

J Invasive Cardiol. 2024 Feb 26. doi: 10.25270/jic/23.00292. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe frequency of burnout is rising among cardiologists, affecting not only their well-being but also the quality of patient care. Computerization of practice, bureaucracy, excessive workload, lack of control/autonomy, hostile and hectic work environments, insufficient income, and work life imbalance are the main categories listed as contributing factors to cardiologists' burnout. Organization- and physician-directed interventions can be impactful; however, the effectiveness and feasibility of these interventions have rarely been assessed in cardiology. This review summarizes recent publications on burnout in cardiology, discusses the contributing factors and implications of burnout on physicians' health and patient safety, and explores possible interventions.PMID:38422526 | DOI:10.25270/jic/23.00292
