High rate of burnout among anaesthesiologists in Belgrade teaching hospitals: Results of a cross-sectional survey

CONCLUSION: Burnout rates in Belgrade teaching hospitals among anaesthesiologists are higher than in foreign hospitals. Emotional and/or physical breakdowns can have serious effects when these individuals care for patients in extremely stressed situations that may occur perioperatively. Causes for burnout should be examined more closely and means implemented to reverse this process.
