Article Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of burnout and satisfaction with work-life integration (WLI) among physicians and US workers in 2023 relative to 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2020, as well as physicians in 2021.
Participants And Methods: Between October 19, 2023, and March 3rd, 2024, we surveyed US physicians and a probability-based sample of the US working population using methods similar to previous studies. Burnout and WLI were measured using standard tools.
Results: Demographic characteristics of the 7643 survey participants were similar to those of practicing US physicians (N=936,074), although participants were more likely to be women (39.6% vs 37.9%). Nonresponder analysis suggested participants were representative of US physicians with regard to burnout and satisfaction with WLI. Overall, 45.2% of physicians reported at least 1 symptom of burnout in 2023 compared with 62.8% in 2021 (P<.001), 38.2% in 2020 (P<.001), 43.9% in 2017 (P=.16), 54.4% in 2014 (P≤.001), and 45.5% in 2011 (P=.49). Overall, 42.2% of physicians (n=2732) were satisfied with WLI in 2023, compared with 30.3% in 2021 (P<.001), 46.1% in 2020 (P<.001), 42.8% in 2017 (P=.02), 40.9% in 2014 (P<.001), and 48.5% in 2011 (P <.001). On multivariable analysis of 2023 participants, physicians were at increased risk for burnout (odds ratio=1.82; 95% CI, 1.63 to 2.05) and were less likely to be satisfied with WLI (odds ratio=0.59; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.66) than other US workers.
Conclusion: Burnout among US physicians improved between 2021 and 2023 and is currently at levels similar to 2017. However, US physicians remain at higher risk for burnout relative to other US workers.

Machine-learning-based model for analysing and accurately predicting factors related to burnout in healthcare workers.
BMJ Public Health

Affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University, Evidence-Based Medicine Center, Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province, Linhai, China.
Objective: The aim of this study is to analyse the factors affecting medical burnout in hospitals, identify the characteristics of staff experiencing high levels of burnout and devise a practical and sustainable prediction mechanism.
Methods: A survey was conducted to access the current situation, followed by a regression analysis using data from the Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey, demographic information related to healthcare personnel and employee job satisfaction metrics from the hospitals under study. Subsequently, four predictive models-logistic regression, K-nearest neighbour, decision tree and random forest (RF)-were employed to predict the degree of healthcare burnout.
Healthcare workers' sustainable employability in relation to quality of care: an umbrella review.
BMJ Open
September 2025
Erasmus School of Health Policy and Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Objectives: There is a wealth of reviews investigating the relations between healthcare worker (HCW) variables and quality of care (QoC) outcomes. Individually, these reviews predominantly focus on one aspect relevant to HCWs' functioning at work, unintentionally contributing to a scattered body of evidence. This umbrella review uses the concept of sustainable employability (SE)-a multidimensional construct that captures an individual's long-term ability to function adequately at work and in the labour market-to integrate existing reviews on the topic, and to examine if and how HCWs' SE is related to QoC.
