For the study, researchers surveyed pediatric residents from 126 programs between 2016 and 2018.
More than 50 percent of residents reported burnout every year. Researchers did not find a link between burnout and resident demographics. However, stress, sleepiness, dissatisfaction with work-life balance and medical errors were all associated with a higher risk of burnout.
Empathy, self-compassion, quality of life and confidence in providing compassionate care were linked to lower burnout risk.
Researchers noted these factors could serve as targets for future interventions to address burnout.
