Researchers collected survey data from almost 2,000 healthcare workers in a range of roles in emergency care departments across 89 countries on their own levels of burnout and stress.
The results revealed that women have a higher level of burnout than men, with 64 percent of women surveyed reporting some symptoms of burnout compared to 59 percent of men. The pandemic also only served to increase the gender disparity. However, women experiencing burnout seem to report less severe symptoms than the men. Nurses also reported a higher level of burnout than physicians and have an increased likelihood of developing burnout.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
