The report asked 500 American healthcare workers about their mental and physical health on the job.
Five findings:
- In terms of physical effects, 42 percent of respondents said they felt physically exhausted and a quarter reported more physical pain, like backaches or shoulder pain.
- Only 22 percent of healthcare workers feel excited to go to work, and that number drops to 15 percent for caregivers.
- Among health IT workers, 45 percent reported neck pain and 37 percent reported back pain.
- Caregivers had higher rates of reported pain, with 50 percent of them reporting neck pain and 46 percent reporting back pain.
- Around 35 percent of caregivers reported that they didn’t have access to the necessary equipment to reduce physical symptoms of stress and burnout. Sixty-one percent of caregivers also thought that leadership could do a better job of promoting work-life balance.
