BURNOUT ARE WE DISCUSSING SOMETHING NEW ? Freudenberger and subsequently developed by Maslach and colleagues, chronic stress associated with emotionally intense work demands for which resources are inadequate can result in burnout. Burnout is a work-related syndrome involving emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and a sense of reduced personal accomplishment. Workers and leadership alike have long noted the presence burnout. Nearly half, 48% of employees and 53% of managers report that they re burned out at work, according to Microsoft s 2022 Work Trend Index. Amongst physicians, emotional exhaustion includes feeling usedup at the end of a workday and having nothing left to offer patients from an emotional standpoint. A sense of reduced personal accomplishment encompasses feelings of ineffectiveness in helping patients with their problems and a lack of value of the results of work-related activities such as patient care or professional achievements. Types -Disengagement Vs Depletion One type of burnout can occur when you re tired of doing your job, specifically. That is actually disengagement, says Gavin. It happens when you feel uninterested in doing your job because you ve had enough of those tasks and you feel ready to move on to the next role. The other type of burnout is a chronic fatigue in life at large, or depletion of energy.
Craig Pinder defined Motivation as "a set of internal and external forces that initiate work-oriented behavior, determining its form, direction, intensity and duration." That is, the interaction between environment and individual awakens this personal stimulus - this directly impacts the performance of each collaborator. Study - A Harvard Business Review study, presented by 99Jobs, showed that improving team motivation can boost company profits by up to 47%. In addition, the same material indicates that satisfied, happy, and motivated employees are up to 50% more productive. Deli Matsuo, October 2019 Study - Study - Why Workplace Flexibility Is The Linchpin To Employee Happiness Dan Schawbel Former Contributor-Jun 29, 2015 Provide work flexibility to all employees. In the study, we found that 35 percent of employees want more flexible schedules and 46 percent of employees say that flexibility is the most important aspect when looking for a new job. Study - Study - The Power of Food A survey of more than 1,200 full-time professionals reveals food does more than just keep employees fed- Seamless Business, March 2014
Significant to motivate healthcare workers The health sector is characterized as labor-intensive, which means that the effectiveness of an organization that operates within its context is inextricably linked to the level of employee performance. Study - Motivation and retention of health workers in developing countries: a systematic review BMC Health Services Research, Dec 2008 Results- -Twenty articles met the inclusion criteria. They consisted of a mixture of qualitative and quantitative studies. Seven major motivational themes were identified: financial rewards, career development, continuing education, hospital infrastructure, resource availability, hospital management and recognition/appreciation. There was some evidence to suggest that the use of initiatives to improve motivation had been effective in helping retention. There is less clear evidence on the differential response of different cadres.
Study - Motivation of health workers and associated factors in public hospitals of West Amhara, Northwest Ethiopia, Zemichael Weldegebriel, Yohannes Ejigu, Fitsum Weldegebreal, Published online 2016 Feb Results - The strongest drivers of all motivation dimensions were found to be nonfinancial human resource management tools, so policy makers and health workforce stake holders should focus on these tools to alleviate motivation problems. Study - The effect of organisational factors in motivating healthcare employees: a systematic review, Abimbola Afolabi, Senaka Fernando- Published Online:7 Dec 2018 Results - Healthcare employee motivation is a key concept when attempting to achieve an efficient, effective and good quality healthcare delivery. A systematic review of primary data from the UK, Europe, Africa and Asia was conducted to consolidate the available evidence on the effect of organisational factors on healthcare employee motivation. Because healthcare delivery is highly labour intensive, it must be acknowledged that human resources are extremely critical in the drive for healthcare organisations to deliver on their organisational goals. The organisational factors that were identified as having a great effect on healthcare employee motivation can be divided into financial and non-financial factors. Remuneration was identified as a strong extrinsic factor, while conducive working conditions, increased responsibilities and appreciation from the communities in which they serve were identified as strong intrinsic factors. Even though there is a cultural aspect to motivation, remuneration, managerial support, and career advancement are core factors that affect all healthcare professionals irrespective of country. Many of the factors that were observed in the literature as affecting motivation can be addressed by improving the reward strategy of healthcare organisations.
More than half of the populations of middle- and high- income countries are likely to suffer from at least one mental condition during their lifetime. Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, some 42 percent of employees globally have reported a decline in mental health. Symptoms of burnout are increasing among employees and leaders alike, according to press reports. The World Health Organization estimates that depression, anxiety disorders, and other conditions cost the global economy $1 trillion per year in lost productivity. But mental health is a continuum from wellness to acute illness, including substance-use disorders , and even people without a recognized condition may struggle because of stress, external circumstances, or other reasons.

Cost of adverse events due to burn out vs cost of investing in solutions to address burnout? The 2017 Medscape Physician Lifestyle Report suggests that 50% of physicians in the United States report signs of burnout, representing a rise of 4% within a year. Burnout is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease and shorter life expectancy, problematic alcohol use, broken relationships, depression, and suicide. Physicians with burnout are twice as likely to be involved in patient safety incidents, twice as likely to deliver suboptimal care to patients owing to low professionalism, and 3 times more likely to receive low satisfaction ratings from patients. The depersonalization dimension of burnout appears to have the most adverse association with the quality and safety of patient care and with patient satisfaction. The association of burnout with low professionalism was particularly strong among studies based on residents and early-career physicians. The reporting method of patient safety incidents and professionalism had a significant influence on the results, suggesting that improved assessment standards for patient safety and professionalism are needed in the health care field. physician burnout is associated with a reduced efficiency of health care systems to deliver high-quality, safe care to patients. Preventable adverse events cost several billions of dollars to health care systems every year.
Physician Burnout, Well-being, and Work Unit Safety Grades in Relationship to Reported Medical Errors- Mayoclinic 2018 - 6695 responding physicians in active practice, 6586 provided information on the areas of interest: 3574 (54.3%) reported symptoms of burnout, 2163 (32.8%) reported excessive fatigue, and 427 (6.5%) reported recent suicidal ideation, with 255 of 6563 (3.9%) reporting a poor or failing patient safety grade in their primary work area and 691 of 6586 (10.5%) reporting a major medical error in the prior 3 months Few Cross-sectional studies have linked physician burnout with suboptimal patient care practices as well as with a doubled risk of medical error and a 17% increased odds of being named in a medical malpractice suit.
Study : Evaluating the Costs of Nurse Burnout-Attributed Turnover: A Markov Modeling Approach, K. Jane Muir, BSN, RN,* Tanya N. Wanchek, PhD, JD, 2021 Hospital spends an expected $16,736 per nurse per year employed on nurse burnout-attributed turnover costs. In a hospital with a burnout reduction program, such costs were $11,592 per nurse per year employed. Nurses spent more time in burnout under the status quo scenario compared with the burnout reduction scenario (1.5 versus 1.1 y of employment) as well as less time employed at the hospital (2.9 versus 3.5 y of employment) The most widely accepted standard for burnout assessment is the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), which includes a Human Services Survey applicable to healthcare professionals .This instrument is comprised of 22 items, each scored from 0 to 6 based on self-reported frequency of the feeling addressed by each item.
