Current Concepts in Pediatric Critical Care-10: Wellness and Burnout

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Stephanie Schwartz discusses provider wellness, burnout, and the learning environment in healthcare. She defines burnout syndrome as a combination of exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishments. Risk factors for burnout include age, personality traits (such as perfectionism and overcommitment), organizational factors, unit-specific factors, and sleep disruption. Burnout has negative effects on healthcare professionals, including increased rates of substance abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, suicide ideation, and medical errors. Burnout also affects learning and memory, as stress hinders information processing and storage in the brain. Dr. Schwartz emphasizes the importance of addressing burnout at both the individual and institutional levels. Individual interventions include developing positivity, practicing self-care, seeking support, and managing symptoms. Institutional interventions involve creating a safe and supportive work culture, enhancing work-life integration, supporting resilience, and providing resources for mental and physical well-being. Future implications for burnout include more research and trials, reducing stigma, preventing burnout, and improving access to resources.
