A recent study offered another bleak assessment of burnout and dissatisfying conditions in the health care workforce.
“The hospital workforce remains in disarray despite the ebbing of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said the original investigation. “Physician and Nurse Well-Being and Preferred Interventions to Address Burnout in Hospital Practice – Factors Associated With Turnover, Outcomes, and Patient Safety,” was published by JAMA Health Forum in July 2023.
