Abstract
As defined by the International Classification of Diseases 11th revision, burnout is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions: feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job, and reduced professional efficacy. Multiple studies using the most widely accepted standard for burnout assessment—the Maslach Burnout Inventory—reported an increased incidence of burnout amongst all healthcare workers, particularly physicians. The most reported factor leading to burnout is the lack of appropriate work-life integration (WLI). WLI is a complex issue that requires prioritization, value alignment, boundary setting, and lifelong work. This chapter highlights a few of the many barriers to WLI in medicine, the impact of burnout on the delivery of quality care, and strategies to achieve a goal-based WLI for healthcare workers offering direct patient care during and after training.
