Evaluating Well-Being in OB/GYN Residents and Faculty

Abstract

Background: Between 22% and 60% of practicing physicians are reported to have experienced burnout. OB/GYN resident burnout has been reported at 90%. Duty-hour limitations were implemented for patient safety and have been associated with some increase in overall resident quality of life, but also potential sacrifices in resident education and patient care. Contributors to burnout and drivers of engagement include workload and job demands, control and flexibility, and poor work-life integration.
