Medical educational study burnout and job satisfaction among general practitioners and occupational physicians during the COVID-19 epidemic

Abstract

In this narrative review, general practitioners and occupational physicians (GPOPs) are compared in terms of their burnout and job satisfaction. The studies used show an immediate link between burnout and a lack of job satisfaction. However, it is unclear which of these two factors, which will apparently need to be researched and discovered through more research, influences the growth of the other one. High burnout and low satisfaction rates arise because of intrapersonal variables, factors related to the workplace, and factors related to the dynamics of the workplace environment. There is a remarkable rise in burnout among GPOPs during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is critical psychological interventions be made to address burnout and boost job satisfaction levels as it has a detrimental impact and adverse effect on the medical working environment.
