Update on Mistreatment and Burnout in Pediatric Residents.

Abstract

When we published on mistreatment and burnout in pediatric residents in Academic Pediatrics 1, we wanted to expand the focus on risk factors for burnout to include systemic cultural factors like mistreatment. In the 2019 survey, 45% of residents met criteria for burnout and 33% reported having experienced mistreatment: bullying (19%), discrimination (18%), sexual harassment (5.4%), and/or physical violence (1.3%); the most common sources of mistreatment were clinical staff (60%), patients’ families (54%), and faculty (43%).
