A study by Penn Nursing and the US Clinician Wellbeing Study Consortium reveals high burnout rates among physicians and nurses. About 47% of nurses and 32% of physicians reported experiencing burnout, with many expressing a desire to leave their jobs. Factors such as inadequate staffing, lack of control over workloads, and concerns about patient safety contributed to burnout. Both groups called for improved staffing, better working conditions, and greater emphasis on patient safety. The study also highlighted the need for improved discharge planning and addressing system deficiencies that contribute to medical errors.
