Prevention of burnout syndrome in physicians: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of burnout prevention programs for physicians, analyzing 22 randomized controlled trials from 2019 to 2022. The findings indicate that individual interventions, particularly mindfulness-based stress reduction, result in a small to moderate reduction in burnout symptoms compared to control groups. The authors note that effects diminish when accounting for study bias and heterogeneity, suggesting future research should prioritize structural interventions addressing workload and administrative burdens.
