Prevalence of burnout and impact of workload on physician wellness: A cross‐sectional survey of hospitalists in British Columbia, Canada
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hospitalists in British Columbia care for a large percentage of hospitalized patients across 21 acute care facilities. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to characterize the demographic and work attributes of the workforce and to understand levels of burnout and the relationship between workload and job satisfaction. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of individuals participating in hospitalist programs in BC. RESULTS: Almost all individuals (96%) were involved in the care of patients with COVID-19 in 2021, the height of the pandemic. High rates of burnout were demonstrated among hospitalists, with a large number of providers planning to significantly reduce or stop their involvement in acute care. Regression analysis identified workload as an important factor associated with burnout. Older physicians, those who had been practising for longer, and those with moderate to high number of shifts were more likely to consider reducing their involvement with their programs. CONCLUSIONS: High levels of burnout are associated with a desire to reduce work involvement among BC hospitalists. Health system leaders need to consider factors contributing to burnout as a key aspect of broader health human resource planning efforts.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
