Massachusetts doctors are experiencing burnout at higher rates since COVID-19 overwhelmed their medical practices and hospitals, new research has found.
They found the share of doctors reporting “high burnout” scores on a standardized questionnaire in two of three areas — exhaustion, cynicism and reduced personal efficiency — fell from 44.4% in 2017 to 41.9% in 2019, before the pandemic. But it boomeranged to 50.4% in 2021, a year after the first COVID cases hit the U.S. medical system.
According to the study, “the COVID-19 pandemic has had profound implications for the physician workforce nationwide” that have outlasted the end of public health restrictions. Researchers asked the physicians about their satisfaction with their careers and compensation, leadership and diversity issues, personal well-being and administrative workloads.
