Sadly, a top search for the New Year had to do with physician burnout. Physicians least likely to be satisfied with their work are young, have little control over their situation, and have a history of harassment, according to the report. Women tend to respond differently than men, and may burn out more slowly.
Last September JAMA published an article about the growing body of work that highlights the connection between a lack of meaning in work and physician burnout. The article links to a study that proposed a solution to the problem: a form of behavior therapy known as mindful meditation. Another article, published last spring for junior doctors in the UK, offers advice about preserving their mental health while pursuing their profession.
