Adaptive emotion regulation might prevent burnout in emergency healthcare professionals: an exploratory study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emergency department (ED) professionals face a high risk of physical, mental, and emotional strain, which can lead to burnout. Burnout arises from chronic work-related stress, which negatively impacts ED professionals, the healthcare system, as well as patient outcomes. Effective adaptive emotion regulation strategies (ERS) are crucial for handling stress in healthcare workplaces and mitigating the risk of burnout.

This cross-sectional exploratory study aims to investigate the relationship between mental distress, burnout, adaptive and maladaptive ERS among healthcare professionals in an ED.
