The Measurement of Orthopaedic Surgeon Burnout Using a Validated Wearable Device.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was (1) to determine the prevalence of burnout in orthopaedic surgeons and (2) to determine whether there is an association or correlation between subject-specific variables (age, attending physician, resident, postgraduate year level, gender, number of calls, total hours worked, and total hours of sleep) and burnout.
