Resilience and Burnout Among Physicians and the General US Working Population.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The prevalence of physician burnout is well documented, and resilience training has been proposed as an option to support physician well-being. However, the resilience of physicians compared with that of the US working population is not established, and the association between resilience and physician burnout is not well understood.

Objectives

Design, setting, and participants

A cross-sectional national survey study of 5445 US physicians and a probability-based sample of 5198 individuals in the US working population was conducted between October 12, 2017, and March 15, 2018.

Main outcomes and measures
