Natural history of burnout, stress, and fatigue in a pediatric resident cohort over three years.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Burnout is known to be high amongst physician trainees. Factors such as stress, fatigue, social environment, and resilience could affect burnout. Cross-sectional data describe burnout in pediatric residents, but the trajectory of burnout in a cohort of residents followed longitudinally through the full course of residency training has not been reported. We prospectively examined the prevalence and trajectory of burnout, stress, fatigue, social connectedness, and resilience in a pediatric resident cohort from orientation through three years of residency. The cohort (N = 33) was surveyed six times between 2015-2018 using the Abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory (AMBI), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Social Connectedness Scale-Revised (SCS-R)
