Personal and Professional Factors Associated With Work-Life Integration Among US Physicians.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Poor work-life integration (WLI) occurs when career and personal responsibilities come in conflict and may contribute to the ongoing high rates of physician burnout. The characteristics associated with WLI are poorly understood.

Objective

To identify personal and professional factors associated with WLI in physicians and identify factors that modify the association between gender and WLI.

Design, setting, and participants

This cross-sectional study was based on electronic and paper surveys administered October 2017 to March 2018 at private, academic, military, and veteran's practices across the US. It used a population-based sample of US physicians across all medical specialties. Data analysis was performed from November 2019 to July 2020.
