Differences in Burnout and Intent to Leave Between Women's Health and General Primary Care Providers in the Veterans Health Administration.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although they are a minority of patients served by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), women Veterans comprise a fast-growing segment of these patients and have unique clinical needs. Women's health primary care providers (WH-PCPs) are specially trained and designated to provide care for women Veterans. Prior work has demonstrated that WH-PCPs deliver better preventative care and have more satisfied patients than PCPs without the WH designation. However, due to unique clinical demands or other factors, WH-PCPs may experience more burnout and intent to leave practice than general PCPs in the VHA.

Objective

To examine differences in burnout and intent to leave practice among WH and general PCPs in the VHA.

Design

Multi-level logistic regression analysis
