✍️ Moral Injury (Burnout) is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed.

It's preferable to use the word moral injury instead of burnout because burnout basically means that a person has some intrinsic problem and because of which he/she is ineffective whereas the word moral injury redefines the problem as external i.e. due to workplace, employer, colleagues, etc.

It is characterized by three dimensions:

1) feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion
2) increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job
3) a sense of ineffectiveness and lack of accomplishment

According to a 2019 report of the National Academy of Medicine, 35-54% of the country’s doctors and nurses experience substantial symptoms of burnout thereby resulting in increased risks to patients, malpractice claims, worker absenteeism and turnover, as well as billions of dollars in losses to the medical industry each year.

Burnout has a significant impact on our personal relationships and it's reported that millennials have a major impact as compared to Gen X or baby boomers.

For the last 3 years, critical care physicians are the most burned out because they need to deal with acute care patients, unhappy families and also need to respond to life-threatening issues.

Another important thing that contributes most to burnout is bureaucratic tasks. Physicians really hate spending more time in front of the computer screen as compared to taking care of the patient.

The best way to reduce burnout is financial compensation and in addition to that, the government and policymakers are taking some steps. Patients Over Paperwork is an initiative by CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) to curb the documentation burden. However, too little and too late!

More efforts should be made to reduce the burnout
