A study found that the healthcare workforce could dwindle in the face of increased burnout, workload, and COVID-19-associated stress.
According to a new study published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, one in five physicians intend to leave their practice in the next two years because of employee burnout, increased workload, fear of infection, and stress associated with COVID-19. The findings indicate increased pressure on an already strained healthcare workforce.
Researchers surveyed 20,665 healthcare workers at 124 institutions between July 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020.
The researchers examined worker intentions to reduce hours or resign from their position and their fear of viral exposure or transmission, anxiety or depression related to COVID-19, work overload, and burnout.
