Poor control over specific aspects of work is associated with burnout among physicians, according to a study published online Nov. 26 in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Christine A. Sinsky, M.D., from the American Medical Association in Chicago, and colleagues examined the association of perceived work control with burnout and career intentions in a multi-institutional cross-sectional survey study involving more than 2,000 U.S. physicians.
The researchers found that 61.4, 60.6, and 61.3 percent of the respondents reported adequate control over patient load, adequate control over membership of their clinical team, and adequate control over workload, respectively; 49.0 and 74.6 percent reported adequate control of hiring of staff and clinical schedule, respectively.
