The Resilient Physician A Pocket Guide to Stress Management

Burnout is a stress-induced syndrome defned by the three distinct manifestations: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and diminished sense of personal accomplishment . It is no surprise that burnout among physicians is on the rise. A 2015 Mayo Clinic survey compared burnout between 2011 and 2014 and reported an increase in the percentage of physicians reporting at least one symptom of burnout, from 45.5% to 54.4%. Loss of autonomy, increasing demands of time and energy, insurance hassles, and the ever-present “electronization” of medicine have intruded into the once sacred bond between doctor and patient. In fact, a recent physician survey noted that the top three causes of burnout were too many bureaucratic tasks, followed by too many work hours and increasing computerization. Most physicians were drawn to the medical vocation in an effort to help others and mitigate suffering. To most, the call to medicine was indeed a vocation, not a profession. The word vocation is derived from the Latin word vocatio, “a call.” When one answers a “calling,” fulfllment and satisfaction follow—that is, when one is empowered to actualize the “calling” through enactment of one’s passion and enthusiasm.
