This study attempted to explore the prevalence and correlation of burnouts amoung providers who work in small independent primary care practices. In order to do so, they conducted a cross-sectional analysis by using data collected from 235 providers practicing in 174 small independent primary care practices in New York City. They found that the burnout rate was relatively low among the sample of providers compared with previous surveys that focused primarily on larger practices. The independence and autonomy providers have in these small practices may provide some protection against symptoms of burnout. In addition, the relationship between adaptive reserve and lower rates of burnout point toward potential interventions for reducing burnout that include strengthening primary care practices’ learning and development capacity.
