Relationship Between Work-Home Conflicts and Burnout Among American Surgeons: A Comparison by Sex
The following study, published in JAMA Surgery sought to evaluate differences in burnout and career satisfaction between men and women surgeons and to determine the relationships among personal factors, professional characteristics, and work-home conflicts. Members of the American College of Surgeons completed an anonymous self-reported survey. The study found that more women than men surgeons had burnout and depressive symptoms. Furthermore, work-home conflicts appear to be a major contributor to surgeon burnout, and women were more likely to experience work-home conflicts than their male colleagues.
