Team Structure and Culture Are Associated with Lower Burnout in Primary Care

The following study, published in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, investigates the relationship between team structure, team culture, and emotional exhaustion of clinicians and staff in primary care practices. 231 clinicians and 280 staff members of 10 public and 6 university-run primary care clinics in San Francisco were surveyed for emotional exhaustion and perception of team culture. Results show that working in a tight team structure and perceptions of a greater team culture were associated with less clinician exhaustion.
