1. What is burnout and what are some causes of burnout ?
Burnout is a psychological phenomenon that emerges from a prolonged response to interpersonal job related stressors. Burnout can be a result of prolonged job stress caused by a mismatch between the demands associated with the job and the resources or lack of resources available to the provider. Causes of burnout can be when you are asked to work too many shifts or long hours at work. It can be caused by dealing with difficult surgeons.
2. What do you do in your life to decrease the chance of burnout?
I try to exercise when I can. I like to walk the dog, spend time with friends, and make sure to have that work-life balance. I like spending time with my kids and watching them play sports. I try to eat a healthy diet, although it has not been the best since covid began. I also try to foster positive relationships at work and at home.

1. Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands. 2. I make sure to separate myself from whatever or whoever is causing me to burnout. I make sure to spend time with people who I enjoy being around.

1. Burnout occurs in reaction to prolonged external and internal stressors. Causes include production pressure, interpersonal conflict, too many hours working, etc.
2. To avoid burnout I limit work hours and shift length. In addition, I make sure I am taking time to do things I enjoy, take time to relax, try to get plenty of sleep and spend time with family.

Burnout is a psychological syndrome that is secondary to prolonged stress.
To reduce burnout, I try to be present wherever I am. When I’m home, I thoroughly enjoy my family. I also pray, meditate, and practice yoga.

Burnout is the psychological syndrome caused by prolonged exposure to extreme stress, particularly work-related. As CRNAs, it is a career particularly fraught with difficulties with regards to performance pressure, politics, and respect. During the recent pandemic, added worry related to illness of ourselves and our family complicates the stress even further.
To reduce burnout, I exercise, get outside, enjoy the dogs, try some new recipes and love to read. I also have a gratitude journal and and try to write thank-yous to people. It helps.

1. What is burnout and what are some causes of burnout ?
A general definition of burnout is a psychological phenomenon that emerges from a prolonged response to chronic interpersonal job related stressors. Some of the causes of burnout seen in our profession are time constraints, work overload, clinical task complexity, fear of harming the patient, workplace environment, lack of job control, and family constraints.
2. What do you do in your life to decrease the chance of burnout?
I try to spend my time away from work focused on the people and things that bring me joy such as my husband, children, traveling (pre-COVID), enjoying good food and wine. I try to focus on work while I'm at the hospital and limit the amount of time focused on work while I'm at home.

Lack of support from colleagues, lack of respect , long hours, extremely ill patients, Covid19 pandemic, institutional politics.

1. A psychological syndrome that is a direct occupational hazard for healthcare providers, with implications for colleagues, patients, and organizations. It can result in physical and mental health problems (eg, depression, headaches, cardiovascular disease), work/family relationship problems, and increased mental health problems (eg, depression, anxiety, substance abuse). For an organization it can lead to increased turnover, decreased job satisfaction, and absenteeism) as well as decreased quality and satisfaction of patient care.5-7
2. Honestly, for me, a big part of prevention is that I chose a profession I love. I love anesthesia today even more than I did when I started in 2006. I also avoid working OT to make sure I have time away from work. Even though I love anesthesia, too much would not be good for me and I won't be fresh.

1. Burnout is mental, emotional and physical strain from prolonged exposure of occupational stresses. 2. I reduce the risk of burnout for myself by belonging to different cohorts so I have a varied work environment. I pick up OT occasionally but still try to leave some time for myself to do the things I enjoy which include being outside running, hiking, biking and traveling as well as spending time with my family.

1. Burnout is a psychological syndrome of excess stress either mental, emotional, or physical strain. Causes of burnout include over-extending oneself with increased demands in work environments under time constraints and in high intensity theaters
2. For me, I decrease burnout but meditation, eating healthy, getting 8-10 hours sleep, avoiding alcohol, thinking positive and going for walks outside. I try to see the positive in most situations.
