ABSTRACT
The prevalence of burnout among healthcare providers has been increasing recently. Several studies and surveys have shown these high levels of burnout, but none of them have asked about the primary cause of it. We sent an online survey to 800 general surgeons across India and received 221 unique and complete responses that we used for analysis. Almost 50% of the surgeons responded that insufficient work-life balance and high workload are their primary reasons for burnout. Most of them responded that they were unsatisfied with the compensation and medical infrastructure, but they believe that they get adequate chances to learn and upskill in their field. More research needs to be done to explore other medical specialties as well.
