Helping the Helpers: A Wellness Primer for Healthcare

Burnout is a growing occupational health issue that impacts nearly half of all pediatricians, causing wide-ranging effects from medical errors to staff turnover, and even depression or suicidal ideation. The implications of burnout aren’t just personal; they ripple throughout the entire healthcare system, from increased patient mortality rates to detrimental mental health effects on providers.
In this video, Heather Hoch De Keyser, MD, director of wellbeing at Children’s Hospital Colorado’s Breathing Institute, delves into the three dimensions of burnout as classified by the World Health Organization and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. She also explores evidence-based solutions for providers and institutions to combat burnout. From personal shifts in mindset, like adopting gratitude practices and mindfulness, to system-wide changes, like improving work-life balance, there are tangible solutions for preventing burnout in healthcare.
