Beyond clinician burnout predisposing factors, what is the appropriate intervention?
RI PT
Dear Editor, The rise of burnout signals is alarming worldwide. Bienvenu [1], summarized the predisposing risk factors for clinician burnout to include younger clinicians without

families, overloaded work schedule, practitioners dealing with withdrawing life support decisions, quality of working relationships, practitioners who care for dying patients, and
M AN U
visiting hours policy.
Fassier and Azoulay emphasized the critical value of individual control at workplace where dispute and conflicts enhance the burnout development [2] moreover, unclear roles

and assignments is another burnout potentiation. Slight in the decision-making could be associated with reduced performance and lower workload coordination and hence the reducing the control, lowering the chances of achieving individuals commitment, with

lower energy and health. [3] Unfair intrinsic or extrinsic rewarding system indeed could
AC C
increase the chances for burnout experience. [3].
Understanding the traumatizing factors is needed to prevent burnout. Social
interaction, conflicts, reciprocal support, vicinity, and teamwork are the core value of organizational community. Pross (2006) empahsized that community related social and political pressure put the employers under stress. Population characteristics, and financial backup, public support and financial backup undergo continuous changes which could be

reflected on the workers stress. [4] Hobfoll (2001) added that trends to resources conservation could decipher the resource loss in stressful situations. Resources conservation and appraisal-based procedures could be influential for the stress process.

Recently nationality emerges in evolvement of burnout. Omar et al (2015) reported higher burnout in Syrian practitioners working in a multinational community, where civil

war in their native country added to the manifest stressors. [6] Similarly Al-Turki [6] et al., (2010) found that non-Saudi nurses were more susceptible to emotional exhaustion than Saudi nurses. [7] Satisfaction and well-being of the physician appear to be linked to the leadership quality. This in turn gives evidence about the importance of leadership

selection in attempt to reduce burnout. [8] There is a growing awareness that physician burnout is influenced by institutional factors including the practice environment efficacy, the practitioners provided autonomy, and workload. [8 -11]

A recent systemic review and meta-analysis summarized the interventions required for burnout reduction into organizational and individual focused approaches. [12] The

diversity of predisposing factors of burnout mandate working plan aim at early recognition and organization based management, hence reducing chances for its evolvement.

Burnout is getting more attention, appropriate intervention should aim at better orientation, early identification, and management of predisposing factors could prevent
