A survey of the members of the American Society of Pediatric Neurosurgeons and factors associated with well-being
This survey study of the ASPN membership revealed a 49% rate of burnout with females at higher risk (67%). Factors associated with burnout were salary, more than 10 days on call per month, electronic medical record stressors, and work-life incongruity. The aforementioned notwithstanding, respondents believe pediatric neurosurgery is a meaningful career. This study provides evidence supporting a moral imperative toward recognition of burnout symptoms and a pivot point toward implementing change.
