Determining Correlations Between Emergency Department Health Care Workers and their Associated Burnout and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Scores: A Pilot Study

Though these results are not statistically significant, we demonstrate important associations that are clinically relevant. Non-providers under 40 showed higher disengagement, which may be related to competing responsibilities, while depression increased burnout severity across all domains. Importantly, future research with increased samples will allow relevant sub-group comparisons (ie, nurses vs other non-providers) and continued exploration of factors that influence elevated burnout in health care workers.
