Burnout and risk factors among anesthesia residents and fellows in a conflict-affected context: A national cross-sectional survey
Burnout levels among anesthesiology residents in conflict-affected areas appear elevated in reference to international studies, which is concerning given the additional stressors associated with ongoing regional conflict. The continuous escalation of these challenges is likely to exacerbate burnout over time. Targeted interventions to manage burnout are crucial for trainees' well-being and the effective functioning of medical institutions, particularly in conflict-affected regions where the stressors are compounded.
