Burnout among Palliative Care Physicians in India: A Multicentric Cross-sectional Study
Although most palliative care physicians in India demonstrated low levels of burnout, a significant minority exhibited moderate to high burnout-particularly in domains related to work and patient care. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions aimed at improving institutional support, encouraging physical well-being and optimising work environments to mitigate burnout and enhance the sustainability of palliative care practice.
