Quality of Professional Life and Empathy of Healthcare Workers in an Emergency Department of General Hospital: A Cross-Sectional Study
Stress and burnout were higher among physicians than among other HWs, but empathy was high among all HWs, with no sex difference. These findings may inform future training programs and organizational policies aimed at improving the HWs professional quality of life, suggesting that support for HWs are essential for quality of care.
