Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on healthcare employees' burnout (BUO) and the underlying mechanism. The findings revealed a negative relationship between CSR and BUO, which was mediated by subjective wellbeing (SW) and compassion (CM). Additionally, employee admiration (AM) was found to buffer the relationship between CSR and BUO.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of individualized professional coaching on psychological burnout, quality of life, and resilience among surgeons. The results showed that after the intervention, the overall burnout rate decreased by 2.5% in the intervention group compared to an increase of 2.5% in the control group. Resilience scores improved by 1.9 points in the intervention group. However, six months later, burnout returned to near baseline levels while resilience continued to improve in the intervention group. The delayed intervention group also experienced improvements in burnout during their coaching experience.

Summary: The study found that physicians had lower self-valuation compared to workers in other fields, and adjusting for self-valuation eliminated the association between being a physician and higher risk for burnout. Further experimental design research is needed to determine the causal relationship between self-valuation and burnout, as well as the potential for intervention at individual, organizational, and professional culture levels.

Summary: Physicians often view the electronic health record (EHR) as a hindrance to meaningful work and have recommended improvements such as reducing EHR time and enhancing EHR usability. Their recommendations span from federal regulations to organizational policies to EHR modifications, and physicians should be involved in planning and implementing these modifications to ensure compatibility with their needs and clinical workflows.

Summary: This study utilized electronic health records and social network modeling to analyze the characteristics of care team structure and dynamics associated with physician well-being. The results showed that physician centrality within the support team and the proportion of messages related to scheduling were predictors of decreased well-being, while having a higher number of medical assistants within the close support team, nurse-centered message writing practices, and a higher proportion of messages related to ambiguous diagnosis were predictors of increased well-being.
