Assessing Burnout Rates and Contributing Factors in Emergency Medical Service Clinicians

Prehospital Care Research Forum Journal Club by Prehospital Care Research Forum

Episode notes

EMS providers are routinely involved in high-stress situations with limited follow-up or healthy coping mechanisms. These experiences can trigger stress responses and burnout in our first-responder community. Despite the widespread conversation about burnout in EMS, limited literature describes the problem. Join us for this month's PCRF Journal Club to review a study that evaluates burnout in EMS using a validated tool.
