Workplace Stress and Burnout

Moral injury was described as emotional distress caused by system inefficiencies, resource shortages, or structural failures preventing appropriate care. Administrative tasks reduced physicians' ability to provide high-quality patient care and increased stress. Participants connected well-being to long-term career viability and whether they would remain in academic medicine. Increasing clinical demands harmed health and increased recovery needs. Shortages and turnover among ancillary staff increased physician workload and affected well-being.
