title: Health Care Provider Burnout in a United States Military Medical Center During a Period of War.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Provider burnout can impact efficiency, empathy, and medical errors. Our study examines burnout in a military medical center during a period of war.
  
  
  METHODS
  A survey including the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), deployment history, and work variables was distributed to health care providers. MBI subscale means were calculated and associations between variables were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Approximately 60% of 523 respondents were active duty and 34% had deployed. MBI subscale means were 19.99 emotional exhaustion, 4.84 depersonalization, and 40.56 personal accomplishment. Frustration over administrative support was associated with high emotional exhaustion and depersonalization; frustration over life/work balance was associated with high emotional exhaustion.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Levels of burnout in our sample were similar to civilian medical centers. Sources of frustration were related to administrative support and life/work balance. Deployment had no effect on burnout levels.
