Abstract
About 35-54% of nurses and physicians in the U.S. suffer from burnout. Currently, there is a lack of an objective biologic measure of burnout. This study will assess the feasibility of using DNA methylation (DNAm) as a biomarker of healthcare provider burnout and identify work conditions, particularly during a pandemic, that would inform future implementation of targeted strategies to reduce healthcare provider burnout.
