Show Notes
By Jacqueline Posada, MDIntroduction
Suicide in general population increased by 30% since 1999. The suicide rate was 14 people in every 100,000 up from 10.5 people per 100,000 in 1999. 400 physicians die per year. However, there is not great data collection about profession-specific suicide Suicide is the leading cause of death in male residents and the 2nd leading cause of death in female residents This represents a serious loss of the medical profession as well as the thousands of patients who lose their physician as wellRisks factors for physician suicide
Psychological:
Physicians tend be contentious, perfectionistic, and compulsive. They are able to cope with delayed gratification, and this may lead to a false sense of ability to cope with all obstacles, without failures. Medicine presents physicians with many obstacles such as the deaths of our patients and human frailty. Human imperfection and physician failures are juxtaposed against these traits listed aboveHistorical and genetic risk factors:
Past suicide attempt and presence of mood disorder Untreated depression is an especially high risk for physicians as they may leave their mental illness untreated due to stigma As of 2017, 32 of 48 state licensing boards continue to question doctors about their mental health history. There is increased risk of suicide with the presence of the long arm version of the serotonin transporter gene and history of childhood traumaWorkplace risk factors:
Physicians identify electronic medical records (EMR) and increased documentation demands as contributing to burnout and less job satisfaction EMR means that doctors feel like they spend more time with records than face to face with patients. With EMR there is less eye contact and direct connection with patients so it’s hard to foster relationships Physicians feel the stress of increased use of technology and connectivity via cell phones and the need to “keep up”Change in culture
As a profession we are starting to talk about physician suicide; acknowledgment of the issue can lead to change. ACGME and other workplaces are starting to integrate physician wellness into curriculums and culture.References:

Physician burnout and effective interventions
The scales (for example, the Maslach Burnout Inventory) do not necessarily represent the full extent of burnout: If physicians work 12 hours but find fulfillment in work, they will be tired but not necessarily burned out. However, if physicians work 12 hours a day feeling frustrated by the systemic problems, then burnout can ensue. Common contributors to provider burnout: Excessive workload: Pressures of working with an electronic medical record, extensive time spent on documentation; lack of work satisfaction and job control; lack of respect for the work; and student loan burden. “Moral injury”: The emotional burden that occurs when physicians cannot deliver ideal care/treatment to patients, especially when limited by resources (such as insurance or poverty), or other systemic health care issues. Work environment and organizational culture: These factors also contribute to physician burnout.Burnout is a problem for health care organizations as a whole
Two main ways to address burnout: physician-directed interventions (focused on individuals) and organization-directed interventions. Organization-directed burnout prevention strategies include: Reducing workload; reducing time spent on documentation, such as decreasing time spent in front of EMRs; cultivating effective teamwork; fostering a sense of job control. Organizations prefer individual-focused interventions over systemic changes: Examples include mindfulness teaching, yoga, cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques, education about burnout, and education. Individual-focused interventions are great, but they are not realistic for changing the culture that contributes to burnout.Interventions for burnout
In a systematic review and meta-analysis in JAMA Internal Medicine, Maria Panagioti, PhD, and colleagues found that:
Burnout interventions focused on individual physicians have small, significant effect on physician burnout. Organizational-directed approaches result in greater treatment effects, especially when interventions focus on promoting healthy individual/organization relationships. The impact of individual interventions can be improved when supported by organizational interventions. Interventions targeted at more experienced physicians within primary care settings show greater treatment effect than interventions targeted at less experienced physicians within secondary treatment settings.Approaches identified by staff can lead to meaningful change, as outlined by in a New England Journal of Medicine article by Melinda Ashton, MD.
A Hawaiian health care system queried individuals (physicians and mid-level and nursing staff) to identify which parts of EMR documentation were poorly designed, unnecessary, and could lead to unintended burdens contributing to burnout. This type of survey improves the efficiency of a system and illustrates that the health care organization cares about preventing clinician burnout.References
