Abstract
Burnout is a syndrome recognized as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and decreased personal achievement. In hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), there are critically ill patients. Peri- and post-transplantation complications may have a long trajectory with possible increased mortality. The curative intent behind an HSCT can lead to prolonged hospitalization, significantly contributing to the stress and burnout of the healthcare providers. There are organizational and individual factors that contribute to burnout. The prevalence varies among different healthcare provider groups but has increased nationally across specialties and practice settings. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted data on provider burnout and brought more attention from the public. In addition, specific interventions have been identified at the organizational and individual levels focused on improving provider well-being. However, more information must be obtained on implementing additional interventions and building resilience to retain providers to continue providing quality care to patients.
