Physician Relat Update. 1998 Aug;7(8):94-6.
Physicians are under increasing pressure to see more patients, take on more management responsibilities, and still provide the best care. That is leading to a variety of problems--everything from general malaise and burnout to early retirement and unionization. Stressed-out physicians can have a disastrous effect on the bottom line of practices. Productivity drops, staff become demoralized, turnover increases, and patients become less satisfied with the care they receive--both from the physician and support staff. There are clear warning signs of physicians under too much pressure. There are also some simple steps a practice can take to minimize the occurrence of burnout and deal with it effectively when it occurs.
医生面临着越来越大的压力，要诊治更多的病人，承担更多的管理职责，同时还要提供最佳的医疗服务。这导致了各种各样的问题——从普遍的不适和职业倦怠到提前退休和组建工会。压力过大的医生会对医疗机构的财务状况产生灾难性影响。生产力下降，员工士气低落，人员流动增加，患者对他们从医生和辅助人员那里获得的护理满意度降低。医生压力过大有明显的警示信号。医疗机构也可以采取一些简单的措施来尽量减少职业倦怠的发生，并在其发生时有效地应对。
