Burnout in Medical Workers : The life of medical workers in Sweden and the impact that their burnout has on society: A qualitative study

AIM This research attempts to understand the life of the medical professionals who play a pivotal role in the Swedish healthcare system. The main aim is to assess their burnout rates and workplace environment for understanding its direct or indirect effect on their performance and society. This research also includes suggestions and ideas for improvement and solutions to certain recurring problems that were highlighted by the professionals themselves during the research questionnaire. METHOD Questionnaire responses and the qualitative method of analysis are used for this study. Proper ethics for conducting a research questionnaire were followed. The demographic questionnaires took place with the help of google forms online, where doctors and medical professionals from different parts of Sweden who were willing to volunteer participated with full consent and were given the option to only answer questions that they were most comfortable with answering.RESULTSPromising results were established after the questionnaire, where the volunteering doctors were more than willing to express their working conditions, positive outcomes, and drawbacks. The final results can be divided into the following themes: work schedule, staff shortage, transport, session limitations, personal life, stress, self-accomplishment, job satisfaction, patient-care and areas of improvement. CONCLUSION This research’s findings show that there is a correlation between burnout rates and the performance of healthcare professionals, which in turn has a minor and indirect effect on society
