Physician and nurse burnout, job dissatisfaction, and intention to leave the job have increased in recent years, exacerbated by the pandemic. Results of this study of physicians and nurses in six European hospitals show poor work/life balance, high burnout, and high intention to leave.

Individual mental health interventions received the lowest ratings.
