Abstract
Burnout is a major problem in health care and is associated with adverse sequelae for patients, healthcare workers, and organizations. Burnout among respiratory therapists (RTs) is as high as 79% and is associated with poor or ineffective leadership, inadequate staffing, high workload, non-leadership position, and work environment. An understanding of burnout is necessary for both staff and leadership to ensure RT wellbeing.
