Employee well-being is a significant predictor of workforce outcomes,<a href=\"#_edn1\" name=\"_ednref1\">[1]<\/a> and clinician burnout has serious impacts on quality of care and patient satisfaction.<a href=\"#_edn2\" name=\"_ednref2\">[2]<\/a> Simply put, we cannot care for others until we care for ourselves, and clinicians cannot stand alone: organizations must support their workforce and foster resilience through a host of approaches, including lifestyle medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The reality of burnout<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Burnout is a fact of life in the healthcare workforce, and mitigating the effects is a crucial factor in staff retention. One in three physicians experience burnout at any given time,<a href=\"#_edn3\" name=\"_ednref3\">[3]<\/a> and the phenomenon affects all healthcare professionals of all disciplines.<a href=\"#_edn4\" name=\"_ednref4\">[4]<\/a> Its effects are diverse. Energy levels can drop as clinicians suffer from exhaustion. Compassion fatigue\u2014the stress and vicarious trauma of caring for others\u2014can set in, resulting in depersonalization or disconnection in care. And lastly, clinicians\u2019 belief in their mission\u2014and their effectiveness itself\u2014can falter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the effects of burnout are many, so are the causes. Organizationally, administrative inefficiencies, unclear expectations, and competing demands can play significant roles in wearing down clinicians\u2019 reserves. On a personal basis, work-life balance, family dynamics, and caretaking obligations as well as time management can also all play a role in burnout. Worse patient safety, decreased efficiency, and turnover can often be the result.<a href=\"#_edn5\" name=\"_ednref5\">[5]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building resilience through organizational commitments to wellness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these challenges, there are very real approaches to foster employee wellness and reduce burnout. At the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clinicians.org\">Association of Clinicians for the Underserved<\/a> (ACU), we often educate institutions in well-being strategies in the understanding that building a stronger workforce begins not with recruitment, but with retention. In our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalworkforcecenter.org\">National Center for Workforce Development &amp; Training<\/a>\u2019s numerous initiatives, we center efforts to advance both organizational and individual resilience and the retention of our workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What we teach is clear: organizations must support clinician well-being through holistic approaches. Fostering an <a href=\"https:\/\/chcworkforce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Resilience-Trauma_Final.pdf\">organizational culture that is trauma-informed<\/a> is critical, as is ensuring employees\u2019 psychological safety. So, too, is a commitment to <a href=\"https:\/\/clinicians.org\/programs\/primary-care-workforce\/star-center\/building-an-inclusive-organization-toolkit\/\">justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion<\/a>. Diverse approaches are necessary to meet the needs of a diverse workforce\u2014from creating flexible workspaces that encourage self-care and work-life balance to fostering lifestyle wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A holistic approach and the role of lifestyle medicine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In its emphasis on whole-person health, lifestyle medicine is a natural component of a holistic approach to employee wellness. Workforce wellness programs have notable effects on fostering positive health behaviors,<a href=\"#_edn6\" name=\"_ednref6\">[6]<\/a> and lifestyle medicine can play a key role in fostering wellness and productivity in employees.<a href=\"#_edn7\" name=\"_ednref7\">[7]<\/a> Similarly, adopting a lifestyle medicine approach in patient care can also benefit professional satisfaction and is associated with lessened burnout.<a href=\"#_edn8\" name=\"_ednref8\">[8]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the burden and the benefits of employee retention lie with the employer, and an ongoing and inclusive commitment to employee wellness is necessary. Lifestyle medicine is a crucial element of these approaches, and ACU is proud to partner with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifestylemedicine.org\">American College of Lifestyle Medicine<\/a> to spotlight its importance. For years, we\u2019ve known the impact that fostering holistic approaches such as lifestyle medicine can make in achieving health equity. There\u2019s no better time than now to recognize the impact it can have on the wellness of our employees as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Research study<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The integration of lifestyle medicine emerges as a promising approach, offering healthcare practitioners a means to prevent and manage burnout, enhance their professional satisfaction, and establish deeper connections with their patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read the full study<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/08901171231182875\">: Lifestyle Medicine Practitioners Implementing a Greater Proportion of Lifestyle Medicine Experience Less Burnout<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Citations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref1\" name=\"_edn1\">[1]<\/a> Sears LE, Shi Y, Coberley CR, &amp; Pope JE. 2013. &#8220;Overall well-being as a predictor of health care, productivity, and retention outcomes in a large employer.\u201d <em>Population Health Management<\/em> 16(6): 397-405.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref2\" name=\"_edn2\">[2]<\/a> June J, Ojemeni, M, et al. 2021. \u201cRelationship between nurse burnout, patient and organizational outcomes: Systematic review.\u201d <em>International Journal of Nursing Studies <\/em>119: 103933.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref3\" name=\"_edn3\">[3]<\/a> De Hert, S. 2020. \u201cBurnout in Healthcare Workers: Prevalence, Impact and Preventative Strategies.\u201d <em>Local Reg Anesth<\/em> 13: 171-183.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"#_ednref4\" name=\"_edn4\">[4]<\/a> Kirzinger, A, Kearney, A, et al. 2021. \u201cKFF\/The Washington Post Frontline Health Care Workers Survey.\u201d KFF.
