Wijeratne C, Johnco C, Draper B, et al. - Researchers examined changes in psychological morbidity over the career cycle of physicians by comparing the levels of general psychological distress, burnout, alcohol use, and workplace stressors between older physicians and younger colleagues. There were 10,038 physicians who responded to this survey. Relative to younger and middle aged colleagues, older physicians described significantly less psychological distress, burnout, and suicidal ideation, but not alcohol use. In addition, older physicians were least likely to describe all work-related stressors as “very stressful.” Better psychological health among older physicians emphasizes the necessity of accounting for age and career stage when evaluating physician health. It is possible a survivor effect may be impacting results, such that physicians who practice into older age have generated a greater resilience and professional maturation, aside from the decline in work stressors, especially work-life conflict.
