The personal and the public in residents' burnout: a cross-sectional investigation.
Article in Israel journal of health policy research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMedical residents are especially prone to burnout. Burnout has historically been viewed as a work-related condition. Burnout also occurs in life domains other than work, such as relationships and parenthood. The present investigation takes a holistic view of resident burnout, considering both public (i.e., work-related) and personal (i.e., couple, parental) burnout. The present investigation examines the interplay between resident burnout in different life domains, their antecedent (i.e., work-family conflict), and outcomes (i.e., job, couple, and parental satisfaction; turnover and breakup intentions).
methodsA pre-registered, cross-sectional study using questionnaires was conducted with 200 residents (M = 34.27 years, SD = 4.18; 63% female) in relationships and with children. We assessed work-related, couple, and parental burnout. The burnout antecedent was work-family conflict. The burnout outcomes included job, couple, and parental satisfaction, as well as turnover and breakup intentions.
resultsAs hypothesized, greater work-related burnout was associated with greater personal burnout. Work-family conflict was associated with higher levels of burnout, both work-related and personal. Higher work-related burnout was associated with lower job satisfaction and higher turnover intentions, showing domain-specificity. Higher couple burnout was associated with lower relationship satisfaction and higher breakup intentions, showing domain-specificity. Greater parental burnout was associated with lower parental satisfaction, as expected. However, this association was not domain-specific, contrary to the prediction: parental satisfaction was associated with all forms of burnout to the same extent (i.e., parental, couple, work-related).
conclusionsThe findings shed light on the less-spoken, personal aspect of resident burnout. Burnout was domain-specific in some life domains (i.e., work, romantic relationship) but also spilled over from one life domain into another (i.e., parenthood). These findings underscore the importance of adopting a holistic bio-psycho-social perspective on residents’ well-being. Resident well-being is not only an individual matter but also a strategic priority for building a resilient, high-performing, and sustainable health workforce.
