The association of burnout with occupational stressors among physicians and medical technicians/nurses in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina: a cross-sectional study.

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
aimTo assess the prevalence of burnout syndrome and its association with occupational stressors among physicians and medical technicians/nurses in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (FBiH).
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted between February 12 and April 12, 2025, using an anonymous online survey. Structured self-administered questionnaire scales were used to assess burnout (Copenhagen Burnout Inventory) and workplace stressors (Occupational Stress Questionnaire). The association of personal, work-related, and patient-related burnout with occupational stressors was assessed. The survey was sent to the members of the Union of Physicians and Dentists in the FBIH, who were asked to forward the link to their medical technicians and nurses.
resultsOverall burnout symptoms were reported by more than half of the respondents (53.0%), with 75.7% experiencing at least one form of burnout. Personal burnout was the most prevalent (70.9%), followed by work-related burnout (54.2%) and patient-related burnout (40.1%). In multiple regression analysis, overall burnout was driven by the cumulative impact of multiple stressors rather than by any single factor. All stressors were positively correlated with burnout, but conflicts and communication at work (for personal and work burnout) and public criticism (for patient-related burnout) stood out as the strongest predictors.
conclusionThis study observed a high prevalence of burnout among physicians and medical technicians/nurses in the FBiH. All examined domains of professional stressors were correlated with all burnout dimensions. Given the importance of preventing and alleviating burnout among health care professionals, this research provides insight into key factors contributing to burnout.
