TITLE OF PRESENTATION: THE IMPACT OF BURNOUT ON PATIENT CARE AND SAFETY: A STUDY ON HEALTHCARE TEAM BURNOUT IN DUBAI SID:2324289 Date of Presentation:07-December-2023.

[Audio] Around the world, healthcare team burnout has emerged as a critical concern that adversely impacts individual well-being as well as the effectiveness of a healthcare system. Several factors related to healthcare team burnout, such as psychological and physical overload of health professionals, failed organizational processes, and ineffective teamwork, can compromise patient care and patient safety. Therefore, burnout is considered to be a major threat to patient safety as depersonalization often results in poorer patient interactions. On the other hand, burnout among clinicians is more likely to cause lower patient safety and faulty or substandard patient care at work. Therefore, it has become essential to implement effective measures to reduce the burnout rate among healthcare professionals by improving their mental and emotional well-being..

[Audio] A comprehensive study is required to analyse and evaluate the nuanced relationship between burnout of healthcare professionals and patient safety. Moreover, detailed research is also needed in this context to evaluate the specific impacts of healthcare team burnout on patient care and patient safety..

[Audio] In order to pursue the study, peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2018 and 2023 will be searched through MEDLINE, PubMed, and Web of Science. Keywords include healthcare team, burnout, patient care, and patient safety. All non-peer-reviewed and outdated journal articles will be excluded..

[Audio] The theme has been developed to investigate the impact of healthcare team burnout on patient care and patient safety outcomes. It is evident from various sources that key predictors of burnout include organizational culture, self-efficacy, and professional fulfillment. In existing sources, however, there is limited research on key mechanisms through which burnout of healthcare professionals influences patient care and patient safety outcomes..

[Audio] It is evident from various sources that healthcare team burnout serves as a critical occupational hazard that impacts nurses, caregivers, medical professionals, organizations, patients, and society, at large. A negative association between healthcare professional burnout, patient safety, and organizational outcomes has been identified in the existing literature. Undoubtedly, healthcare team burnout impacts the quality of care, patient safety, and patient experiences adversely while reducing practitioner productivity and hampering organizational commitment. Therefore, it is important to assess a broader perspective by considering it as a critical organizational phenomenon instead of an individual issue..

[Audio] In the healthcare industry, strategic implementation of an effective support system at an organizational level can promote the mental and emotional well-being of healthcare professionals. Such initiatives, therefore, help reduce emotional exhaustion and burnout to a certain level. Moreover, implementing such a support system can enhance compassion satisfaction among healthcare professionals. As a result, they can perform in a more productive and efficient manner..

[Audio] A mentally and emotionally stable healthcare team can provide better care and safety assurance to patients. Therefore, it is important to implement suitable preventive measures and interventions in terms of reducing burnout among nurses, caregivers, physicians, and other medical professionals as it results in the improvement of service quality in healthcare organizations..

[Audio] Primarily, the research will investigate the impact of healthcare team burnout on the care and safety of patients. In this context, the study will also investigate the associations between healthcare professional burnout, patient safety, and organizational outcomes. Considering these aspects, the research question has been developed. In order to frame the question, the PEO framework has been used. This particular framework has been considered here as it is useful in investigating the likelihood of developing a particular condition as an outcome of a pre-existing exposure..

[Audio] Following this particular methodology will help the researcher to get accuracy and objectivity as only a few variables are included in quantitative research. On the other hand, this particular methodology will be followed to remove research biases and fetch more accurate findings. In addition, the research will follow a primary quantitative methodology to obtain a larger sample size easily. In addition, following this particular methodology will allow the researcher to gather relevant and up-to-date data. Therefore, the researcher could reveal accurate trends related to the given topic in a convincing manner..

[Audio] In order to investigate the impact of healthcare team burnout on the care and safety of patients, the researcher will follow a Positivist research philosophy. Here, this particular philosophy will be followed by the researcher to answer the research question in a convincing and well-defined manner. In terms of the research approach, the researcher will follow the Deductive one. A deductive approach will be followed by the researcher to test the research hypothesis based on data collection and data analysis. On the other hand, a Descriptive design will be followed by the researcher to control dependent and independent research variables..

[Audio] The researcher will use a well-structured survey questionnaire as the data collection tool. The questionnaire will contain 15 close-ended questions related to the participants' demography and research topic. The Likert Scale will be used to measure the opinions of research participants. The research participant will provide numeric data, hence enabling the researcher to measure and analyze those data statistically. In order to develop the research sample, a simple random sampling technique will be followed by the researcher. The researcher will use this particular probability sampling technique due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and reliability..

[Audio] A quantitative data analysis will be conducted by the researcher to analyse the numeric data collected through an online survey. Here, the researcher will conduct a Descriptive Statistics Analysis to get a transparent and comprehensive summary of the collected data. Moreover, the researcher will also follow the data analysis technique to organize the collected data and present the outcomes in a structured way. In addition, considering this data analysis technique will help the researcher answer the research question in the most appropriate manner..

[Audio] In terms of this research, obtaining cooperation from healthcare professionals will be a major limitation due to their busy schedules and exhausting lifestyles. Other potential barriers to this study might be associated with the management of research variations, comparing the survey outcomes with the existing body of knowledge, and identification of potential biases in the collected survey response..

[Audio] The research on the impact of healthcare team burnout on the care and safety of patients will have significant impacts on different domains. In terms of practical practice, the research findings will inform existing strategies of healthcare organizations, hence allowing them to implement more effective health management strategies for their employees. Undoubtedly, the study will also guide future scholars and researchers by adding significantly to the existing body of knowledge. On the other hand, the research outcomes integrate burnout awareness and related knowledge into the current curriculum of healthcare education, hence encouraging healthcare professionals to be more proficient in their profession..
