A study presented at the 2020 virtual annual meeting of the American Society for the Surgery of Trauma showed that 57% of trauma surgeons are dissatisfied with their work-life balance, leading to a high rate of burnout. Factors such as having hobbies, a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and taking vacation time off were associated with better work-life balance. Trauma surgeons need to prioritize a healthier lifestyle and institutions should enforce policies that benefit surgical teams. Fair compensation was also linked to a satisfying work-life balance. Further studies will analyze age and sex-related variables associated with work-life balance.
