Abstract
Burnout in healthcare is an ever-growing problem, especially in the aftermath of the current COVID-19 global pandemic. The effects of burnout are far-reaching with significant impact to both patients and healthcare professionals, calling into question the viability of certain professions and teetering healthcare systems globally. Current measures are inadequate for the pressures faced of many healthcare systems and its professionals experiencing burnout—this has only been further exacerbated by the pandemic. A shift needs to occur in both reframing the problem and solution through a systems theory lens, integrating a relational model of burnout. This is in part because healthcare is conducted via interprofessional teams working in hierarchical structures and in coordination to provide high quality, empathetic care to patients. This capstone thesis will aim to conceptualize both the problem and solution through a holistic systems theory lens via a relational family systems model towards the aim of a contemporary path forward in addressing burnout in healthcare.
