Till date there is no definite basis of burn out syndrome. There is vast difference in the bookish knowledge and practicability of this particular so called syndrome or disease. It’s the aftermath of over work, loss of self confidence and reduction in satisfaction. But till now it’s counted as a result of inadequate treatment of chronic stress. In this publication I have tried my level best to explore the current concept of this syndrome which could affect the future and contemporary generations. A variety of factors play into burnout among healthcare professionals, many of which are non-modifiable such as gender, socio-demographic variables, personality, and age [1]; however, the top cited reason for burnout is work overload [2]. When a person works in a high stress field such as healthcare they are exposed to emotionally draining experiences all the time so the added pressure of working while the hospital is understaffed only piles on to that stress. Many studies within hospitals have found a direct link between reducing workload and reduced burnout among healthcare professionals [3] which led to a significant drop in patient deaths [4]. It is impossible to expect for us as healthcare professionals to do the work of two or three people and still give the same quality care to a patient as usual. Burnout only leads to mediocre patient care and a poor work environment, which continue the vicious circle to only cause more burnout. and Medical institutions across the world have attempted to provide both preventive and curative care for healthcare workers who are at risk for experiencing burnout; however, many of these attempts were unsuccessful and do not address the underlying problem: overworked staff. Goal: The goals of this study were: to identify the specific stressors of high intensity in the hospital physicians work environment, to discover whether and how certain stressors can affect the appearance of burnout syndrome at work in a hospital physician, to determine whether certain individual factors influence the occurrence of burnout syndrome at work. Methods and subjects: Study was conducted on medical professionals working at Govt. Medical College, Amritsar. Results: The study comprised 64.8% hospital doctors (specialists and doctors on specialization) of a total 321 employees in various departments. High level of emotional exhaustion was recorded in 45.9% a high level of depersonalization in 54.8 %, and a low level in perceptions of personal accomplishments in 45.2% of respondents. Conclusions: Continuous exposure to stressors at the workplace, such as work at shifts, excessive workload, poor communication with superiors, and lack of continuous education of hospital physicians can lead to mental and physical exhaustion, professional burnout. Socially there was no source to make amendments in the working conditions of the professionals. High-quality controlled studies on burnout syndrome are lacking. A standardized and internationally accepted diagnostic instrument with a validated rating scale should be developed. The etiology and pathogenesis of burnout should be studied with special regard to the possible role of neurobiological factors. Treatments for it should be studied systematically so that their effects can be judged at a high level of evidence. In view of the current lack of knowledge about what is called “burnout,” the term should not be used as a medical diagnosis or as a basis for decisions regarding disability or other socioeconomic matters.
