Around 52% of doctors in Italy and
45% of nurses risk burnout, according to a report released on
Monday by the Enpam Foundation for medical workers and the
Eurispes research agency.
The report said frequently having to work under stress in
understaffed wards and clinics and having to deal with
increasingly aggressive and sometimes violent members of the
public were among the factors.
It said the fact that many medical personnel have little job
security, with lots working on temporary contracts, with
salaries that are 22% lower than those of their colleagues in
many European countries were also issues.
