What this trial studies

This observational study compares burnout, safety culture, and workplace violence between clinicians who primarily work in home hospital settings and those in brick-and-mortar hospitals. Researchers will use a one-time online REDCap survey to collect demographic and professional background information and responses to validated burnout and safety instruments. The analysis will focus on differences in burnout scores, perceptions of safety culture, and harassment experiences between the two care settings. Participation is voluntary and anonymous for eligible clinicians. Leading site is Brigham and Women's Hospital, located in Boston, MA.
