Studies suggest that work/home conflict may have a central role in physicians developing burnout.1- 5 In a recent comprehensive evaluation of a wide variety of personal and professional factors hypothesized to contribute to burnout in 7905 American surgeons, 3 factors—hours worked per week, experiencing a work/home conflict within the last 3 weeks, and how the most recent work/home conflict was resolved—were independently associated with burnout.5 To validate the importance of these factors to physician burnout and to explore whether they are relevant to physicians in specialties other than surgery, we assessed their importance in a large sample of internal medicine physicians at an academic center.
