burnout syndrome, DP, crippling dependency, fatigue
Burnout occurs when employees are exposed to a stressful work environment with high job demands and low resources (Burnout manifests in three main dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and low personal accomplishment (PA) (Burnout is a global phenomenon, with studies predicting a wide range of prevalence estimates among HCPs in Arab countries (Professional quality of life (PQL) refers to the overall well-being and satisfaction of HCPs with their work. PQL comprises two fundamental dimensions: compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (Prevalence trends for PQL among HCPs in India have not been directly examined, and further research is needed in this regard. Nonetheless, the importance of PQL in healthcare settings and understanding its impact on HCPs cannot be undermined.Burnout and PQL are interlinked. Evidence suggests that self-compassion and resilience are associated with higher PQL, while compassion fatigue and burnout are negatively associated with PQL (The cause of this profound burnout syndrome and the interlinked low PQL among doctors and HCPs can be pin-pointed to prolonged stress due to overwork. However, the factors responsible for this stress accumulation may vary and include a lack of resources, a high patient load, administrative and managerial pressure for profit earning, and crippling dependency upon the hospital, institution, or organization (Mind–body therapies like Yoga and mindfulness, among others, have been recognized as helpful interventions to mitigate the effects of stress and reduce burnout among HCPs (Yoga is becoming increasingly popular in western and European countries (While the effects are evident, Yoga-related studies have identified adherence to intervention as a limiting factor due to a lack of motivation, the effort required in practice, and time constraints (mHealth, or mobile health, refers to the use of mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearable technology for health-related purposes (Since physician health is a burning topic nowadays, especially after the COVID pandemic, global initiatives are being taken at healthcare institutions worldwide to implement evidence-based mind–body interventions for relieving job-related stress among doctors, nurses, and employees. India too is ramping up its use of these tried and tested indigenous tools of stress management in health research (Considering the multi-modal effects of yoga-based interventions (
