Table 5.
Reactions to receiving burnout feedback, differences by baseline emotional exhaustion levels, and emotional exhaustion improvers vs decliners. Responses were on a 1 (disagree strongly) to 5 (agree strongly) scale.
| Burnout feedback item | Severe baseline EEa (n=64): those who agreed slightly or strongly, n (%) | Moderate baseline EE (n=515): those who agreed slightly or strongly, n (%) | Mild baseline EE (n=472): those who agreed slightly or strongly, n (%) | No baseline EE (n=473): those who agreed slightly or strongly, n (%) | Concerning EE (n=579) vs no EE (n=473) | EE improvers (n=173) vs decliners (n=62) | ||||

aEE: emotional exhaustion.
bM1: mean numerical response on a 5-point scale for the concerning EE group (moderate and severe EE) at baseline group.
cM2: mean numerical response on a 5-point scale for the no EE at baseline group.
