Working Conditions in Primary Care: Physician Reactions and Care Quality

Adverse workflow (time pressure and chaotic environments), low work control, and unfavorable organizational culture were strongly associated with low physician satisfaction, high stress, burnout, and intent to leave, and no associations were seen between adverse physician reactions and the quality of patient care.

Abstract

Adverse work conditions are associated with adverse physician reactions, but no consistent associations were found between adverse work conditions and the quality of patient care, and no associations were seen between adverse physician reactions and the quality of patient care.
