Keyword: Burnout

Abstract: This study examined psychological mechanisms linking burnout to compassion among emergency department physicians (N = 157). Analyses revealed that the quiet ego mediated relationships between all burnout dimensions and compassion. Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization reduced compassion through decreased quiet ego, while personal accomplishment enhanced compassion through increased quiet ego.
