Occupational burnout and perceived barriers at work in Polish neurologists

Burnout is highly prevalent among Polish neurologists, driven by both individual vulnerabilities (belonging to a younger age group, depression, insomnia) and organizational stressors (workload, administrative burden). Strengthening professional resources such as self-efficacy and hardiness, enhancing career development opportunities, and reducing bureaucratic workload are essential strategies. Targeted interventions are needed, particularly for early-career neurologists, in order to maintain well-being and ensure sustainable neurological care.
