  • 1. The University of Newcastle, Newcastle, NSW, 2308 (Australia)

Description

Burnout is seen as an occupational phenomenon related to workplace stress. Professional groups within medical imaging and radiation science have been reported to suffer from burnout in the past, however research into the profession has been limited. This systematic review aims to evaluate literature measuring levels and prevalence of burnout in the professional groups within medical imaging and radiation science (MIRS). These being radiographers (radiological technologists), sonographers, radiation therapists (therapeutic radiographers) and nuclear medicine technologists.
