Can early life patterns predict burnout in healthcare heroes?
NCT ID NCT06104202
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares early maladaptive schemas—deep-seated negative patterns from childhood—in healthcare professionals with burnout, healthcare professionals without burnout, and non-healthcare workers with burnout. By analyzing questionnaire scores, researchers aim to identify markers of vulnerability and potential targets for therapy. The study involves 273 participants aged 18 and older.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify psychological patterns that make healthcare workers vulnerable to burnout, pointing toward more targeted therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct interventions, and results may not apply to all burnout cases.
