Burnout in Critical Care
People are at the heart of Critical Care Services.
To increase the understanding of burnout and team cohesiveness within Ontario’s critical care system, CCSO administers an annual Burnout and Assessment of Team Cohesiveness (ACE-15) Survey to critical care units. Through this survey, critical care team members are asked to complete the 1-Measure Burnout Survey to capture the ongoing impact of the pandemic recovery, as well as other Health Human Resource (HHR) factors contributing to burnout. In addition, staff are asked to complete the ACE-15 survey, which collects data on the perception of “teamness”. This survey is an important element informing CCSO’s HHR Strategy. The noted trends and results therein also support the evaluation of implemented initiatives and inform system-level policy investment and planning to contribute to improving the well-being of critical care staff.
