Objectives. To study the impact of burnout syndrome in surgeons on the quality of surgical services to patients in Eastern European countries. Material and methods. A secondary epidemiological study was conducted. Information from primary analytical studies was synthesized and analysed. Scientific articles (no. 17) were selected from international databases, applying the search by keywords: "surgeon", "working conditions", "burnout", and "quality of surgical care". Results. Burnout syndrome among healthcare providers can have a negative impact on the quality of patient care, including surgical care. When healthcare providers experience burnout, they may be more likely to make errors, have difficulty communicating with colleagues and patients, and experience decreased job satisfaction and motivation. Several studies have investigated the association between burnout among surgical providers and the quality of surgical care. Burnout was associated with a higher risk of self-reported medical errors and suboptimal patient care. Also, it was associated with lower patient satisfaction scores and increased rates of postoperative complications. Overall, the quality of surgical care in burnout syndrome settings may be compromised, as healthcare providers experiencing burnout may have decreased cognitive function, communication skills, and motivation to perform their duties. It is essential for healthcare organizations to address burnout and promote wellness among their providers to ensure high-quality patient care. To improve patient safety, healthcare organizations can identify areas for improvement and implement strategies to enhance patient safety. Burnout is a significant problem in healthcare, with potentially negative consequences for providers' mental health, job satisfaction, and retention. Studying burnout in surgeons can help identify risk factors and protective factors, which can inform interventions to promote provider well-being. Burnout can have significant costs for healthcare organizations, including decreased productivity, increased turnover, and lower patient satisfaction. By studying the relationship between burnout and surgical quality, healthcare organizations can identify strategies to enhance organizational performance and improve patient outcomes. Conclusions. Overall, studying the quality of surgical services and the burnout syndrome in surgeons is critical for ensuring high-quality patient care, promoting provider well-being, and enhancing organizational performance.
