Family physicians were given a list of stressors and were asked to rate how important they were as a cause of burnout on a scale of 1 to 7, where 1 = "not at all important" and 7 = "extremely important," Topping the list with ratings of 5 or greater were factors that suggested an excessive workload and loss of control over the profession, without adequate compensation: "too many bureaucratic tasks and "spending too many hours at work." These were followed by "feeling like a cog in a wheel" and "income not high enough." Patient issues also scored over 4, with "too many difficult patients" as the fifth stressor. The least important stressors were those that involved relationships with colleagues and employers. It is clear that external stressors play the major role in physician burnout. In a Medscape Primary Care roundtable discussion, Roy Poses, MD, of Brown University said, "Most interventions meant to improve burnout have treated it like a psychiatric illness, not a rational response to a badly led, dysfunctional healthcare system."[3] Burnout je racionalni odgovor na loše vođen,disfunkcionalni zdravstveni sustav.

A higher percentage of female than male family physicians reported burnout (60% vs 52%), which may be attributed to the fact that women tend to enter generalist professions (family medicine and internal medicine) rather than the lower-stress subspecialties. Women may also have more conflicts between work and home, particularly if they have children.
