Providers and staff of Ryan White-funded HIV clinics (RWCs) may be particularly prone to burnout, due to complex patient needs, sizeable reporting requirements, and limited staffing and resources. We aimed to understand characteristics which contribute to and alleviate burnout at RWCs across the southeastern United States. Through a qualitative study, we conducted 20 in-depth interviews with providers, staff, and administrators of academically affiliated RWCs in the southeastern United States to explore factors impacting burnout. Participants perceived the following factors contributing to burnout: high workload, high provider involvement in patients' lives, feelings of inadequacy in providing effective care, inequitable distribution of responsibilities and opportunities, work within ineffective bureaucratic systems, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants perceived the following factors as alleviating burnout: a sense of comradery and feeling valued, team social activities, capacity to provide effective comprehensive care, flexible work schedules and environments, flexible enforcement of performance metrics, witness of patient resiliency, and personal factors. Findings enhance understanding of drivers of burnout within academically affiliated RWCs and inform future burnout prevention interventions.</p>","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"41 1","pages":"281-299"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12948300/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147327759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A survey of 173 firefighters who had participated in an OOR in the previous 6 months was used to assess exposure to PTEs during such events, job stress, mental health symptoms, and resources used to address mental health symptoms. Most firefighters (97%) reported experiencing one or more PTEs while responding to an opioid overdose in the past 6 months. Associations between PTEs and mental health are reported. For example, there was a higher prevalence of high job stress (22.7% vs. 5.3%, <i>p</i> = 0.014) and meeting the screening definition of PTSD (15.4% vs. 1.9%, <i>p</i> = 0.047), depression (33.1% vs. 6.1%, <i>p</i> = 0.022), and anxiety (33.1% vs. 6.1%, <i>p</i> = 0.022) among those who experienced a needlestick injury during an OOR than those who did not experience a needlestick injury during an OOR. Seeking social support is recommended following PTEs; mental health care should be sought when symptoms interfere with personal, social, or occupational functioning. This survey identified important firefighter mental health characteristics which will assist fire departments in determining the appropriate mental health training, support, and services.</p>","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"40 3","pages":"415-432"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12416402/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145030879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
