“…[14][15][16][17][18] As many of these interventions were single events, many studies may not have been able to use the MBI, as it best assesses the longitudinal development of burnout as noted by Patel et al 19 The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 20 was utilized as a measure of burnout in 1 study. 21 In the qualitative domain, He et al 22 surveyed 65 medical students who engaged in visual thinking strategy at their nearby art museum.

Burnout in the medical workforce is a growing global concern. Visual arts–based interventions can be a novel way to mitigate burnout and bolster resilience in medicine. Improving tolerance of ambiguity and uncertainty has been associated with decreased rates of burnout in clinicians. No known systematic review exists summarizing the evidence behind the use of visual arts–based interventions to mitigate burnout in clinicians. The authors conducted a systematic literature review of PubMed, EMBASE, and CINAHL in November 2022 using the terms: art, medicine, burnout, and uncertainty. The authors review the evidence for the effects of visual arts–based interventions on clinician burnout. The search identified 58 articles, of which 26 met study inclusion criteria and were assessed by 2 reviewers. These studies reported mixed methods assessments of changes in burnout, empathy, and stress. Overall, visual arts–based interventions promoted empathy, connectedness, and tolerance of ambiguity and had positive effects on burnout; however, some results were mixed. Visual arts–based interventions to mitigate burnout show promise, and additional research should focus on feasibility and longer-term outcomes.
