An additional 42 percent of physicians reported that their happiness has been somewhat impacted, while 16 percent said their happiness is a bit affected. Only 5 percent of physicians report feeling not affected at all. 

Additionally, 8 percent of physicians believe that their biggest cause of burnout in the last year was stress from treating COVID-19 patients.
