Rethinking the distinction between job burnout and depression: the mediating role of stress among healthcare professionals in Ecuador by María Aranzazu Cisneros-Vidal, Mateo Peñaherrera-Aguirre, Silvia L. Vaca-Gallegos, Belén Paladines, Pablo Ruisoto, Pablo Ruisoto, Pablo Ruisoto

From a public health perspective, interventions should target not only individual-level symptoms but also systemic occupational stressors that shape mental health outcomes among healthcare professionals.…”
