Description: An overview of systematic reviews and meta-analyses will be carried out. Systematic reviews with or without meta-analyses assessing the relationship between burnout in physicians and quality of care will be included. The primary outcome will be patient safety (i.e., the occurrence of any adverse event related to healthcare which could have resulted, or did result, in unnecessary harm to patients). Secondary outcomes will be patient satisfaction and professionalism. Literature searches will be conducted (from their inception onwards) in: PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.
