Influence of burnout on attitudes of ICU doctors and nurses towards liberalization of visiting polices

The staff working in the ICU have a complex and stressful job and are at risk of burnout [1].

We investigated this issue in the course of a survey about the impact on ICU staff of liberalization of visiting policies.
