ABSTRACT
Burnout research-whether in the context of HIV/AIDS or in other fields of health care-has some notable limitations. While all research has limitations, not least when enquiry associated with relatively new concepts and constructs is ploughing the virgin fields of empiricism, it is useful to be aware of what can be done to improve the quality of data. This will hopefully lead to more relevant information for management and prevention of burnout in HIV/AIDS, and in other fields of health care. Accordingly, this brief review will highlight some of the suggestions that have emerged from research and commentaries to date.
