somatization

Right.

The data showed that nurses working under resident leaders suffered significantly less from emotional exhaustion and, crucially, less somatization.

Somatization is the psychological process where severe mental distress manifests as physical illness.

We're talking about chronic headaches, gastrointestinal issues, severe fatigue, and compromised immune systems.

So the nurses working under the dissonant leaders experienced higher rates of physical illness and burnout.
