Active clinical trials for "Burnout, Psychological"

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness and safety of the theanine formulation on stress, burnout, mood, and sleep in male and female subjects who are generally healthy

The prevalence of burnout symptoms among physicians is high, especially for acute care physicians. Physician burn out is a long-term stress reaction marked by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a lack of sense of personal accomplishment. The healthcare environment, due to its demanding pace and emotional intensity, puts physicians at high risk for burnout.

Stress is underpinned by a biological reaction of the organism allowing the production of energy to respond to a change in the environment (or stressor). Stress reaction is expressed in behavioural, cognitive, emotional and physiological terms. This biological response is non-specific because it is the same regardless of the stressor. Its evolution over time has been conceptualised by Hans Selye (1956) in the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) which comprises three successive phases. (i) The first phase, known as the alarm phase, corresponds to the activation of all biological mechanisms according to a trend regulation, allowing a rapid response to the stressor. (ii) The second phase of resistance which adjusts the stress response to the intensity of the perceived aggression according to a constant regulation. (iii) When the aggression disappears, a recovery phase dominated by the return of the parasympathetic brake allows a return to homeostasis (eustress). The "primum movens" of all pathologies is therefore the inability of the individual to adapt his stress response in duration and/or intensity to the course of the phases of the GAS (distress). The perception of not being in control of the situation contributes to the perceived stress and constitutes a well-established risk of distress. It is a risk factor for the emergence of burnout. It induces a biological cost called allostatic cost. Allostasis is a concept that characterizes the process of restoring homeostasis in the presence of a physiological challenge. The term "allostasis" means "achieving stability through change", and refers in part to the process of increasing sympathetic activity and corticotropic axis to promote adaptation and restore homeostasis. Allostasis works well when allostasis systems are initiated when needed and turned off when they are no longer required. Restoring homeostasis involves effective functioning of the parasympathetic system. However, when the allostasis systems remain active, such as during chronic stress, they can cause tissue burnout and accelerate pathophysiological processes. The perception of uncontrollability depends on the stress situation, the psychological and physiological characteristics of the subject and his or her technical skills in responding to the stressors of the situation. In particular, subjects with a high level of mindfulness are more accepting of uncontrollability and less likely to activate the stress response. The COVID-19 pandemic situation is a situation characterized by many uncertainties about the individual, family and work environment and the risk of COVID infection. Healthcare workers, like the military, are high-risk occupations that are particularly exposed to these uncertainties in the course of their work and continue to work in an uncertain situation. These professionals are described as a population at risk of occupational/operational burnout that the level of burnout operationalises. This ancillary study in a population of civilian and military non-healthcare workers will complement the study conducted among military health care workers. It will make it possible to isolate the specificity of each profession (civilian or military, healthcare personnel or not) with regard to the risk of burnout in the COVID context. The objective of this project is to evaluate the impact of the perception of non-control in the operational burnout of experts in their field of practice and to study the psychological and physiological mechanisms mediating the relationship between the subject's characteristics, perceived non-control and burnout.

Burnout Syndrome is a medical condition caused by long-term job-related strain and is defined by presence of either one or more of the three states i.e. emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment. Burnout has been shown to cause decreased work output and mental well being of employees and increase errors at workplace. Burnout is observed in various lines of work and but has been found to be especially high among healthcare professionals. Diabetes Mellitus is a generally a life-long condition and diabetes specialists deal with patients of this chronic condition frequently. The burnout among diabetes specialist trainees in United Kingdom was found to be over 50% in a study done in pre-pandemic times in 2018 and there is a need to repeat this study to see if there any change in terms of presence of burnout in this group of health care professionals.

The purpose of this study is to develop a technology to predict burnout in RNs by measuring workplace, psychological, and physiological factors experienced by nurses.

Surveys including a demographic chart, the Clance Impostor phenomenon scale (CIPS) and the Malash burnout inventory for medical personnel (MBI-HSS-MP) will be sent to residents and chief-residents in anesthesiology in Latin Switzerland (VD, VS, GE, Ti). A qualitative study will then explore the experiences and coping strategies of self-doubt and impostor syndrome of junior resident anesthesiologists working at Geneva University Hospital, during their transition from mandatory training in internal medicine to anesthesiology.

The goal of this observational study is to monitor the floatation experience and continue the program as long as deemed important. The main question it aims to answer is: will inventory wellbeing scores increase according to the number of floatation sessions accrued? Nurses (registered, practitioner, and anesthetist) and physicians, employed at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Trauma Center, Mercy Health, will be welcomed to participate in the floatation experience. Participants will be given an option to complete the Wellbeing Inventory survey prior to each floatation session.

The study investigates the associations of ambulatory electrodermal activity (EDA) measurements with mental well-being at work, especially job burnout. Appropriate statistical methods are applied to predict burnout with EDA measurements combined with self-report surveys on emotional valence.

Burnout Syndrome (BOS) can be defined as a state of stress both physically and psychically due to the burden and stressor of high work. The prevalence of BOS in health workers varies between 25-75% globally. Studies have shown that the presence of Burnout syndrome will meaningfully reduce the quality of services related to patient safety and cause immune system disorders that act as the body's defense against viral, bacterial, protozoal and fungal infections. Many strategies have been researched to help prevent and reduce the occurrence of Burnout syndrome, one of which is music therapy. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of music therapy on the immune response in health workers with Burnout Syndrome. This study is a randomized clinical trial with a pre and post test control group design for health workers at Dr Kariadi General Hospital and Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital. Subjects will be provided with information prior to the study and asked to sign an informed consent sheet if they agree to be involved in the study. Subjects will be divided into control groups and treatment groups with matching age, gender and type of work. In the treatment group, music therapy will be given as much as 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Data were taken on both groups before and after the intervention. This study used the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Service Survey (MBI-HSS) and blood laboratory examination to determine the value of the Neutrophyl Lymphocyte Ratio, Interleukin 6 and Interleukin 10 levels.

Older people with multimorbidity are frequent users of health care services, and there is a relationship between the number of chronic conditions and health care costs. In addition, multimorbidity increases the risk of mortality and functional decline, and this negatively impacts health-related quality of life . Furthermore, research tends to focus on individual organ systems, often ignoring the complexity of care for older people with multimorbidity. Moreover, patient QoL is a meaningful measure in the evaluation of health care services and patient-reported outcome Caregiving demands significantly reduce caregivers' opportunities to have a lifestyle in which leisure or time for themselves is available. According to different empirically supported theoretical frameworks that point to the importance for caregivers of experiencing pleasant events and receiving positive reinforcement in their daily lives in order to maintain a positive mood, not engaging in personally satisfying activities may result in more social withdrawal and depression, putting caregivers at risk of developing emotional disorders.
