Active clinical trials for "Occupational Stress"

The main objective of this study is to assess the burnout prevalence among French general practitioners in private practice. As secondary outcomes, this study aim to measure the impact of sociodemographic variables, organizational practice models and workload. the investigators also intend to characterize the prevalence of depression, anxiety, fatigue and stress, drugs and alcohol consumption, use of psychotropic medication, and preferred strategies to cope with their symptoms.

Background and objectives: Recently the news of intern doctors' death due to overloaded work or committing suicide has made the authorities concerned put emphasis on the mental health care of medical staffs and related policies of psychological interventions. The prefrontal lobe plays an important role in the working memory, executive function and problem-solving abilities of the brain. Currently, no neuroimaging studies investigating the impact of job stress on the prefrontal love functions in intern doctors. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) measures the cortical functions of the frontotemporal regions and has been widely used as a biomarker to aid in differential diagnoses in major psychiatric illnesses in Japan. The present study will investigate impact of the job stress on brain cortical activity during a verbal fluency test (VFT) by using fNIRS. Materials and methods: A total of 100 participants will be recruited. Clinical measurements of mood status by Beck's Depression Inventory and Beck's Anxiety Inventory, as well as job stress by Chinese Version of the Job Content Questionnaire and the Chinese version of Copenhagen Burnout Inventory will be arranged. The relationship between clinical measurements and cortical activity during a VFT will be analyzed by Pearson's correlation. Multiple regression analysis will be applied to investigate the independent contributions of mood status and job stress. Expected results and contributions of the study: Job stress, depression, and anxiety are significantly negatively correlated with cortical activity of prefrontal regions. The importance of mental health of medical staffs under high job stress should be stressed.

Ocular trauma are a real public health issue. According to WHO, it is estimates at 750,000 hospital admissions per year in the world for ocular trauma, including 200,000 for open globe injuries in the world. Consequences can be severe with a significant number of definitive low vision or blindness which can lead to professionnal reclassifications for active patients. However, no study exists on professional consequences of those ocular trauma. Some studies showed that fonctionnal loss of an eye can also have psychological consequences such as post traumatic depression or can impair the quality of life but studies are scarce on this subject. The primary objective is to study the professional reclassification of workers at least 6 months after their hospitalization for ocular trauma. Secondary objectives are to assess, at least 6 months after an hospitalized ocular trauma, characteristics of eye injuries, characteristics of patients, mid-term consequences at work after eye injury and on personal aspects.
