Active clinical trials for "Occupational Stress"

The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between the resilience of anesthesia professionals and the stress measured during a simulation session.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has particularly impacted Ecuador. By May 31, 2021, 426,000 cases (10% of health professionals) and 20,572 deaths. Care procedures, organization and priorities have been altered, if not broken. The quality and safety of COVID19 and non-COVID19 patients have been compromised. Compassion fatigue, post-traumatic stress and moral damage reactions have been observed among healthcare professionals, considered second victims of SARS-CoV-2. Without professionals who feel supported and morally strong, care will be compromised, leading to greater uncertainty and insecurity in the care of COVID19 and non-COVID19 patients. In coordination with local authorities, this project seeks to strengthen the resilience of public institutions and healthcare professionals to implement. In coordination with local authorities, this project seeks to strengthen the resilience of public institutions and health professionals to implement proven interventions and scale them up to the whole health system to strengthen it after the impact of the COVID19 pandemic. This proposal is aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 3, which includes different targets to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all ages. Health emergencies, such as the one resulting from COVID-19, pose a global risk and have shown that preparedness is vital. Improving the Quality of the National Health Services and strengthening the health system in preparedness and response to health emergencies are the main priority lines of action in this project, thus aligning with SDG target 3.8 concerning strengthening health professional morale since to save lives, countries' public health systems must be strengthened. Previous work with the local partner supports the good performance and development of this proposal, which arose from a need based on the need to This proposal arose from a need based on the lessons learned in Spain.

This study will focus on the relationship between pillow and mattress factors, musculoskeletal disorders and sleep quality in office workers. Sleep is vital to physical and mental health, and poor sleep can negatively affect cognitive function and workplace performance. Office workers, who often work in sedentary jobs, are particularly prone to sleep disorders. Recognizing the factors that contribute to poor sleep in this population is crucial for developing interventions to improve sleep quality. The study used a cross-sectional design and will collect data from an appropriate sample of office workers (Approximately 600 participants). Various variables will be assessed, including sociodemographic characteristics, sleep-related factors (to be measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), pillow characteristics, mattress-related factors, musculoskeletal symptoms, and physical activity levels (to be measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire). Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis will be performed to analyze the data and identify factors affecting sleep quality. Fixed fixes for potential confounders and modifiers. The study aims to identify specific components of the sleep environment related to sleep disorders. The findings of this study will contribute to the understanding of how pillow and mattress factors, along with other variables, affect sleep quality in office workers. The results may provide information for interventions aimed at improving sleep habits, optimizing the sleep environment, and improving overall well-being in this population. As a result, promoting good sleep health among office workers can have positive effects on productivity, safety and overall quality of life.

The emergency department crowding is a worldwide health problem. Overcapacity admissions result in a decrease in health care quality. High job satisfaction, proper working environment, appropriate institutional structuring in government, and sufficient resources of the staff mean the quality of health care. To evaluate the job satisfaction of the personnel works in emergency health care in North Cyprus and contribute to raising the quality of health services to world standards. In this study, job satisfaction of the personnel working in emergency health services in North Cyprus evaluated through a questionnaire made between October 20; November 10, 2016. It consisted of two parts in which sociodemographic characteristics and job satisfaction scale. The job satisfaction scale developed by Güneri (2011) was a 5-point Likert type. It consisted of 7 sub-dimensions: the nature of work, relations with co-workers, vocational training, relationships with supervisors, economic, cultural, social aspect, and capacity of consumables. The scale can have the lowest score of 47 and the highest score of 235. Participants' high scores on the scale indicated high job satisfaction. The participants', 31.82% were in the 36-49 age, 81.06% were women, 75% were married, 82.5% had children, and 42.42% was an undergraduate degree. The majority of the participants were nurses who had been working for more than ten years and 40-50 hours per week. No significant difference found between job satisfaction and sociodemographic characteristics (p>0.05). High school graduates, head nurses, emergency call center staff, working 1-4 years, 40-50 hours per week, and those who received updating training have significantly higher job-satisfaction scores than the other groups (p<0.05). The high job satisfaction of the personnel working in emergency health services is the meaning of high-quality health care. We recommend the inclusion of emergency health services in the existing structure of the Ministry of Health in Northern Cyprus. Also, emergency health care should be provided by paramedics and EMTs (Emergency Medical Technician), decreasing weekly working hours and increasing updating training.

Researchers are trying to determine if individualized professional coaching improves physicians' sense of well-being and job satisfaction.

This trial will be open to all Michigan Medicine Department of Family Medicine faculty, resident, or staff. The intervention will consist of asking participants the "3 Good Things" based on positive psychology theory. Participants will be asked to list three things that went well that day and to consider their role in these outcomes. Pre and post surveys will be completed to evaluate this intervention. At the end of the trial the study team will also select a limited number of entries from participants to share some of the "good things" which people listed. These will be edited to ensure writer anonymity and participants will be informed of this plan in the study introduction.

The main purpose of this study is to understand the impact of lifestyle coaching on the risk of future cardiometabolic disease, workability and self-assessed wellbeing. The data gathered during the study helps in the future to better identify different focus groups for more tailored interventions. The study consists of two main stages: screening and coaching phase. Screening Aava and the pension will recruit 2000 participants for screening from the employer companies. Screening participants are invited to answer a wellbeing questionnaire (Aava Virta questionnaire, Work Ability Index questionnaire) and give blood samples and physiological measurements, including weight, height, waist circumference, neck circumference and blood pressure. All subjects participating in screening will receive the results from wellbeing questionnaire immediately and they receive the results from blood test within few weeks. Of these 2000 screened persons, a total of 300 high-risk (according to ApoB/ApoA1) individuals and 600 medium-risk individuals will be selected to participate in the coaching phase. These participants are randomly split into treatment and control groups, so that eventually 150 high-risk and 300 medium-risk individuals are placed in both groups. Therefore, a total of 900 subjects carry forward to the coaching phase and in 1100 subjects the study ends. All 900 subjects entering coaching phase receive home a Firstbeat Bodyguard 2 device with instructions for performing Firstbeat wellbeing analysis. After the measurement the device is posted back for analysis according to instructions. The results and feedback from this test is received in the end of the study after the coaching phase. Stage 2: Coaching phase Within the coaching groups, participants in the high-risk category and treatment group undergo an individual coaching program. Participants in the medium-risk category undergo a group coaching program with similar aims. Both coaching programs last 10 weeks during which there are 8 almost weekly coaching sessions at the subjects worksite or near vicinity. Both coaching programs aim in reducing cardiometabolic risk factors and improving subjective well-being. The topics of the lifestyle coaching are 1) nutrition, 2) physical activity, 3) sleep and stress and 4) the long-term maintenance of lifestyle changes. The aims and methods in each coaching topic is based on Finnish recommendations on the topic. The coaching sessions include mostly discussions but in the sessions focusing more on physical activity there are also sessions including activity. In the halfway (5 weeks) of coaching phase, a second blood sampling and Aava wellbeing questionnaire are taken from all subjects (both coaching and control groups). In the end of the coaching phase (10 weeks) blood samples, Aava wellbeing questionnaire, Work Ability Index -questionnaire and physiological measurements are taken the last time. At this stage a second Firstbeat analysis is also performed. BBI-15 questionnaire is administered before and after the coaching phase. An open ended questionnaire regarding lifestyle change motivators and experiences before, during and after the coaching phase is administered to all participants. Also, a small subset (20 persons) of subjects takes in interviews to delve more detailed to the experiences during the study. End of coaching phase and study - start of feedback and analysis After the coaching phase has ended and the subjects (coaching and their control groups) have received all the results (wellbeing questionnaire, blood tests and Firstbeat results) for the study and feedback sessions will be held for all. Willing subjects also receive the results from the gene test in form of PRS scores ie. total genetic risk for three areas of health: heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. THL gene results do not identify single gene variants. After this feedback session the study has ended for the subject. After all data in the study has been gathered starts the analysing and reporting phase for the researchers. At this stage the researchers can retrieve data from Aava patient records to analyse the effect of earlier diagnoses and findings. The information retrieved relate to ICD-10 diagnosis codes C00-C97 (malignant neoplasms), E00-E89 (endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases), F00-F99 (mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders), I00-I99 (diseases of the circulatory system) and M00-M99 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue) as these diagnostic codes can be important background factors for biomarkers of CVD and Type 2 diabetes risk and to some of the secondary endpoints like workability.

Although exposure to nature has restorative effects on human health, beneficial effects of nature-based interventions in the working environment have been underexplored. The investigators aim to conduct a randomised controlled pilot study. During workhours one group participates in a nature-based program, the other group is a control group. The investigators test stress-related parameters including cortisol levels, wellbeing and stress, and neurocognition.

Over the last several decades, occupational stress at workplace comprise a major burden. Office based work are more prone to sedentary lifestyle, postural issues, workplace stress, repetitive strain injury, poor employee health. Workplace wellness programs has been very feasible access to employees at their own convenience and need. Yoga@Work Program was developed to suit the need for information technology workers.

Work-related stress is a public health issue. Among the multiple physical and psychological consequences of stress, increased mortality and cardiovascular morbidity seem the main concern. The thermal spa resort of Néris-Les-Bains is one of the five spa resorts in France specialized in the treatment of psychosomatic disorders. Among all these resorts proposing a thermal residential program of three weeks, only one thermal spa resort (Saujon) has a program for occupational burn-out. However, a shorter thermal spa residential program seems more compatible with professional context (availability of individuals), and focusing on work-related stress prevention (before the state of burn-out). The main hypothesis is that a short thermal spa residential program (6 days) of work-related stress prevention will exhibit its efficacy through objective measures of well-being and cardiovascular morbidity.
