Active clinical trials for "Occupational Stress"

Test the acceptability and feasibility of a relaxation room to reduce work stress among clinicians and collect clinician-reported outcome data after using the relaxation room.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a curriculum about professionalism on stress response during a critical situation in anesthesiology residents. Residents in anesthesiology will complete a training program on professionalism during their first postgraduate year. They will go through a standardized simulated scenario where they have to manage an intra-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest and then meet the patient's family. Stress response will be assessed and compared to a control group that did not receive the training program.

The objective of this study is to compare psychological distress and needs of nurses in ICU before and during coronavirus pandemic.

This study is aiming at investigating whether professional burnout in people involved in the mobile intensive care unit (in French: Element Mobile de Réanimation, EMR) in Mulhouse (France) can be predicted upstream by a low mindfulness level (as a protective factor) or by a dysregulation of stress pathways with a high level of perceived stress towards an emotional event (psychological index of allostatic load), i.e. an early and silent dysfunctional physiological response (measured by the electrophysiological and biological measurements of allostasis load and parasympathetic brake). It is part of a global approach aiming at identifying levers to prevent the allostatic load of occupational stress related to large-scale health crises.

I. Main outcome Decrease of the stress evaluated 6 months after training. Stress is defined as the presence of job strain as defined by Karasek. II. Main secondary outcomes ICU nurses stress at one year Burnout Intent-to-leave the ICU Quality of life III. Design Prospective, randomized, open study comparing 2 groups of ICU nurses: Simulation group and Control group Nurses from 9 different adult ICUs will be included. Stratification by ICU will be done (to take into account differences between the ICUs regarding organization, activity, patients…). This study is observational because nurses can participate to this training when they want. The fact that nurses are in control group delays their participation to this training but does not forbid them to particpate. The nurses from control group will participate to training at the end of study. IV. Specific measures Control group: none Simulation group: 5-day specific training with dedicated scenario done by an ICU expert simulation team V. Study duration 48 months VI. Ethical aspects - Reglementary concerns Study accepted by the Comité Consultatif sur le Traitement de l'Information en matière de Recherche dans le domaine de la Santé (CCTIRS) and by the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) Information to the participants prior inclusion VII. Study population Job strain evaluated in a French study was 59% . The same rate was observed in a survey done in our institution (Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Marseille). We therefore hypothesized that the intervention (simulation) should be able to reduce the job strain from 59% to 45% of the participants. With a power of 80% and a risk a of 5%, this study needs to include 185 patients per arm. To take into account few participants who will not complete the study, we aimed to include a total of 400 ICU nurses. VIII Results An interim analysis will be performed after 200 inclusions

Occupation stress can be the risk factors of early embryonic death

This study aims to validate an adapted workplace stress scale (American Institute of Stress) for employees working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our funding company (BPAi) is a global provider of technology enabled business process services. They offer a range of innovative services and bespoke software solutions, to improve the performance of client networks by increasing revenue, reducing cost, enhancing customer satisfaction. Clients have provided feedback that they require a way to manage, monitor and support their employees' wellbeing while working remotely. The MyBuddy web-based app is in development to meet this need. To best support employees, having an effective measure of workplace stress while working remotely will be a core feature of the app. Thus, this research study was commissioned to validate the measure. A theoretical framework has been developed based on recent models. The measure was adapted based on this theoretical framework (see detailed description). The hypothesis is that our measure will be validated using participants from BPAi's clients (technology/automotive corporations). The investigators hope this study will help to contribute to the evidence base and provide a useful tool in assessing remote workplace stress. Participants will be employees of BPAi's clients taking part in the piloting of the novel employee wellbeing app. Participants will be invited to take part in the research when they first log into the app. Participants will be provided with an information sheet and a consent form. Once they have provided informed consent, they will be prompted to complete the embedded questionnaires (including the once to be validated). After one month, they will be prompted to complete the questionnaires again. Once the data has been collected, their access to the app will end, and the data will be analysed. Once the data has been analysed, the measure will either be validated, or require adaptations and re-validation with a new sample. The research will be written up into a manuscript and submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication.

This study aims to construct and validate an international professional perceived stress scale specific to intensive care units: the PS-ICU Scale (Perceived Stressors in Intensive Care Units).

This study will investigate if yoga exercises decrease work-related stress and improve stress adaptation in professional health helpers.
