Active clinical trials for "Occupational Stress"

Brief Description of the Study: Text messages will be sent to participants and responses will be surveyed to ascertain if using a social, digital intervention can influence NLNs' (newly licensed nurses') stress, resiliency, perceived sense of social support, and/or the intention to stay at current jobs. Newly licensed nurses (within their first year of hire) will be asked to participate. A series of four text messages will be sent to all study participants (experimental and control groups) by the PI every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday (M, W, F, S) at 1pm for six weeks, for a total of 24 different texts for each group. Participants will fill out surveys before the study begins, at week 3 and at the end of the study (week 6).The control group will receive medical facts. Texts sent to the experimental group will be based on SSBC nurturant support messages and are intended to decrease stress intention to leave (ITL), increase resilience, and perceived sense of support. The SSBC nurturant support texts are comprised of three themes of support: emotional, network, and esteem. The experimental group's supportive text messages were created by the PI and require content validation. A gatekeeper at your facility will be asked to send an email to "Experts" (MSN educators) and ask them to complete the validation survey using a Qualtrics Survey Platform then the PI will place ratings into a table and calculate the results. There are 3 other facilities enrolled in this study: University California, San Diego, El Centro Medical Center, and Pioneer Hospital (all located in southern California).

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of internet intervention for reduction of occupational stress and its negative consequences (job burnout, depression) among medical professionals through the enhancement of the resources that are critical for coping with stress: self-efficacy and perceived social support.

This pilot study will evaluate possible intervention components to be included in a future stress management and health behaviour change trial and to pilot test their feasibility and acceptability in a small sample.

The current pandemic highlighted an urgent need for early interventions to mitigate the psychological effects of extreme work demands that healthcare workers currently experience. This project aims at developing a data driven monitoring system to efficiently track work-related stress reactions over time. The system will also include a self-awareness intervention grounded on evidence-based strategies to improve workers' recovery. The solution will be delivered through a mobile application for a rapid implementation among healthcare workers and related professions. The mobile application will be developed through an initial analysis of pilot data, a factorial experiment and a user-experience analysis. Qualitative user experience data will also be used to validate the functionality of the monitoring system. The solution developed in this project will be easily scalable to related occupations, for example workers at elderly homes and social workers. After the pandemic, it can also be used as a preventive intervention for workers who are at risk of burnout and as a support for patients returning to work after treatment for common mental disorders.

Purpose: To evaluate the stress levels of dentists working under clinical, deep sedation, or general anaesthesia. Methods: Blood pressure (Systolic, Diastolic blood pressure), Pulse value, O2 saturations were measured, and saliva samples were taken by the dentists 10 minutes before the dental treatment, at the 25th minute of the treatment, and 30 minutes after the treatment under clinic, deep sedation, and general anesthesia. Salivary cortisol was measured by electrochemiluminescence (ECLIA) method using the Cobas Cortisol ll kit. The data are analayse statistically

This study seeks to evaluate the prevalence and characterize predictors of physician burnout in the anesthesia residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The study also seeks to evaluate the effect of an exercise intervention on burnout and personal resiliency (i.e., less individual stress given the same workload).

The purpose of this 6- month study is to determine the feasibility of a start-up incubator intervention designed to decrease occupational stress and depression for beginning Kentucky farmers. The objectives are to: #1) test the feasibility of a mentorship and start-up incubator intervention on depression in beginning Kentucky farmers using questionnaires administered prestudy, mid-study, and post-study; #2) explore associations between mentorship, occupational stress and depression in beginning Kentucky farmers using specific survey questionnaires to guide future research. This study's results will provide valuable data to agriculture and occupational health researchers. The data will illustrate the impact of mentorship and community support on improving depression and occupational stress of beginning Kentucky farmers.

A study to analyze the psychophysiological effects of a preventative, 4-week resilience training with mobile heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV-BfB) in a workplace setting and the influence of the lecture format (digital vs. live) on the training success.

Burnout affects a significant number of healthcare employees and leads to worsened mental health, increased job turnover, and patient safety events. Those caring for critically ill patients may be especially susceptible due to high patient mortality, long hours, and regular encounters with traumatic and ethical issues. Preliminary studies suggest that debriefing opportunities may reduce burnout through reflection on distressing patient events, enhancement of social support, and interprofessional collaboration. Death Cafés are a specific form of debriefing that focus on discussing death, dying, loss, and illness. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether biweekly Death Cafe group debriefing sessions can prevent burnout in ICU physicians and staff.

This study will examine the effects of Isha Kriya meditation on stress and burnout among healthcare providers.
