Active clinical trials for "Occupational Stress"

This study will examine the feasibility of conducting an online Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) in frontline hospital and long term care healthcare staff in managing COVID-19 patients in London, ON. The study will randomize participants to Sudarshan Kriya Yoga (SKY) or a Health Enhancement Program (HEP).

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate a reduction of sedentary behavior following a behavioral intervention (sit-and-stand desk, and cycloergometer)

Work-related stress is a pattern of physiological, emotional, cognitive and behavioural reactions to some extremely taxing aspects of work content, work organization and work environment. Certain work situations are too intense and frequent in nature that exceed an individual's coping capabilities and resources to handle them adequately Dentistry is commonly known as a stressful profession among various occupations. Frequent dealing with different types of patients, working in a very small area for long period of time , exposure to toxic substances , all these factors put the dentist under stress. Adding to the previous factors, working to uncooperative children with annoying parents, will put pediatric dentistry on the top of the most stressful branches in dentistry. Stress can affect pedodontists physiologically by increasing their blood pressure, heart rate, breathing rate and excessive sweating which in turn may increase the risk of hypertension and breathing problems.

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 present study aims to compare the differential effects of a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) and physical exercise (PE) on different stress and health variables by self-reports. A randomized controlled trial of three groups is proposed, with pretest, posttest and four follow-ups at 1, 2, 3 and 6 months that would be developed among the employees of two large multinationals.

Developed over 10 years ago, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) synergistically combines mindfulness training and cognitive behavioral therapy and can increase resiliency. In this study, the investigators proposed two aims: Aim #1: To adapt and optimize a MBCT resiliency program specifically for ICU nurses. For this aim, the investigators will engage multiple stakeholder groups to assist the protocol adaptation. Aim # 2: To conduct a pilot clinical trial to determine acceptability of the MBCT resiliency program and the control intervention. In this aim, the investigators will also identify the most feasible randomization level to minimize contamination between the control and intervention groups. Collectively, this proposal will pave the way for a properly designed large multi-center trial of a MBCT resiliency program (MBCT-ICU) to determine its ability to decrease BOS symptoms; and allow nurses to more effectively care for patients in the challenging ICU environment.

Certain populations may be particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of chronic stress, particularly chronic work-related stress. One such population is that of clergy doing ministry work. Clergy who are interested in stress reduction will choose one of three interventions: Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, the Daily Examen, or a set of stress inoculation and breathing exercises called Stress Proofing. The study investigators will examine changes in heart rate variability and self-reported stress symptoms over time among clergy who have participated in one of the three interventions, compared to clergy who have not yet received one of the interventions. The aim of this study is to determine trends in stress outcomes for each of the three interventions. The investigators hypothesize that participation in each intervention will be associated with an improvement in stress outcomes compared to those who have not yet received an intervention.

Evaluation of the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on hospital staff in the French Nouvelle Aquitaine area, through a longitudinal study with repeated self-administered psychologic scales

This study adresses nursing acuity measures within somatic in-patient care. Quantitative and qualitative analyses will be used in order to examine staffing levels and nurses' perception of work enivoronment, before, during and after the implementation of a patient acuity tool as a part of daily management.

The purpose of this study is identify the psychological impact of the coronavirus-19 pandemic on professionals in residential care facilities for old people and home help professionals in New-Aquitaine by : Large-scale screening for the prevalence of mental health disorders among staff. Identification of vulnerability and resilience factors. Improving access to early care for affected professionals.
