Analyzing the Impact of Practice Environment on Nurse Burnout Using Conventional and Multilevel Logistic Regression Models.

Background: Most of the previous studies on nursing practice environment and job burnout employed conventional analyses ignoring the impact of unit-level data clusters. This study addressed this gap by examining the effects of the nursing practice environments on dimensions of occupational burnout among a sample of Chinese nurses using multilevel logistic regression models and demonstrating the superiority of employing multilevel models over conventional models within this context. Methods: A proportionate stratified sampling method was applied in this cross-sectional study that invited 1,300 registered nurses (RNs) from nine clinical units of a large, academic hospital in urban China to complete the questionnaire. Nurse-reported information was obtained using the Practice Environment Scale of the Nursing Work Index (PES-NWI) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Findings: A total of 1,178 valid questionnaires were returned for a response rate of 90.62%. RNs generally perceived their nursing practice environment as favorable as measured by the PES-NWI. Approximately 40% of the respondents reported experiencing emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. The multivariate models indicated that nurse burnout was significantly associated with nurse participation in hospital affairs, nursing foundations for quality of care, and adequate staffing. In addition, our results illustrated the advantage of multilevel modeling over the conventional modeling for handling hierarchical data in terms of the accuracy of the estimates and the goodness-of-fit of the model. Conclusions/Application to Practice: These findings underscore the importance of measures aimed at enhancing nursing practice environments to prevent RNs from experiencing feelings of burnout and of considering multilevel analysis in future nursing research.

Feeling of Insecurity in Khaki: its Effects on Burnout and Allied Consequences in Haryana Police Officers

The study aimed to assess feeling of insecurity at job, its association with burnout and the role of burnout in the relationships of feeling of insecurity with certain outcomes in Haryana Police officers. Adopting a cross-sectional design (sample size 1,223), the study observed feeling of insecurity at job in the officers; its positive association with burnout; burnout as a mediator in the relationships of feeling of insecurity with job satisfaction, commitment to the workplace, health, work-family conflict, and feeling to quit. The study identified burnout acting more like a suppressor variable in the relationships of feeling of insecurity with organisational citizenship behaviours, and physical aggression. The study found both feeling of insecurity and burnout as unrelated to verbal aggression. For the police administrators, study findings have key practical implications. The findings highlight feeling of insecurity and burnout as key venues to target with appropriate interventions for attenuating their adverse effects.

The Study on Impact of Work from Home on Well - Being of Employees

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a significant shift towards remote work, with many employees now working from home on a full- or part-time basis. The study has been focused on understanding the “Impact of work from home on employee wellbeing”. It consists of the factors which impact the employee wellbeing due to work from home. Not only elder even children are also using electronic gadgets like tablets, laptops, mobile phones this is due to the effect of work from home. Work-Life Balance is a challenging issue for IT leaders, managers and has also attracted the attention of researchers. The India Work report, which surveyed 585 Gen-Y professionals from varied sectors and senior levels across India, showed that 90% employees feel a flexible work environment is important. The research, which looks at how employees carve quality time out of their work weeks for family or to free up their mind to increase productivity, indicated that apart from the scope of responsibilities and tasks in the workplace, other factors such as commuting, employee- employer relationship and flexi-environment all affect the productivity of the employees. While working from home can have certain benefits, such as increased flexibility and the ability to avoid a commute, it can also have negative impacts on the well-being of employees. One of the main challenges of working from home is the lack of separation between work and personal life. Without the physical boundaries of a traditional office, it can be more difficult for employees to disconnect from work and take breaks. This can lead to increased feelings of stress and burnout, as well as negative impacts on mental health. In addition, working from home can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness, as employees may not have the same social interactions and support systems that they would in a traditional office setting.

Burnout among Palestinian Nurses Working in Governmental and Private Hospitals at Nablus District

Background: Burnout is a syndrome that typically characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. World Health Organization (WHO) recognized burn out as a mental health problem that defined as “a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic work-place stress that has not been successfully managed. Objectives: The study aimed to assess burnout among nurses and to determine the difference, if any, in burnout of nurses working in Government and Private Hospitals. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational design was used to assess burnout among nurses, and to explore the difference burnout level among nurses at four hospitals in Nablus district which are Nablus Specialty Hospital, Specialized Arab Hospital, which are private hospitals, in addition to Al Watani Hospital and Rafidia Surgical Hospital which are governmental hospitals. Out of the 420 nurses in Nablus district hospitals, 195 were selected as study participants using stratified random sampling. Data collection tools: A self-administered questionnaire of three parts: Demographic information, Occupation information and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was used to measure burnout. Statistical Analysis: Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed in the analysis using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (SPSS version 22). Frequencies were used to describe the demographic characteristics and work conditions. In addition to paired t-test and ANOVA to compare the means between governmental and private hospitals, and to determine any significance inferential statistics were generated at alpha level of P 0.05. Results: The majority of the participated nurses (95.4%) exhibited relatively high levels of Depersonalization, and (63.1%) nurses expressed moderate levels of Emotional exhaustion while 28.2% reported high Emotional exhaustion level. Conclusion: The study showed that nursing burnout is a substantial problem among nurses working in Governmental and Private Health sector hospitals. Also the study highly revealed that nurses’ work conditions and demographic characteristics have a significant effect and crucial role on the nurses feeling of burnout.

Physician Burnout in a Rural Kansas Community

Physician wellness and burnout are topics of intense discussion and study, however, less is known about rural physician burnout. The aim of this study was to assess levels of physician burnout in the rural Kansas community of Salina. An electronic, confidential survey was conducted among 145 physicians with active privileges at the local health center and/or surgical center. The survey included demographic features, practice characteristics, and the abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory™ (aMBI). In addition, survey participants were invited to provide free-text responses to questions concerning specific causes of burnout and mechanisms to combat feelings of burnout. Of 145 invited, 76 physicians completed the survey. Thirty-six respondents self-identified as primary care physicians, 22 as subspecialists, and 18 as surgeons. aMBI scores for emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (D) and personal accomplishment (PA) ranged from 0 to 18. The mean EE score was 8.4 (SD = 4.9), mean D score was 4.8 (SD = 3.9), and mean PA score was 15.2 (SD = 2.8). Using tertiles, physician burnout (i.e., those in the first tertile) for EE was 39% (30/76), D was 34% (26/76), and PA was 41% (31/75); 22% of physicians surveyed scored high on both EE and D as measured by tertiles, suggestive of more serious burnout. No significant differences in aMBI scores were observed for demographic features or practice characteristics; physicians who worked with medical students had higher PA scores. Contributing to burnout were demands of documentation and difficult patient encounters, while true time away might ameliorate rural physician burnout. As measured by aMBI constructs, burnout is prevalent among the responding rural physicians practicing in the Salina community.

PERSON-CENTERED CARE, BURNOUT, AND BARRIERS AMONG DIRECT CARE PROFESSIONALS: TARGETED TRAINING INTERVENTION 360

Long-term care staff outcomes, such as job satisfaction and providing personalized care, are positively influenced by person-centered interventions. Implemented in eight facilities across Iowa, the Targeted Training Intervention 360 (TTI) program aimed to increase person-centered care among direct care professionals (DCP). Throughout the course of TTI, three waves of data were collected from DCPs regarding person-centered care (Person-Centered Care Assessment Tool; P-CAT) and feelings of burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory; MBI). Analysis of variance tests were employed to identify significant differences in subscale scores across the three waves. Between waves one and two, results revealed significant increases in the P-CAT Extent of Personalizing Care (p=0.03) and Amount of Organizational Support subscales (p=0.001). Additionally, significant decreases from waves one and two were found in the MBI Emotional Exhaustion subscale (p=0.04). Between waves two and three, there were no significant changes in the P-CAT subscales; however, there was a significant increase in the MBI Emotional Exhaustion subscale (p=0.04). To supplement these findings, in wave three DCPs indicated barriers to implementing person-centered care, which included lack of time (49.0%), lack of experience (29.4%), and lack of administrative support (21.6%). Though there were no significant changes in P-CAT scores between the last two waves as well as barriers that must be addressed, DCPs described positive organizational and personal changes regarding person-centered care in the facility, including consistent staffing, using person-centered techniques in care, and individualized activities. Discussion focuses on ways to address barriers to person-centered care and sustain efforts in implementing change.

Meta‐analysis of mindfulness training on teacher well‐being

AbstractTeachers are reporting increased incidence of stress, depression, burnout, and anxiety resulting in overall poor mental health and well‐being outcomes. Recently, mindfulness‐based interventions have emerged as having the potential to improve these deleterious impacts. This meta‐analysis investigated the effects of mindfulness‐based interventions on educators in schools. To be included in the review, studies must have been printed in English, used a methodology that included a control group with in‐service teachers as the primary participants. In addition, the intervention needed to have mindfulness as a major component. The search procedures led to the identification of 18 manuscripts that included a total sample of 1,001 educators. Mindfulness interventions ranged greatly in dosage, frequency, and delivery model. Using a random effects model, mindfulness‐based interventions were found to have significant positive effects across all domains. Mindfulness‐based interventions resulted in large effects on feelings of mindfulness, moderate effects for decreases in stress and anxiety, and small effects on feelings of depression and burnout. Discussion includes the quality of the literature base as well as implications for future research.

The role of employee attributions in burnout of “talented” employees

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine a process through which perceived talent identification affects employee burnout.Design/methodology/approachData for the study were collected from 242 employees using a cross-sectional survey design.FindingsThe findings supported the mediating role of work effort in the relationship between perceived talent identification and burnout. Furthermore, the results highlighted the moderating role of employee well-being attributions in the relationship between perceived talent identification and employee work effort. The moderated–mediated relationship for burnout was also supported.Research limitations/implicationsUsing insights from conservation of resources and attribution theories, this study not only examined the direct relationship between perceived talent identification and feelings of burnout but also provided insights into why perceived talent identification leads to different employee outcomes.Practical implicationsManagement should pay attention to the communication processes related to talent identification because employees’ interpretation of the underlying motives of this identification impacts their well-being (i.e. feelings of burnout).Originality/valueThis study examines employees’ attributions in the context of talent management and demonstrates that these interpretations play an important role in shaping their behaviours.

Helicopter Parenting, Self-Control, and School Burnout among Emerging Adults

We examined the mediating role of self-control in the relation between helicopter parenting and college student school burnout and whether the relation between helicopter parenting and college student school burnout varied by parental gender. Specifically, we hypothesized that (1) there would be a positive association between helicopter parenting and school burnout through lower reports of self-control and (2) perceptions of paternal helicopter parenting would have a greater negative impact on school burnout compared to maternal helicopter parenting. In an online survey, college students (N= 427) reported on both maternal and paternal helicopter parenting, self-control, school burnout, and demographics. Results from structural equation modeling suggested that self-control fully mediated the relation between perceptions of maternal helicopter parenting and feelings of school burnout, and partially mediated the relation between perceptions of paternal helicopter parenting and school burnout. Further, perceptions of paternal helicopter parenting had a stronger direct association with college student school burnout compared to perceptions of maternal helicopter parenting. The results of our study suggest that helicopter parenting behaviors may hinder the development of self-control skills among emerging adult college students, which are associated with feelings of school burnout. Further, helicopter fathers may have a more direct negative impact on college students’ feelings of school burnout than helicopter mothers due to violating their child’s expectations of the typical fathering role. The implications of the findings for practices in higher education were also discussed.

“You can see those concentric rings going out”: Emergency personnel’s experiences treating overdose and perspectives on policy-level responses to the opioid crisis in New Hampshire

BackgroundIn parallel to a substantial increase in opioid overdose deaths in New Hampshire (NH), emergency personnel experienced an increase in opioid-related encounters. To inform public health responses to this crisis, insights into the experiences and perspectives of those emergency personnel who treat opioid-related overdoses are warranted. AimsSystematically examine emergency personnel’s experiences treating opioid overdoses and obtain their perspectives on policy-level responses to the opioid crisis in NH. MethodsSemi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 18 first responders [firefighters (n = 6), police officers (n = 6), emergency medical service providers (n = 6)] and 18 emergency department personnel employed in six NH counties. Interviews focused on emergency personnel’s perspectives on fentanyl/heroin formulations, experiences treating overdoses, harm reduction strategies, and experiences with treatment referral. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using content analysis. ResultsEmergency personnel cited the potency and inconsistency of fentanyl-laced heroin as primary drivers of opioid overdose. Increases in overdose-related encounters took a substantial emotional toll on emergency personnel, who described a range of responses including feelings of burnout, exhaustion, and helplessness. While some emergency personnel felt conflicted about the implementation of harm reduction strategies like syringe services programs, others emphasized the necessity of these services. Emergency personnel expressed frustration with barriers to treatment referral in the state and recommended immediate treatment access after overdose events. ConclusionsFindings suggest that interventions addressing trauma and burnout are necessary to support emergency personnel, while expanded harm reduction and treatment access are critical to support those who experience opioid overdose in NH.

BURNOUT AS A MEDIATOR OF THE INTERRELATIONS BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND STRESS COPING STRATEGIES IN NURSES

The research focuses on the questions of if nurses working in various health care facilities present different abilities for emotional adaptation to the work environment, if they differ in feeling job related burnout, and what stress coping strategies they tend to employ. The Questionnaire of Emotional Intelligence (INTE), Link Burnout Questionnaire (LBQ), and the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) were administered. The study comprised 104 nurses from various health care facilities located within 7 voivodships (Polish provincial administrative divisions). This included three groups of different types of work: general care, specialized medical care, and units providing care for patients at a high risk of dying. A statistical analysis was performed with IBM SPSS Statistic 24. A regression analysis of the interface between emotional intelligence and stress-coping strategies showed that a high degree of emotional intelligence fostered a strategy of task-avoidance coping, and diminished the tendency to concentrate on emotions during stressful situations, it also minimized the propensity of the individual to reduce stress by distracting themselves with other activities. However, the mediation analysis revealed that the impact of emotional intelligence decreased after the role of occupational burnout was taken into consideration. This finding suggests that it is rather the occupational burnout that limits the possibility to apply effective stress coping strategies and that stress management does not reduce the risk of burnout. The study indicated the significant role of emotional intelligence: as a higher level of this form of intelligence corresponded with a lower feeling of burnout in all its dimensions. The mediation analysis revealed that it is the occurrence of burnout that plays the most significant role in adjustment to the work environment. This finding suggests that the prevention of burnout is the most effective factor enabling productive work, and the maintenance of psychological wellbeing despite the many job stressors which may occur in the workplace. It creates the need to clarify its links with depression in order to concentrate on a really effective treatment.

Mindfulness

Most if not all physicians in training report feelings of exhaustion, burnout and inadequacy. Although many of these are normal reactions to an intense and rigorous period in their lives, it is possible to learn behaviors which can counter some of the physical and psychological impact. Mindfulness has been shown to be an effective antidote, and it is possible to incorporate mindfulness into one’s daily routine in a practical and efficient manner. Practicing mindfulness can ease the consequences of stress while simultaneously improving patient care. The key is the amount of practice one engages in; the more times one can practice mindfulness on a daily basis, the more benefits one receives. Physicians are encouraged to learn basic mindfulness skills and incorporate them into their personal and professional lives. This review contains 11 references.

The Influences Burnout and Lack of Empowerment Have on Creativity in Nursing Faculty.

The aim was to establish a correlation between burnout and lack of empowerment in associate degree nursing faculty and their creativity in the classroom. A descriptive, quantitative research study was completed. An email with a survey link was sent to members of the National Organization for Associate Degree Nursing asking for anonymous, voluntary participation and inviting members to forward to additional faculty; 217 participants completed the survey in its entirety. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression tests were completed on the data. Statistically significant (personal burnout, p = .004; work burnout, p = .003; student burnout, p = .000) relationships were found between burnout and creativity. No relationship was established between lack of empowerment and creativity. Nursing faculty who perceived feelings of burnout were less motivated or engaged in their workplace, including interactions with students, which was directly correlated to a decrease in perceived feelings of creativity.

Characteristics of Health Care Organizations Associated With Clinician Trust

There is new emphasis on clinician trust in health care organizations but little empirical data about the association of trust with clinician satisfaction and retention. To examine organizational characteristics associated with trust. This prospective cohort study uses data collected from 2012 to 2014 from 34 primary care practices employing physicians (family medicine and general internal medicine) and advanced practice clinicians (nurse practitioners and physician assistants) in the upper Midwest and East Coast of the United States as part of the Healthy Work Place randomized clinical trial. Analyses were performed from 2015 to 2016. Clinician trust was measured using a 5-item scale, including belonging, loyalty, safety focus, sense of trust, and responsibility to clinicians in need (range, 1-4, with 1 indicating low and 4 indicating high; Cronbach α = 0.77). Other metrics included work control, work atmosphere (calm to chaotic), organizational culture (cohesiveness, emphases on quality and communication, and values alignment; range, 1-4, with 1 indicating low and 4 indicating high), and clinician stress (range, 1-5, with 1 indicating low and 5 indicating high), satisfaction (range, 1-5, with 1 indicating low and 4 indicating high), burnout (range, 1-5, with 1 indicating no burnout and 5 indicating very high feeling of burnout), and intention to leave (range, 1-5, with 1 indicating no intention to leave and 5 indicating definite intention to leave). Analyses included 2-level hierarchical modeling controlling for age, sex, specialty, and clinician type. Cohen d effect sizes (ESs) were considered small at 0.20, moderate at 0.50, and large at 0.80 or more. The study included 165 clinicians (mean [SD] age, 47.3 [9.2] years; 86 [52.1%] women). Of these, 143 (87.7%) were physicians and 22 (13.3%) were advanced practice clinicians; 105 clinicians (63.6%) worked in family medicine, and 60 clinicians (36.4%) worked in internal medicine. Compared with clinicians with low levels of trust, clinicians who reported high levels of trust had higher mean (SD) scores for work control (2.49 [0.52] vs 2.18 [0.45]; P < .001), cohesiveness (3.11 [0.46] vs 2.51 [0.51]; P < .001), emphasis on quality vs productivity (3.12 [0.48] vs 2.58 [0.41]; P < .001), emphasis on communication (3.39 [0.41] vs 3.01 [0.44]; P < .001), and values alignment (2.61 [0.59] vs 2.12 [0.52]; P < .001). Men were more likely than women to express loyalty (ES, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.05-0.66; P = .02) and high trust (ES, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.01-0.62; P = .04). Compared with clinicians with low trust at baseline, clinicians with high trust at baseline had a higher mean (SD) satisfaction score (3.99 [0.08] vs 3.51 [0.07]; P < .001; ES, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.39-1.02). Compared with clinicians in whom trust declined or remained low, clinicians with improved or stable high trust reported higher mean (SD) satisfaction (4.01 [0.07] vs 3.43 [0.06]; P < .001; ES, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.66-1.31) and lower stress (3.21 [0.09] vs 3.53 [0.09]; P = .02; ES, -0.39; 95% CI, -0.70 to -0.08) scores and had approximately half the odds of intending to leave (odds ratio, 0.481; 95% CI, 0.241-0.957; P = .04). Addressing low levels of trust by improving work control and emphasizing quality, cohesion, communication, and values may improve clinician satisfaction, stress, and retention.

International survey responses from an interdisciplinary cohort of spinal cord injury clinicians assessing professional burnout and meaning in work.

Study designWhile clinicians who care for patients with spinal cord injury may experience heightened levels of workplace stress related to secondary trauma, little is known about the characteristics of burnout and potential protective factors among interdisciplinary professionals who care for this distinct clinical population. An online survey of self-reported burnout symptoms and meaning in work was conducted to assess the prevalence of burnout and characteristics of meaning in work among spinal cord injury professionals.ObjectivesTo assess symptoms of professional burnout and meaning in work among a broad-ranging cohort of spinal cord injury clinicians and researchers.SettingA group of international spinal cord injury professionals.MethodsAn online survey was developed using commonly assessed metrics of burnout and meaning in work based upon prior literature.ResultsA majority of survey respondents reported feeling exhaustion (60.1%), while fewer reported feelings of burnout (41.1%) or work-life imbalance (31.9%). Many respondents found support in personal relationship from friends and family and reported using various strategies to deal with work stress, including exercise, meditation, and engaging in personally meaningful activities outside of work.ConclusionsExhaustion is a prevalent issue for many spinal cord injury professionals and burnout appears to be a significant issue for a subset of responders, yet despite potential workplace stressors, spinal cord injury professionals reported high meaningfulness of work, positive impact from colleagues, and satisfaction with intellectual stimulation at work.

The Relationship of Emotions and Burnout to Medical Students’ Academic Performance

Phenomenon: Medical school curricula challenge even the most adept learner, potentially leading to feelings of burnout. When faced with uncertainties in a new curriculum, confidence in achieving academic goals may be threatened. We previously found associations between academic performance and pride, hope, anxiety, and shame in medical students. Are these emotions still associated in the context of an evolving curriculum? Approach: All 1st- and 2nd-year medical students were invited to participate in a survey study (n = 264). Year 1 students were in the first semester of the new curriculum. The Hope, Pride, Shame, and Anxiety subscales of the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) General Survey for Students were administered in fall 2017. Academic performance (semester overall percentage) was matched to participants completing all 4 questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the results. Findings: Response rates for those who completed every survey administered was 18.5%. Combined data from the classes revealed relationships between academic performance with MBI subscale-professional efficacy (r = .577), hope (r = .497), pride (r = .411), anxiety (r = −.307), and shame (r = −.402). Upon analyzing data from each class, professional efficacy (M1: r = .535; M2: r = .674) and pride (M1: r = .591; M2: r = .450) were correlated to academic performance. In a stepwise regression model, professional efficacy was the only predictor of academic performance (B = .560, t = 3.82, R2 = .31). Insights: When faced with challenges from medical school, positive emotions strengthen self-efficacy, allowing students to identify strategies to accomplish academic goals. Although it is important to acknowledge the emotions that students experience, our finding that professional efficacy was the most significant predictor of academic performance suggests the need for strategies to enhance self-efficacy. Use of flipped classrooms or problem-based learning offers opportunities for cognitive appraisal to foster their self-efficacy.

Burnout Among Forensic Interviewers, How They Cope, and What Agencies Can Do to Help.

The current study used quantitative and qualitative responses from 250 forensic interviewers (FIs) in the United States to examine predictors of burnout and personal coping mechanisms. Findings indicated that burnout was primarily driven by work-related factors including frequently feeling overwhelmed with job-related duties, inadequate organizational support, and direct exposure to graphic materials involving children. Moreover, having a higher degree of compassion satisfaction and being non-White significantly mitigated symptoms of burnout. Qualitative findings indicated that FIs regularly experienced varied and personalized feelings of burnout and utilized a variety of coping methods to combat their stressors. FIs in this study also made individual suggestions regarding how their respective agencies can assist in the coping process. Policy implications are discussed.

Stress Among Teachers: Exploring the Role of Cultural Diversity in Schools

We investigated the effects of stereotypical expectations regarding cultural diversity on teachers’ feelings of burnout, stress, and self-efficacy beliefs. With an experimental design, we confronted teachers with fictitious schools that were either high or low in cultural diversity and assessed the teachers’ feelings of burnout and self-efficacy beliefs (Study 1) and their stress with respect to culturally responsive teaching and locus of control (Study 2). Teachers who were confronted with a highly culturally diverse school showed higher feelings of burnout and stress and lower self-efficacy than teachers presented with a school low in cultural diversity. School composition affected teachers from primary and secondary schools differently. The consequences of holding stereotypical beliefs about highly culturally diverse schools are discussed.
