Predictors for Burnout Among Healthcare Workers in a Post -Covid Era

IntroductionWe aimed to study predictive factors for burnout (BO) among healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital in Singapore.ObjectivesWe hypothesized that burnout would be assoiciated with singles, females, and foreign born staff recently moved into this country, unaccompanied by family members.We further hypothesised that BO would be associated with those scoring less on resilience. Recognising that social support mitigated against stress and burnout, we hypothesized that those who perceived less support would be more prone to BO.MethodsThe study questionnaire was sent via corporate email to all staff with email access. We stressed that data would be fully anonymised. No financial rewards were given for participation which was carried out on a voluntary basis.The following instruments were used, viz. F-SozU K-6, a brief form of the perceived social support questionnaire; Connor Davidson Resilience Scale; Oldenburg Burnout Inventory; Patient Health Questionnaire-4 item; Demand Control Support Questionnaire and Leisure Time Satisfaction Scale. Ethics approval for the study was sought from the SingHealth Centralised Institutional Review Board, which granted exemption of participant consent.Analyses were performed using Stata version 17.0 (StataCorp. 2021), with statistical significance set as 2-sided 5% (p<0.05). The reliability and internal consistency of the scales used were assessed using Cronbach Alphas and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA).ResultsNeither males nor females were more at risk for BO. And contrary to what we hypothesised those who recently moved to this nation were not at greater risk for BO (p>0.05). Multivariate analyses showed that younger workers displayed higher burnout scores (p < 0.001).The psychological demand sub-score was positively associated with burnout [ 0.61 (95% CI 0.45 to 0.77), p < 0.001)]. Conversely, decision latitude [-0.33 (95% CI -0.44 to -0.21), p < 0.001)] and support [-0.47 (95% CI -0.60 to -0.35), p < 0.001] were negatively associated with BO.Those who experienced anxiety or depressive symptoms were respectively more likely to experience burnout [0.30 (95% CI 0.02 to 0.58), p = 0.035 and 0.72 (95% CI 0.41 to 1.02), p < 0.001], with a clear association between higher PHQ-4 scores and risk for burnout (r = 0.619).Moreover, satisfaction with utilisation of leisure time was inversely related to BO [-0.55 (95% CI -0.68 to –0.41; p < 0.001)]. We could not find any association between number of years worked, profession, marital status and perceived social support and BO, on multivariate anbalysis (p>0.05).ConclusionsStrress reduction interventions should be made available for all staff, especially addressing those at highest risk for burnout.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

The Relationship between Physical Education Teachers’ Benefits of Participation in Recreational Activities, Leisure Time Satisfaction Levels, and Cognitive Flexibility

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physical education teachers' recreational activity participation, leisure time satisfaction, and cognitive flexibility. The relationship between the benefits that physical education teachers derive from participating in recreational activities, their levels of satisfaction during leisure time, and their cognitive flexibility. A total of 515 participants took part in the research. Out of these, 191 were female and 324 were male. All the participants were employed by physical education departments in Antalya. The teachers who participated in the research were selected using the homogeneous sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods, and voluntary participation was considered in determining the participants. In the collection of research data, the scales were filled in electronically. The Personal Information Form developed by the researcher was used to obtain sociodemographic data. In addition, the Recreation Utility Scale designed by Ho in 2008 (26), the Leisure Time Satisfaction Scale developed by Beard and Ragheb in 1980 (6), and the Cognitive Flexibility Scale developed by Martin and Rubin in 1995 (34) were used to measure how individuals spend their ‘leisure time’ physically, psychologically, and socially. The data obtained from the scales were analyzed and interpreted through statistical methods based on the research problems. SPSS version 25 statistical programs was used for data analysis. Descriptive statistical analyses, including frequency and percentage distributions of the responses to the scale questions, as well as arithmetic mean and standard deviation scores, interpretive statistical analyses were performed based on the results of the normality analysis of the data, and correlation (Pearson) analysis was used to determine the relationships between variables. The reliability level for this study was accepted as 0.05. When the findings were examined, according to the results of the research, it can be said that the physical education teachers participating in the research generally think that recreational activities are beneficial in terms of physical, psychological, and social aspects. However, they exhibited an attitude that recreational activities contribute more to individuals' physical and psychological characteristics while contributing less to their social lives or socialization. Additionally, it can be said that they are generally satisfied with leisure activities, but they believe that the places where these activities are carried out need to be better designed or increased. The cognitive flexibility levels of physical education teachers were found to be close to "somewhat agree" and they have a positive cognitive flexibility. According to the findings obtained regarding the sub-problem of the research, "Is there a statistically significant relationship between the benefits of physical education teachers' participation in recreational activities, their leisure satisfaction, and cognitive flexibility levels?", it was determined that there were statistically significant (p

Investigation of the Relationship between Recreational Spor Well-Being and Leisure Satisfaction of University Community Members

Only if there is time for sports is it possible for sports to give life significance. At this point, recreational sports take center stage. Recreational activities are known to improve health, but it is assumed that this health will also make leisure time more enjoyable. Accordingly, the purpose of this relational survey research is to evaluate the link between university community members' pleasure with their leisure time and recreational well-being. The research employed an easy random sampling procedure and a descriptive scanning methodology. In the study, "Recreational Sports Well-Being Scale" and "Leisure Satisfaction Scale" were used to determine the recreational sports well-being and leisure satisfaction levels of the participants. The universe of the research is "Selçuk University Student Societies". A total of 298 people participated in the research. As 14 participants left most of the questions blank and 7 participants marked more than one variable, 21 people were excluded from the study, and 277 people, 127 women and 150 men, were included in the study. The results show that there is a substantial relationship between leisure time satisfaction and the length of time spent engaging in recreational activities and sports. On the other hand, it has been determined that the income variable is one of the most effective factors in terms of well-being and leisure satisfaction. In conclusion; leisure satisfaction and recreational sport well-being are moderately positively related. It can be stated that the gains of female participants and participants with high perceived income from recreational sports activities contribute more positively to their well-being levels.

Investigation of the Relationship Between the Levels of Leisure Time Satisfaction and Passion in Sports Who Exercise Individuals Fitness

This study aimed to reveal the relationship between the leisure satisfaction levels of individuals who do fitness exercises and their passion levels in sports. The study group of the research consisted of individuals who did fitness exercises in Aydın in 2023. 259 individuals voluntarily participated in the study. In the study, demographic information was used as a data collection tool in the first part, and in the second part, the "Passion in Sport Scale" developed by Sigmundsson et al., (2020) and adapted into Turkish by Özdayı et al., (2021), and the "Leisure Time Satisfaction Scale" developed by Beard and Ragheb (1980) and adapted into Turkish by Gökçe and Orhan (2011) were used. In statistical terms, frequency analysis, reliability coefficient calculations, pearson correlation analysis, simple regression analysis, t test and anova analysis were performed. There was a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) between the variables of leisure satisfaction and weekly exercise duration and sports experience of the participants, and a statistically significant difference was detected between passion in sports and age, weekly exercise time and sports experience variables (p<0.05). It has been concluded that individuals who do fitness exercises have a significant and positive effect on their leisure satisfaction.

Halk Oyuncuların Serbest Zaman Doyum ve Mutluluk Düzeylerinin İncelenmesi

The aim of this research conducted with folk dancers is to examine the leisure time, satisfaction and happiness levels of folk dancers. In this context, the universe sample group of the relevant research was 75 folk dancers in Alanya. The relevant data was collected from folk dancers through Google forms. In the study, short Oxford happiness and leisure time satisfaction scale was used as a data collection medium. SPSS 26.0 program was used in the analysis of the data obtained within the scope of the study. In the study, the normality of the data was examined by looking at the skewness and kurtosis values before the analysis. Since the skewness and kurtosis values of the data obtained from folk dancers are between -1.5 + 1.5 reference values, the normal distribution is accepted (Tabachnick and Fidell, 2013). Therefore, sample t test, one-way analysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis independent of parametric tests were performed in the study. 
 As a result of this research, which was carried out to examine the leisure time and happiness levels of folk dancers, it was found that the leisure time satisfaction levels of male folk dancers were higher than female folk dancers, and as the education level decreased, happiness was affected accordingly.

Psychological well-being of hybrid entrepreneurs: A replication and extension study using German panel data

This study contributes to new debates about how hybrid entrepreneurship is related to specific psychological well-being dimensions (job, life, and leisure time satisfaction). To address this issue, Ardianti, Obschonka, and Davidsson (2022; AOD) published first empirical results in JBVInsights. They provide evidence for different effects on well-being, depending on how individuals have switched from or into hybrid entrepreneurship. By drawing on panel data from Germany, two studies are conducted. While study 1 replicates the original methodological approach, study 2 provides an extension by applying cross-model coefficient comparison tests. In study 1 we were able to replicate some of the original results presented by AOD. In contrast to the original study, we find that the switch from wage employment to hybrid entrepreneurship is negatively related to job and life satisfaction. Also, while AOD show that a switch from hybrid entrepreneurship to full-time entrepreneurship relates significantly to job and life satisfaction, we find no such effects. Finally, in study 2, we provide novel evidence that the effects induced by a job switch to hybrid and full-time entrepreneurship are significantly stronger for job satisfaction when compared to life and leisure time satisfaction.

Examining the Relationship between Cognitive Flexibility and Leisure Boredom in Students

Cognitive flexibility studies are being handled and studied in a multidisciplinary manner day by day. In this study, cognitive flexibility levels and leisure boredom perceptions of university students who do sports were examined. The "leisure boredom scale" adapted to Turkish by Kara, Gürbüz and Öncü (2014) and the "Cognitive Flexibility Scale" adapted to Turkish by Altunkol (2011) were used as data collection tools. The universe of the study consists of the students of Atatürk University Faculty of Sports Sciences. Sample; it consists of 188 people, 100 men and 88 women, using simple random sampling technique. As a result of the normality tests, it was determined that the data (Skewness -1.5 and Kurtosis +1.1) showed a homogeneous distribution in the value ranges. Our findings show that students who are interested in team activities have more leisure time satisfaction than those who are interested in individual activities (p=.000). The increase in the rate of engaging in leisure time activities indicates that the scores of the students regarding the perception of leisure boredom decline. It is supported by our findings that high cognitive flexibility is also associated with leisure satisfaction (r=,514).

Smoking Bans, Leisure Time and Subjective Well-being

During 2007 and 2008 smoking bans were gradually implemented in all of Germany’s sixteen federal states to prohibit smoking in bars, restaurants, and dance clubs. Aimed at reducing smoking and improving health, tobacco control policies are often controversially discussed as they entail potential side effects. We exploit regional variation to identify effects of smoking bans on life satisfaction and leisure time satisfaction. Difference-in-differences estimates reveal that predicted smokers who used to visit bars regularly are less satisfied with life and leisure time, following the enforcement of a smoking ban. We show that changes in use of leisure time likely explain these findings. On the contrary, predicted non-smokers who did not visit bars and restaurants frequently benefit from the smoking bans, as their satisfaction with leisure time increases. They show an increase in hours spent on free-time activities and are more likely to go out with smoking bans in effect.

The Effect of Leisure Time Satisfaction Levels of University Students Taking Reformer Pilates Training on Life Satisfaction: Structural Modeling

This study aims to examine the relationship between leisure time satisfaction and life satisfaction of university students receiving Reformer Pilates training. For this purpose, 234 people from Afyonkarahisar province, reached by purposeful sampling method, constituted the research participants. Leisure Satisfaction Scale developed by Beard and Raghep (1980) and The Satisfaction with Life Scale developed by Ed Diener et al. (1985) was used as a data collection tool. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the Leisure Satisfaction Scale was 0.76, and the Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the life satisfaction scale was 0.70. For the sub-dimensions of the leisure satisfaction scale, the internal consistency coefficients ranged from 0.70 to 0.89. Validity and reliability analysis (EFA) of the obtained data was performed, then confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were applied. As a result of the established model (RMSEA = .07, CFI = .96), a highly significant relationship was found between leisure time satisfaction and life satisfaction (p0.05). It was found that the leisure time satisfaction levels of female students who took the reformer pilates training had a high effect on life satisfaction. The findings suggest that reformer pilates training plays an important role in increasing life satisfaction in young women as a leisure time evaluation tool.

Cross-Sectional Associations between Playing Sports or Electronic Games in Leisure Time and Life Satisfaction in 12-Year-Old Children from the European Union.

Leisure time activities in childhood may have a crucial role in the development of subjective well-being. Nevertheless, more research is needed with cross-national samples concerning the differential effects of lifestyles on life satisfaction. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to analyze the associations between the frequency of playing sports/exercise or playing electronic games on life satisfaction in a sample of 12-year-old children from nine countries from the European Union. The data used in this publication come from the third wave of the Children’s Worlds project, an international survey of children’s lives and well-being whose administration started in 2017. The sample was composed of 10,626 children (50.9% boys) from Estonia, Belgium, Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Poland, Romania, and Spain. They completed the Student Life Satisfaction Scale and answered two questions to assess the frequency of playing sport or exercise, and the frequency of playing electronic games. The results indicated notable scores in life satisfaction in all participating countries. The results showed some differences between boys and girls, and among the countries, in the frequency of sport practice and electronic games in the leisure time, as well as in the overall level of life satisfaction. The results also underlined that sport practice had a greater positive effect on life satisfaction than the use of electronic games. Thus, this study highlights the need to design programs to promote sport practice in leisure time for 12-year-old children in Europe, in order to protect their subjective well-being.

Coping, Social Support, and Caregiver Well-Being With Families Living With SCI: A Mixed Methods Study.

To explore coping, problem solving, social support, and well-being among family caregivers of adults with spinal cord injury (SCI). This was a mixed methods study (qualitative interviews and standardized surveys) with a diverse sample of 39 adults with SCI and their caregivers from four rehabilitation hospitals in the United States, including one Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital. Cluster analysis was used to explore whether distinct profiles of caregivers could be identified, and it was used in conjunction with qualitative data to explore patterns in well-being. Measures of well-being included leisure time satisfaction, social integration, anxiety, depression, physical health complaints, caregiver burden, and quality of life. The importance of individual and extra-individual resources, namely coping and social support, emerged from early qualitative analyses and guided subsequent mixed methods examination of the data. A cluster analysis yielded three caregiver profiles: (1) effective problem solvers with moderate satisfaction with social support, (2) mixed problem solvers with stronger negative orientations and mixed satisfaction with social support, and (3) low endorsers overall. Profiles helped us explore patterns across our data set and efficiently identify differences in caregiver social support, coping, well-being, and unmet needs. Data echo the need for multimodal interventions aimed at skill development, respite options, and screening, support, information, and referral around mental health and burden. SCI care and rehabilitation programs should consider incorporating strategies for bolstering effective caregiver problem-solving skills, reducing negativity and ambivalence, and enhancing social support.

The Relationships Between Leisure Satisfaction, Job Performance, and Life Satisfaction: A Sample of Private Sector Employees in Turkey

This study aimed to describe the relationships between leisure satisfaction, job performance, and life satisfaction among private-sector employees. The study sample consisted of 347 employees, 158 males, and 189 females, working in a private company in Istanbul. The participants were selected using a purposeful sampling method. The data collection tools included the “Leisure Satisfaction Scale”; the "Job Performance Scale", and "Life Satisfaction Scale". The data were analyzed using independent t-test, ANOVA, MANOVA, and Pearson Correlation analysis. The analysis results showed no significant difference between the Life-SS and Leisure-SS scores by gender, but there was a difference in the JPS scores. No significant difference was measured in any scales by marital status. There was a significant statistically meaningful difference between the Life-SS and JPS scores by working types, but no difference in the Leisure-SS scores. There was a difference between the Life-SS and JPS scores; the difference in the Leisure-SS scores was not significant. There was a positive and low-level relationship between JPS and Life-SS. Similarly, a positive and low-level relationship was found between the "Psychological," "Educational" and "Social" sub-dimensions of Leisure-SS and Life-SS. However, there was no relationship between the sub-dimensions of JPS and Leisure-SS. In conclusion, there were meaningful differences in all scale scores by specific socio-demographic characteristics; there was a positive correlation between the "Psychological," "Educational" and "Social" sub-dimensions of Leisure-SS and the Life-SS, and that there was no relationship between Leisure-SS, Life-SS, and JPS. As a result, it can be said that as individuals' job performance and leisure time satisfaction increase, their life satisfaction also increases.
