The promotion of compassion is a key element.

The phenomenon of burnout among medical students - literature review

Introduction: Burnout is characterised by a triad of emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and a decreased sense of accomplishment. Distress during medical school can lead to burnout, with significant consequences, particularly if burnout continues into residency and beyond. There is a lot of research into burnout and the authors reviewed literature pertaining to medical student burnout, its prevalence, and its relationship to personal, environmental, demographic and psychiatric factors.The aim of the study: Paying attention to the correlation between academic lifestyle and occurrence burnout among medical students.Material and method: The research was done by the usage of the PubMed and Google Scholar articles about the topic of: burnout; stress; medical students; behaviour.Description of the state of knowledge: The educational process brings a considerable amount of stress to medical students that can influence mental health status and contribute to further professional burnout. According to various studies and definitions of occupational burnout, this phenomenon is observed in up to 76% of medical students. Research has identified associations between burnout and lifestyle health behaviours. Also relationship between the occurrence of burnout and suicide attempts has been demonstrated. In turn spirituality has been positively influence well-being and to prevent burnout.Summary: Undoubtedly, it is worth paying attention to the phenomenon of occupational burnout among students from the first years of medical studies. Universities should make efforts to reduce the risk of the occurrence and further development of burnout, which may have negative effects in the future work with the patient.

Burnout in gastrenterologists: a national-level analysis

Introduction The term burn-out or burnout, means ‘burn to exhaustion’, this term was first used by Herbert Freundenberg. According to Freundenberg, burnout is a ‘state of physical and mental exhaustion conditioned by the individual's professional activity’. That is manifested through a set of signs and symptoms associated with physical and emotional breakdown that result from total energy exhaustion and the lack of resources or forces to ‘help’ others. Objectives Assess the occurrence of burnout in Portuguese gastroenterologists and understand how certain sociodemographic and professional variables might be associated with burnout manifestations. Material and Methods Observational descriptive, prospective and multicenter study, with analyzed data related to a sample of 52 national gastroenterologists, during the time between 5 February 2019 and 13 April 2019. An estimate of the burnout levels was carried out by the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) questionnaire validated for the Portuguese population - CBI-PT. Possible interconnection between sociodemographic and socio-professional variables were analyzed. Results More than half of the gastroenterologists surveyed did not experience burnout in all subscales of the CBI. On a personal level, there were 13 gastroenterologists with moderate burnout and 11 with high burnout. Regarding the work extent, 18 gastroenterologists with moderate burnout and 7 with high burnout were identified. When considering patient level, it was possible to determine 21 gastroenterologists with moderate burnout and 3 with high burnout. There were no cases of severe burnout. Physicians who developed burnout were significantly younger (p < .001), had less service time (p = .007) and less leisure time (p = .024). Doctors in internship had a higher prevalence of burnout, which might be significantly related to a higher level of professional stress (p = .016). The performance of certain examinations (varicose ligation and endoscopic capsule), working during the weekend and the involvement in medico-legal issues had revealed an association with a higher prevalence of burnout. Discussion and Conclusion A higher prevalence of burnout was identified in young gastroenterologists, doctors in the internship, those performing high amounts of techniques (upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy), as well as doctors working during the weekend or involvement in legal-medical issues. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that if these young doctors do not acquire tools that will allow them to deal with this problem, it is expected that this pathology will reach critical levels within gastroenterologists, and consequently have a negative impact on healthcare.

Mechanisms of mindfulness for professional golfers: the mediating role of basic psychological needs.

The relationship between mindfulness and well-being and ill-being has been demonstrated to a great extent. In sports, the fulfillment of individuals’ basic psychological needs depends mostly on support from others, such as that from a coach in a sports team context. However, a possible way for individuals to fulfill their basic psychological needs is by enhancing mindfulness rather than depending on others. Therefore, building on SDT and mindfulness, this study examines the mediating effect of basic psychological needs on mindfulness to predict subjective vitality and athlete burnout in professional golfers. The participants were 120 golfers (47% females), with a mean age and golf experience of 22.28 and 9.48 years, respectively. The association between mindfulness and subjective vitality was partially mediated by the need for autonomy and relatedness. By contrast, the association between mindfulness and burnout was partially mediated by the need for competence and relatedness, thus supporting our mediation analysis. Overall, the study highlights mindfulness as a potential mechanism to ensure the fulfillment of basic psychological needs in golf training, which could enhance golfers’ subjective vitality and reduce the occurrence of burnout.

PROFESSIONAL BURNOUT OF PRACTICAL PSYCHOLOGISTS WORKING ONLINE- THE STATE OF THE PROBLEM, CAUSES AND PSYCHOLOGICAL PROPHYLAXIS

The article discusses approaches to the study of the “emotional burnout syndrome” in national and foreign literature and the specifics of current studies. The concept of “professional burnout of psychologists working online” has been clarified. The relevance and necessity of the proposed research because of transition of psychologists’ professional activities to the online space are determined. The article purpose is to empirically investigate the state of the problem, to determine the causes of its occurrence and possible resources for the psychological prophylaxis of professional burnout for psychologists working online. To determine the deepness of psychologists’ professional burnout, the method diagnosing a burnout syndrome in “person-to-person” professions and the author’s questionnaire were used. The experiment involved psychologists engaged in online professional activities (n = 72) with various experience of online working (from 1 to 10 years). The empirical data showed that 17% of psychologists use rarely the Internet for their professional activities, 22% use it at an average level, and 61% use it often. 33% of the surveyed psychologists confirmed that they experience professional exhaustion from activities in the Internet. It was found that 11% of psychologists showed high emotional exhaustion, 67% did an average exhaustion and 22% had low one. 6% of the specialists showed high depersonalization, 61% did average one and 23% showed low depersonalization. 1% of the psychologists showed strong reduction of professional achievements, 78% did average reduction and 6% showed low reduction. The causes of burnout occurrence and the ways for it prevention were determined, and guidelines were developed for the psychological prophylaxis of professional burnout for psychologists working online. Prospects for further work are envisaged in the study of psychological factors developing communicative media competence of future psychologists.

DO RECRUITERS IN SERBIA FACE BURNOUT? THE IMPACT OF DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS, DEADLINES AND WORK PRESSURE ON BURNOUT PRESENCE

Burnout syndrome represents one of the most serious disorders in contemporary work environment. One of the professions that did not receive much attention in the scientific research of burnout is that of recruiters, even though literature shows that recruiters face work-related stress on a daily basis, which can often lead to burnout among this group of employees. The aim of this paper is to attempt to identify whether and to what extent burnout is present among recruiters in Serbia (both in-house recruiters and those employed in recruiting companies and agencies) and to reveal the determinants which influence the possibility of burnout occurrence among this group of workers. The most frequently examined variables affecting burnout in other professions were analyzed: age, work experience, marital status, strict deadlines and work pressure. Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) was used to measure the level of burnout. The results obtained by a quantitative research using questionnaires conducted among 100 recruiters in Serbia have shown that recruiters in Serbia face burnout to an extent (overall burnout, individual, work-related and client-related burnout), while all examined variables (except employee’s age) were found to have statistically significant impact on burnout presence among recruiters. What adds value to this paper is the fact that the amount of burnout studies conducted in Serbia in general is scarce and mostly focused on helping professions. The research has a practical purpose to help companies and human resource departments create appropriate burnout prevention training programmes targeted for recruiters.

THE BURNOUT EPIDEMIC DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: THE ROLE OF LMX IN ALLEVIATING PHYSICIANS’ BURNOUT

ABSTRACT During COVID-19 pandemic, physicians are being exposed to unprecedented adverse working conditions that lead to increased occurrence of burnout. While supportive leadership is considered effective in preventing burnout, little is known about the role of leadership in extreme situations. Drawing on leader-member exchange (LMX) theory, we hypothesize that high-LMX relationships lead to lower levels of burnout, as they shape physicians’ perceptions of psychosocial job demands and resources. We also contend that this effect will be stronger for frontline physicians, as they are more exposed to job stressors. In a field study with 2,708 Brazilian physicians, we found support to the alleviating role of LMX, but contrary to what we predicted, we found that this effect is weaker for frontline physicians. Overall, our findings reinforce the importance of establishing high-quality relationships between supervisors and medical staff to mitigate the experience of burnout, however, they also highlight that extreme conditions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, might constrain the beneficial effects of leadership behaviors.

Prevalence of burnout among operating room professionals in the district of Sousse

Abstract Background The Operating Room (OR) is a complex, stressful and potentially dangerous environment. In fact, the professionals practicing in these units suffer from a continuous exposure to multiple stressors that can, eventually, lead to a state of Burnout. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of burnout in the OR and to determine the possible associated factors with this syndrome. Methods This is a cross-sectional study that was carried out among surgeons and paramedical staff in twelve ORs in the teaching hospitals in Sousse, Tunisia, using an auto-administred questionnaire. It was spread over a 4-month period; from January 1st to April 30th 2018. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS 20.0. Also, all confidentiality and anonymity measures were respected. Results A total of 225 OR professionals participated with a response rate of 76.8%. The medical profession was represented by 46 surgeons and the female gender, overall, was predominant and accounted for 60.9% of the participants. Our study showed that the prevalence of burnout was very high (82.6%). Actually, more than half of our population (65.3%) had a high level of emotional exhaustion, 34.2% had a high level of depersonalization and 40.4% represented a high level of low self efficacy. In fact, several factors have been found to promote the occurrence of the burnout syndrome. Indeed, there was a link between burnout and dissatisfaction of work conditions (P = 0.001), high workload (P = 0.001) and altered relationship with the hierarchical superiors (P = 10-6). Conclusions In light of these results, the burnout syndrome is a reality in the ORs. It represents a public health problem whose consequences do not only affect the health of caregivers but, also, the quality of care provided. Thus, it is essential to plan awareness-raising and prevention actions to combat this phenomenon. Key messages A high prevalence of Burnout was recorded among operating rooms professionals. Dissatisfaction and an altered relationship with superiors were found to be associated with the occurrence of Burnout.

A cross-sectional self-assessment of burnout amongst a sample of doctors in Ghana.

BackgroundThe occurrence of burnout amongst African health professionals has been widely anticipated, but there is a dearth of published data, especially amongst doctors. Burnout has been reported to be as high as 53% amongst doctors in the United States. If not detected, it can result in prescription errors, work-related accidents, substance abuse and depression.AimThe aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of burnout and its associated factors amongst a sample of physicians in Ghana.SettingThis study was conducted in Kumasi amongst physicians attending a conference organised by the West African College of Physicians, Ghana Chapter.MethodA cross-sectional study. Of the 90 physicians who registered for the conference, 60 responded to a self-administered Maslach Burnout Inventory questionnaire. Data were analysed descriptively and inferentially using STATA® version 14.ResultsApproximately 52% of respondents had been in medical practice for 10–19 years (mean 15.4 years). All the major medical specialties were represented. Internal Medicine had the highest number of participants (48.3%). With respect to the components of burnout, 5.5% of respondents experienced depersonalisation, 7.8% had a lack of personal achievement and 10.8% experienced emotional exhaustion. The association between burnout and age, sex, years of practice and clinical specialty was not found to be statistically significant.ConclusionThis pilot study has shown burnout to be common amongst physicians in Ghana. It is recommended that further studies are conducted, involving a larger cross-section of doctors in various parts of Africa.

Grit protects medical students from burnout: a longitudinal study

BackgroundBurnout is a serious issue plaguing the medical profession with potential negative consequences on patient care. Burnout symptoms are observed as early as medical school. Based on a Job Demands-Resources model, this study aims to assess associations between specific job resources measured at the beginning of the first year of medical school with burnout symptoms occurring later in the first year.MethodsThe specific job resources of grit, tolerance for ambiguity, social support and gender were measured in Duke-NUS Medical School students at the start of Year 1. Students were then surveyed for burnout symptoms at approximately quarterly intervals throughout the year. Using high ratings of cynicism and exhaustion as the definition of burnout, we investigated the associations of the occurrence of burnout with student job resources using multivariable logistic regression analysis.ResultsOut of 59 students, 19 (32.2%) indicated evidence of burnout at some point across the first year of medical school. Stepwise multivariable logistic regression analysis identified grit as having a significant protective effect against experiencing burnout (Odds Ratio, 0.84; 95%CI 0.74 to 0.96). Using grit as a single predictor of burnout, area under the ROC curve was 0.76 (95%CI: 0.62 to 0.89).ConclusionsGrit was identified as a protective factor against later burnout, suggesting that less gritty students are more susceptible to burnout. The results indicate that grit is a robust character trait which can prognosticate burnout in medical students. These students would potentially benefit from enhanced efforts to develop grit as a personal job resource.

Burnout syndrome among psychiatrists in Egyptian mental health hospital

BackgroundBurnout is a special type of work-related stress—a state of physical or emotional exhaustion that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss of personal identity (Lancet 388:2272-2281, 2016).Burnout is a syndrome of state of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and feelings of low personal accomplishment (Maslach C and Jackson S, Maslach burnout inventory manual, 1986).Burnout syndrome leads to severe problems. It may cause psychosomatic problems, family and marital conflicts, and substance misuse and also may result in complications such as late coming and early leaving of employees, quitting, having frequent medical reports, and the lack of productive and constructive ideas and criticism in the occupational settings (Sayil et al, Kriz Dergisi, Cilt 5, Say 1:2 ss.71-77, 1997).So, we aimed to estimate the rate of occurrence of burnout among a sample of psychiatrists in one of the governmental psychiatric hospitals in Egypt.ResultsResult shows that 56.2% of study sample were males and 43.8% were females. Their mean age was 32 ± 6, and 57.5% were married and 42.5% were single. Mean score of emotional exhaustion was 28.25 ± 10.45 (high). Mean score of depersonalization was 8.5 ± 6.1 (moderate). Mean score of personal accomplishment was 31.78 ± 8.5 (low)ConclusionBurnout rate among psychiatrists of Al-Abbassia Hospital is higher than in western countries. Marriage and sleeping in home have protective effects. There is a significant association between high number of working hours per week and quality of the relationship with seniors and burnout.

Evaluation of physician burnout at a major trauma centre using the Copenhagen burnout inventory: cross-sectional observational study.

Healthcare workers are susceptible to burnout owing to the demanding nature of their profession. The sequela of this is an increased incidence of medical errors and decreased job satisfaction. This study aimed to assess the degree of burnout among physicians of different grades and specialties in a major trauma centre. This study was performed in a UK tertiary trauma centre (Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals) in which 165 doctors from four medical specialties working with acute admissions were given the Copenhagen burnout inventory questionnaire via email and responses were received anonymously. Mean scores were calculated, and a two-tailed P test was performed to assess for statistically significant difference between patient- and work-related factors. The response rate was 77.57% (n = 165). General surgeons had the highest total burnout mean score of 50.00 with an SD of 12.78 followed by emergency medicine, acute medicine and finally orthopaedics. Junior doctors had an overall score of 53.42 with a standard deviation of 5.21, followed by consultants and registrars. The total burnout scores showed that 7.0% (n = 9) had low burnout scores while 56.3% (n = 72) had moderate burnout and 36.7% (n = 47) had high burnout scores. A two-tailed P test revealed a statistically significant difference between the work-related and patient-related subscales (P < 0.0001). Ninety-three percent of responders demonstrated either moderate or high levels of burnout in this study. Work-related factors appeared to contribute more to occurrence of burnout rather than the patient-related or doctor-patient interactions.

Factors Affecting Burnout Syndrome Among Nurses: A Systematic Review

Background: Burnout syndrome is due to the fatigue felt from work, both physically and mentally. Work fatigue experienced by the health care team, especially the nurses, can threaten patient safety. There needs to be actions or policies put in place to decrease the level of nurse burnout syndrome.

Main Aspects Related to Burnout Syndrome in Healthcare Professionals: An Integrative Literature Review

INTRODUCTION: Healthcare work requires intense and prolonged attention from professionals to people who are in situations of need and dependence. Close contact with patients and the fear of making mistakes during care are additional chronic stress factors that favor the occurrence of Burnout. OBJECTIVE: To identify the main aspects related to the Burnout syndrome, due to the relevance of the current theme, according to the literature. METHODOLOGY: This is an integrative literature review, based on articles published between 2014 and 2019, indexed in the Lilacs and Bdenf databases. RESULTS: The results obtained with this study enabled the identification of the main risk factors related to the occurrence of Burnout syndrome, highlighting the infrastructure deficiencies, the rigid hierarchical structure, the excessive workload and lack of material. The syndrome causes numerous damages to the emotional and physical health of workers, such as memory deficit, immunological and cardiovascular impairment, myalgia, social isolation, aggressiveness, among others. All these symptoms generate repercussions such as poor professional performance, physical and mental exhaustion, and depersonalization, causing negative effects on the professional and social environments. CONCLUSIONS: This study made it possible to reflect on the process of illness of professionals regarding Burnout syndrome. It was possible to identify health professionals as a vulnerable population that needs attention from health service managers to carry out epidemiological investigations, in addition to actions of prevention and health promotion.

Models of Relationship between Emotional, Spiritual, Physical and Social Intelligence, Resilience and Burnout among High School Teachers

Burnout is a condition that can affect a person's work performance. Among the internal factors that contribute to burnout are emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence, social intelligence, physical intelligence and resilience. This study explores the relationship among these internal factors toward the occurrence of burnout. A relationship model between variable of study was created based on the findings of the study. Instruments related to emotional, spiritual, social and physical intelligence and burnout have been distributed to 377 students of secondary school teachers throughout Selangor as a sample of chosen research using random-stratified sampling and cluster sampling. This study utilizes two approaches in analyzing data, which consist of descriptive statistics of IBM SPSS software statistics 22.0 and inferential statistics using advanced modeling analysis Structured equations (SEM) through the software Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS) 22.0. The results of correlation analysis have shown that there is direct relationship for all intelligence factors against burn out. All variables have affected burnout except social intelligence. The findings of the study to demonstrate a model of emotional intelligence, social intelligence, physical intelligence, spiritual intelligence and resilience with burnout have reached the concurrence value. Teachers equip themselves with the intelligence and have resilience in carrying out its duties to increase the students' achievement, thereby encouraging their excellence. The predictor of emotional, spiritual, physical intelligence and burn-outs is an important indicator to certain stakeholder such as Ministry of Education Malaysia to improve vital elements to choose a teacher and courses that should be implemented to the teacher to prevent burnout from occurring.

Factors Associated with Burnout Syndrome in Multiprofessional Residents

Abstract: Introduction: Multiprofessional health residents deal with high stress daily, harming patient care, which can cause emotional and interpersonal reactions that contribute to the development of Burnout Syndrome, thus disclosing the importance of identifying the at-risk conditions for the syndrome and possible protection. The objectives of this study were to describe the occurrence of burnout, its impairment dimensions and the association with sociodemographic characteristics in multiprofessional residency professionals. Method: This is a descriptive research with a quantitative approach, conducted with multiprofessional health residents from public hospitals located in a capital of the Midwest region of Brazil. The ISB - Burnout Syndrome Inventory - was employed, using six indices (Positive Organizational Conditions, Negative Organizational Conditions, Emotional Exhaustion, Emotional Distancing, Dehumanization and Professional Achievement), associated with the assessment of sociodemographic characteristics such as gender, marital status, profession, previous work, change of city, living alone, having children, getting another degree, enjoying what you do in your free time, practicing physical activity, having a religion, undergoing a therapeutic process. The logistic regression method was used to verify the association between these characteristics and the diagnosis of burnout syndrome. A total of 134 residents participated in the survey. Results: The results showed that Emotional Exhaustion is present in 91% of participants; Emotional Distance in 89.6%; Dehumanization, in 61.9%; Professional Achievement in 11.2%; Positive Organizational Conditions, in 85.1%; and Negative Organizational Conditions, n 82.1%. A positive association was observed between taking simultaneous courses, male gender and living alone. Conclusion: It is observed that the practice of therapy can reduce the chance of developing the syndrome and it is concluded that there is a high prevalence of burnout syndrome in the assessed group, with it being a response to stress defined by the presence of exhaustion, distancing and dehumanization. Despite these results, the perception of professional achievement remains independent of stress.
