Burnout Syndrome In Professionals Research Articles

Occupational burnout of health care workers in a specialised COVID hospital setting

The aim is to evaluate the peculiarities of the development of professional burnout (PB) among physicians of therapeutic and surgical specialties, as well as middle medical workers, specialised red zones, as well as its prediction and prevention in this category of workers. Material and methods. The following groups of medical workers were examined: the 1st group consisted of doctors of therapeutic specialities (GPs) working in the red zone (n=111); the 2nd group consisted of doctors of surgical specialities (MDs) working in the ‘red zone’ (n=61); the 3rd group consisted of nurses working in the red zone (n=29); the 4th group – the control group included workers of engineering, technical and economic specialities not related to work in medical organisations (n=190). Professional burnout syndrome was assessed using the Maslach Burnout questionnaire and V.V. Boyko’s technique of diagnosing the level of burnout [4, 5]. The data were processed using Statistica statistical package by StatSoft (USA). Results. It was found that the work of therapeutic and surgical doctors, as well as middle medical workers of specialised red zones, is connected with the exposure of medical workers to a number of specific risk factors related to the provision of medical care to infected patients, as well as with significant changes in the work regarding aspects related to organisation, safety, which contribute to the increase in the level of stress and the increase in the level of SP. Conclusions. The work of physicians of therapeutic and surgical specialities, as well as middle medical workers of specialised red zones, is associated with an increase in the level of professional stress and the level of SP. It is necessary to continue the research of emotional state of medical doctors and average medical workers working in conditions of extreme epidemic situations with the purpose of timely preventive treatment for preservation of health of medical workers.

Вплив емоційного вигорання на поведінку персоналу

The article is devoted to «emotional burnout syndrome» and «professional burnout syndrome». The similarities and differences between these concepts are considered. The author presents models of professional burnout caused by stress and overwork, emotional burnout caused by stress and overwork, and imbalance in the employee’s personal life. Two groups of emotional and professional burnout symptoms are described – physical and behavioral. Attention is paid to the characterization of behavioral manifestations in the presence of two syndromes, under the influence of the depressive triad (low mood, inhibited intellectual activity, motor inhibition). In particular, the manifestations of incorrect, erroneous thinking in personnel (maximalism, overgeneralization, unfounded conclusions, selective perception, conclusions based on emotions, exaggerated sense of responsibility, personalization) are characterized. The author identifies and describes the dynamics of burnout, which includes six stages, according to G. Freudenberger’s research, whose views are shared by modern researchers on this problem. The desire to be liked and to join the team forces the employee to push himself in order to increase personal effectiveness; then he begins to feel external pressure on himself; then the employee begins to ignore his own needs and loses touch with himself; the employee worries fails and forces himself to work even harder and more, but physically and psychologically is no longer capable of practical work, so he begins to blame himself. Accordingly, the types of employees who have experienced professional burnout are characterized: «The Overachiever,» «The Taskmaster,» «The Perfectionist,» «The Micromanager,» «The Competitor,» «The People Pleaser,» «The Ruminator.» An attempt has been made to outline measures to prevent professional burnout by the company’s management and employees. Among the means of preventing and combating professional burnout on the part of the employer are moderate deadlines and indicators of planned productivity; resource support for the implementation of tasks; formation and maintenance of a favorable moral and psychological microclimate in the team; material and moral incentives, according to individual results, etc. The means of preventing and counteracting professional burnout at the employee level include self-knowledge and self-determination, horizontal career, etc. Keywords: emotional burnout, professional burnout, behavior, stress, staff, depressive triad, employee type.

Management of professional stress of personnel at the organizational level

The problem of timely prevention of occupational stress is relevant for most organizations. In the article, the authors consider the problem of improving the methods of stress management of the organization of the service sector in order to prevent organizational and psychosocial risks (stress factors) in modern socio-economic conditions. The purpose of this study is to form organizational and socio–psychological recommendations for the prevention of occupational stress and professional burnout syndrome of personnel of service organizations. The study analyzes scientific publications of Russian scientists on the problem of improving stress management methods at the level of an employee’s personality and at the level of an organization. Based on the method of expert assessments, the organizational and psychosocial stress factors of the organization’s personnel are determined. Based on the MAI method, the most significant organizational and socio-psychological recommendations for improving methods of preventing occupational stress have been identified. A mathematical model has been developed for predicting the impact of occupational stress on the employee satisfaction index of a service sector organization.

The Burn Out of Health Professional: Case of the Tominian Health District

The health of the population is one of the priority sectors of the Malian state authorities. The implementation at the operational level of socio-health activities by health professionals remains a challenge given working conditions and societal realities. This situation in an unfavorable environment exposes these professionals to the development of burnout. Observation: It was a health professional, 48 years old, a civil servant for 10 years in the district, having consulted for insomnia, osteoarticular pain and anorexia. Mood disorders, nervousness, palpitations, physical asthenia persisting for 7 months had been observed. Several consultations and assessments carried out without success. The persistence of the symptoms and the negativity of the assessments made it possible to raise the hypothesis of a professional burnout syndrome. A treatment based on rest over 1 month combined with anxiolytics for 15 days allowed the symptoms to improve. Follow-up for 11 months was unremarkable. Conclusion: The workload, the insufficiency in the organization, the planning of activities and sometimes the failure of the patient to fulfill their duties in our structures are determining factors in the occurrence of burnout among health professionals. Sufficient recruitment of professionals at the operational level, health education and the implementation of an adequate work plan could reduce this risk.

Личностные факторы профессионального выгорания у школьных учителей

<p style="text-align: justify;">The relevance. There is a lack of information in the scientific literature about predictors of professional burnout among schoolteachers. This complicates psychological work to prevent and overcome professional burnout syndrome, which is a consequence of significant physical and psychological overload among modern teachers. The aim. To identify the most significant personal factors of professional burnout among schoolteachers. Study design. The article analyzes the relationship between the professional burnout of schoolteachers and such personal factors as the professional motivation of teachers, their meaningful life orientations, strategies for coping behavior, satisfaction with various aspects of pedagogical activity. Materials and methods. The study involved 409 teachers of secondary schools in Moscow and the Moscow region aged 23 to 65 years. The following questionnaires were used: «Professional Burnout» questionnaire, «Life Orientations Test», «Job Satisfaction Components Questionnaire», «Coping Methods Questionnaire», «Professional Motivation Questionnaire». Data analysis was carried out using correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results. It is shown that the socio-psychological qualities of the individual, necessary for building the pedagogical interaction of the teacher with other participants in educational relations, primarily with the parents of students, are of high importance for reducing the risk of professional burnout. The most significant personal factors that are predictors of professional burnout among schoolteachers with different indicators of burnout have been identified (dissatisfaction with interaction with students’ parents, the predominance of controlled motivation for work, preference for unconstructive strategies for coping with problematic situations, a feeling of unfulfillment and inability to fully manage one’s life). Conclusions. Psychological, advisory and psychotherapeutic assistance to schoolteachers can be expanded by correcting work motivation, using positive reappraisal and non-confrontation to cope with difficult situations, and teaching effective means of communication with other participants in educational relations.</p>

Prevalence of burnout syndrome in rehabilitation health professionals during COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study

Background Burnout syndrome is the result of prolonged occupational stress. Working under high-stress conditions further exacerbated by COVID-19 may impose an additional psychological burden on rehabilitation health professionals (RHPs) and affect their psycho-social health. Objectives This study was conducted to determine the burnout levels of RHPs working during the COVID-19 pandemic and to examine its relationship with various clinical and demographic data. Methods In this cross-sectional study, participants were asked to fill out an anonymous questionnaire containing demographic information and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Three sub-dimensions of burnout; emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP) and personal achievement (PA) were evaluated. Results A total of 84 participants, most of whom were physiotherapists (56%), attended in the study. The rate of participants experiencing burnout was found to be 25%. The mean score was 20 ± 13.1, 6.7 ± 5.4, and 27.8 ± 10.1 for the EE, DP, and PA subgroups, respectively. Proportionally, 28.6% of participants had high burnout levels for the EE subgroup, 27.4% for the DP subgroup, and 60.7% for the PA subgroup. The mean DP scores were statistically significantly higher in females (p < 0.05). Conclusions This study is one of the few studies examining the frequency and components of burnout syndrome in RHPs in the COVID-19 pandemic. Burnout was observed in RHPs at levels of up to 25% in the general evaluation and up to 60.7% in the subgroup analysis. Occupational burnout is a health problem that needs attention for RHPs and should be evaluated more carefully in the presence of additional stressors such as COVID-19.

Prevalence and factors associated with burnout syndrome in Peruvian health professionals before the COVID-19 pandemic: A systematic review

IntroductionBurnout syndrome (BS) is a prevalent occupational health problem in health professionals. To describe the prevalence and factors associated with BS in Peruvian health professionals. MethodA systematic review and meta-analysis were performed. The key terms “burnout” and “professional exhaustion” were used with words related to Peru. The databases consulted were LILACS/Virtual Health Library, Medline/PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO, Scopus, SciELO, and RENATI-SUNEDU; articles published between January 2000 to December 2020 were considered for inclusion. Methodological quality was evaluated using the Newcastle–Ottawa scale. ResultsThirty studies were identified (8 scientific articles and 22 graduate theses). The median sample size was 78, with an interquartile range of 50–110. A meta-analysis was performed to calculate a dichotomic prevalence of burnout syndrome in health professionals of 25 % (95%CI: 9 %–45 %; I2 = 97.14 %; 5 studies). Also, our meta-analysis estimated the overall prevalence of mild burnout (27 %; 95%CI: 16%–41 %; I2 = 96.50 %), moderate burnout (48 %; 95%CI: 32%–65 %; I2 = 97.54 %), and severe burnout (17 %; 95%CI: 10%–24 %; I2 = 92.13 %; 18 studies). We present meta-analyses by region, profession, hospital area, and by dimension of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Overall, the studies presented adequate levels of quality in 96.7 % of the included studies (n = 29). In addition, our narrative review of factors associated with BS and its three dimensions identified that different studies find associations with labor, socio-demographic, individual, and out-of-work factors. ConclusionsThere is a higher prevalence of moderate BS in Peruvian health professionals at MINSA and EsSalud hospitals in Peru, with severity differing by region of Peru, type of profession, work area, and dimensions of BS.

The Relationship between Professional Variables and Burnout Syndrome in Brazilian Dentists during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Burnout syndrome (BS) is a highly prevalent occupational disease among dentists who, during the COVID-19 pandemic, have been at greater risk of contracting the disease, generating stress and distancing. The aim of this study was to assess the association of social conditions, professional factors and perceptions of COVID-19 with Burnout Syndrome. This was a cross-sectional study of 302 Brazilian dentists working in the clinical and private sectors. The professionals completed the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory online and answered sociodemographic and professional questions and questions related to their perception of the pandemic. Poisson regression with unadjusted and adjusted robust variance was used to estimate the association between burnout syndrome (dependent variable) and the independent variables. The presence of BS was strongly associated with age, training in a private institution, professionals who claimed to have sufficient protective knowledge and fear of being contaminated by SARS-CoV-2 during patient care (p < 0.05). The findings of this study show that there has been an impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the occurrence of Burnout syndrome in dentists, especially, those who worked in the public sector and those who were afraid to work with other health professionals.

Impact of Burnout on Anaesthesiologists.

Professional burnout syndrome (PBS) is an issue affecting individuals and organizations alike, characterized by emotional exhaustion and reduced effectiveness resulting from overwhelming work demands. Root causes include excessive workload, unrealistic expectations, and blurred work-life boundaries, which are often intensified by organizational culture and inadequate support systems. The consequences range from decreased productivity and creativity to high turnover rates and financial strain on organizations. Mitigating PBS requires a comprehensive approach that addresses both individual and organizational levels. Individually, stress management techniques and self-care practices are crucial for building resilience and coping with work-related stressors. Organizations play a vital role in promoting employee well-being by fostering a supportive work environment, promoting work-life balance and providing access to support systems such as counseling and mentorship programs. Leadership is key in creating a culture that values employee health and prioritizes open communication and empathy. Policy interventions can further support efforts to combat PBS by enforcing labor laws that protect employee rights, such as setting limits on working hours and ensuring access to mental health services. Additionally, incentivise organizations to prioritize employee well-being through tax incentives or certification programs can encourage proactive measures against burnout. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive exploration of PBS, examining its causes, consequences, and potential mitigation strategies in individuals and organizations, with a focus on anaesthesiology.

Empathy as a predictor of burnout syndrome in health professionals of the Colombian Caribbean

IntroductionEmpathy is an essential skill in the doctor-patient relationship since it contributes to improve aspects of health care and patient satisfaction. Nevertheless, burnout research projects have been developed in recent years.ObjectivesTo examine the predictive capacity that empathy has on burnout syndrome in health professionals.Methods A non-experimental, cross-sectional design was proposed. The type of study was correlational-descriptive since it was sought out to explore a functional relation through the prognosis of a criterion variable. Sample: 200 (100 female and 100 male).ResultsFirst, the variance of cognitive and Affective Empathy was dug out in the emotional exhaustation criterion scale. Results accounted for 15% of variability in emotional exhaustation. (Corrected R 2 = .15, F = 17,56, p = 0,00). The best predictor of emotional exhaustation refers to Cognitive Empathy. (B = -.27, p = 0.00). It does not seem that Affective Empathy acts as a predictor variable of Emotional Exhaustation. (Table 1). Table 1Multiple linear regression analysis considering Emotional Exhaustation as a criterion.TECACorrected R2FBpCognitive Empathy.1517,5-.27**0,00Affective Empathy-.14.13The predictive capacity of Empathy in relation to Depersonalization was estimated (Corrected R 2 = .20, F = 25,4, p = 0.00). Cognitive and affective empathy were included as predictor variables and MBI as a criterion variable (Table 2). On one hand, the best predictor of Depersonalization is the Cognitive Empathy. On the other hand, regarding Affective Empathy, it does not act as a predictor of Depersonalization.

Working conditions and health status of school workers (literature review)

In recent years, the range of publications concerning the high likelihood of teachers developing syndromes of professional burnout and professional destruction has been increasingly expanding. This trend is almost equally characteristic of most countries over the world: from Great Britain, Germany, and Scandinavia in Europe to China, Japan in Asia and Nigeria in Africa, and, over the last decade, in Russia. In other words, the problem under consideration is global in nature and depends little on the level of economic development of the country and its ethno-geographical characteristics.&#x0D; Purpose of work. Study foreign and domestic scientific literature directly related to the problems of creating working conditions and their impact on the health in education workers.&#x0D; The presented review is based on the publications of a number of domestic and foreign studies. The literature search was carried out using the databases Pubmed, Scopus, Web of Science, MedLine, RSCI. A total of forty two publications were analyzed for the period from 2001 to 2022. &#x0D; A systematic analysis of the world scientific literature was conducted on the management of events aimed at assessing the working conditions and health in teachers. The study examined various aspects related to the provision of medical care to education workers.&#x0D; After evaluating the results of the study, it became clear that there is some discrepancy between reports in the field of psychology and hygiene. In the first group of works devoted to the psychological aspect, insufficient attention is paid to the study of working conditions and their impact on the health of teachers, despite the widespread prevalence of professional burnout syndrome among the teaching community. At the same time, in the second group of studies devoted to hygienic aspects, the role of psychosocial factors influencing the health of teachers is not sufficiently addressed.&#x0D; Conclusion. In general, the analysis of the characteristics of working conditions and health of pedagogical workers allows concluding this topic to be relevant and in demand in the scientific world. It also highlights the need for further research and development in this area to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of related diseases.

Occupational burnout syndrome in physical therapists before and during covid 19: A systematic review

Introduction: The emergence of COVID-19, a viral pandemic, has significantly affected people at , many levels of their lives and especially their psychological state, an important factor in the emergence of Occupational Burnout Syndrome. Burnout syndrome in healthcare professionals is a global issue that affects both their health and performance and therefore the effective exercise of their function. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to analyze the occurrence rate of Occupational Burnout Syndrome (OBS) in physical therapists before and during the onset of COVID-19 and their comparison. Method: The international databases PubMed and Google scholar were searched in the English language with keywords “burnout syndrome AND physiotherapist AND COVID-19”. The article search was performed from October 2022 to December 2022. 11 open access journal research articles published from 2017 to 2022 were selected. The data collected were presented in the form of texts and tables using of Excel. Results: Eleven clinical studies were included in this review that applied a total of 1750 physical therapists. Of this sample, 861 were physical therapists in clinical studies conducted before COVID-19, while the remaining 889 were physical therapists in clinical studies that took into account the existence of COVID-19. It was observed that the rate of change in occurrence of SEE was 31.18%, with the SEE rate being increased in the second sample mentioned above. Conclusions: No other systematic review comparing specific data between physical therapists has been observed. However, since the clinical studies used for the period after the onset of COVID-19 are numerically fewer compared to those before the outbreak, and because only freely accessible articles were used, we cannot rely exclusively on the results of specific review.

PROBLEMS OF PROFESSIONAL BURNOUT AMONG LAWYERS

The problem of professional burnout has been in the center of numerous research for the last decades. Their results facilitated diagnosing the causes and consequences of this professional dysphoria. The majority of this research was focused on social occupations connected with intensive contacts with people. However, practicing lawyers who have a lot of social contacts by the nature of service and therefore especially suffer from burnout, have not been studied fully enough. The relevance of our study of this problem primarily lies in the need of further research of the professional burnout syndrome for its timely prevention and assistance to lawyers.&#x0D; The investigation of the professional burnout syndrome among that category of workers was carried out with the help of the MBI survey to determine the level of professional burnout according to the methods of Christina Maslach and Susan Jackson in adaptation of Natalia E. Vodopyanova based on the research of psychologists Charles Figley, Simon Philip Baron-Cohen, as well as Russian scholars. The respondents’ survey took place in the city of Vologda in February 2023 and the sampling population was more than 500 respondents.&#x0D; As a result the relationship of professional burnout with age and gender was determined. It turned out that working women are more prone to burnout than men, as they have additional emotional and physical burden connected with family chores. There is a description of depersonalization as a component of emotional burnout: inadequate attitude towards colleagues, irritability, loss of “idealism” and withdrawal into oneself. At the same time it was revealed that the impact of the psychological state of an individual employee on the whole team is insignificant. Specific recommendations for the prevention of the emotional burnout syndrome are suggested; the impact of professional burnout on the respondents’ general state of health was studied. Dependency of emotional burnout with empathy and features of the team are revealed. The most efficient ways of emotional burnout syndrome prevention are suggested. The results of the research can be used by psychologists who work with lawyers with emotional burnout symptoms and heads of organizations.

Doctor-Patient Communication In Clinical Trials With The Usage Of Mobile Technologies

As part of import substitution and the need to take a leading position in the production of medicines in the Russian pharmaceutical industry, clinical trials of drugs using mobile technologies are beginning to be carried out. Technological changes are accompanied by a transformation in the relationship between the doctor and the patient, where the patient becomes an active rather than a passive participant in the process. The key factors in the effectiveness of interaction are trust in the doctor and the degree of satisfaction with the healthcare system. In clinical trials using mobile technologies, the doctor-patient dyad is significantly expanded and includes the staff of the sponsoring organization, researchers who collect information about the participant’s condition using a mobile device, the participant reporting his/her conditions through mobile device, as well as family and medical staff providing additional information about the participant. It is necessary to study the factors of trust to health care provider in non-personal interaction and building the grounds to motivate doctors’ and patients’ usage of mobile technologies. The usage of mobile technologies makes it possible to reduce the “professional burnout syndrome” of health care providers from the repetitive nature of communication and replace it with digital technologies; makes it possible to receive information online and feedback from patients; increases adherence to treatment and adherence to doctor’s recommendations. The benefits of constant contact between the doctor and the patient through mobile technologies will contribute to building more trust in their interaction and increase satisfaction of the population with the quality of medical services.
