Filter by:The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed the surgical trainee experience by exacerbating the difficulty of this notoriously stressful training, while limiting access to traditional avenues of mental health support. The investigators propose the application of a mobile app-based mindfulness program to address stress and burnout in the surgical training. The proposed study is a prospective randomized, observer-blinded study including surgical trainees at the University of Ottawa in their first and second years of training. The intervention group will receive free access to the mobile app Headspace and will be encouraged to access the app three times a week for 15 minutes.
Physician burnout is a global issue characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low levels of personal accomplishment. Recent evidence suggests that organization-directed interventions were more likely to lead to reductions in burnout when compared to physician-directed interventions. More specifically, the leadership behaviors of the direct physician supervisor play a critical role in the well-being of physicians they supervise. As such, the aims of this project are: 1) To improve our understanding of the prevalence of burnout and professional satisfaction of physicians working at the Ottawa Hospital (TOH), and 2) To evaluate the relationship between the leadership qualities of direct physician supervisors (i.e. Division and Department Heads) and the well-being and burnout of their physicians. Specifically, a cross-sectional survey will be completed by physicians at TOH to assess their levels of burnout and satisfaction and the leadership qualities of their direct physician supervisors.
The objective of this study is to carry out a randomized clinical trial with healthcare workers in Mexico through a web platform. The intervention aims to reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, burnout, stress, compassion fatigue, and increase the quality of life and sleep and self-care, as well as improve skills in providing bad news to patients and their families. A self-applied intervention will be compared with an intervention delivered by therapists providing the same intervention implemented through Zoom, Skype, or Microsoft Teams, to ensure sanitary protection measures.
The goal of the Professional Development Coaching Program is to allow trainees to understand their development over time, find meaning and purpose in their work, and identify their strengths and how to use these to overcome challenges and stressors. Additionally, the program connects trainees with a faculty member who will work with them, grow to know them in-depth over time, and provide meaningful guidance throughout the relationship. There is an additional benefit to the coaches themselves, who are able to connect with other faculty coaches in a rewarding way, that provides faculty development in leadership development and positive psychology, and space to interact with a group of like-minded physicians.
Residents and interns are prone to emotional and physical exhaustion, also known as burnout. Burnout has not been studied much in physicians working in lower-middle income countries. We conducted this cross-sectional study at two institutes to determine the burden of burnout among internal medicine residents and to identify triggering and protective factors associated with burnout. An abbreviated version of the Maslach Burnout scale was used to measure burnout, and protective and triggering factors were recorded according to known factors.
Mind body exercises have long been used as a way for individuals to reduce stress and improve well-being. Recent studies indicate that yogic breathing (YB, also known as pranayama) could potentially impact both the mind and body by engaging both the physiological and neural elements and can thus be a specific tool that can be utilized by healthcare workers to combat burnout and decrease perceived levels of stress. Our aim is to understand and measure both subjectively and objectively the effects of long-term yogic breathing on stress levels in anesthesia personnel. This will be a single arm longitudinal trial designed to evaluate the feasibility and estimate the efficacy of implementing a yogic breathing program for stress reduction among anesthesiology practitioners at one academic medical center. The primary aim of the trial is to estimate the correlation between participant stress with average duration of yogic breathing over time. Secondarily the feasibility of implementing yogic breathing practices among anesthesiology practitioners will be evaluated. Feasibility measures will include recruitment rates, retention at 1year follow-up, and adherence to the yogic breathing program at 12 months.
Health professionals are extremely exposed to psychosocial risks, as they experience, in general, high levels of stress, anxiety, fatigue and suffering, due to the nature and location of their work. As a result, the health and well being of these professionals can be significantly compromised. In outbreaks of serious infectious diseases and pandemics, these risks become amplified and the health team is at greater risk of falling ill, presenting changes in mental health and psychological trauma, while caring for infected patients and becoming potential contaminants in their family and community. The objective is to study the mental health of professionals who work in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) in Brazil, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary outcome will be the prevalence of burnout in the team involved with the care of critically ill children. Secondary outcomes such as anxiety, depression, quality of professional life, compassionate fatigue and post-traumatic stress disorder will be measured. Possible associations between demographic, work and coping variables (social support and resilience) with mental and emotional health outcomes will be investigated, in an exploratory character. It is a multicenter, observational, longitudinal study, with a descriptive and exploratory analytical component. Data collection will be carried out through an electronic survey during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel coronavirus detected in Wuhan, China on December 2019. This virus is responsible for the infectious respiratory disease called Covid-19. The psychological effects of this epidemic are found among the general population, but also healthcare workers. Some studies have shown that psychological disorders such as stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, insomnia, denial, anger and fear, post-traumatic stress disorder are emerging among healthcare workers. However, there is currently insufficient data to evaluate the burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of the covid-19 epidemic on stress and burnout on healthcare workers and their coping strategies.
This is a pilot randomized waitlist control trial assessing if the feasibility of using a mobile mindfulness app to treat emotional distress and burnout amongst nurses taking care of COVID-19 patients. This trial will help inform the study team if dissemination the intervention to a large number of nurses in a short time period is feasible, and if the intervention has evidence of a clinical impact.
In this study, the investigators aim to examine the effects of art therapy in reducing burnout in healthcare providers. Using the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel, the investigators will measure burnout in Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) providers before and after the administration of a 4-week art therapy group.
