Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a 4-week heart-based meditation practice wellness workshop on burnout and emotional wellness in corporate employees. Corporate employees can be defined as individuals who work in large institutions with greater than 300 employees. The specific aim of this study is to assess changes in scores measuring symptoms of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment using the Maslach Burnout Index. We hypothesize that the meditation wellness practice will be associated with reduction in burnout for those who take part in the meditation program in comparison to the participants who did not meditate and participate in the wellness program.

Ophthalmology physicians and residents work under stress conditions during night emergency ophthalmology shifts. Under time pressure, that is a characteristic of the urgency of care, they must use all their cognitive resources to make an accurate diagnosis and to provide accurate decisions, with sometimes surgical emergency acts. In addition, in France, they work at night following by an usual day work, and they can also work 48 consecutive hours during weekends, followed by a work day … i.e. 60 consecutive hours of work … Long working hours with a short recovery time has been demonstrated to be a major factor of stress and fatigue. Even if not demonstrated on ophthalmologists, those working conditions may contribute to symptoms of mental exhaustion and physical fatigue (sleep deprivation), often accompanied by a loss of motivation at work. This may leads to a feeling of loss of time control; stress can also distort the perception of time and leads to hasty actions or delayed decision-making. The combined effects of stress, feelings of loss of time control, and fatigue necessarily have an impact on work performance and work quality, with a high risk of medical error. Moreover, prolonged stress may expose ophthalmologists to a higher risk of multiple diseases, predominantly systemic inflammation and coronary heart disease. The main hypothesis is that prolonged work (up to 60 consecutive working hours) may impact on HRV, comparatively to a typical working day.
This study will be directed to determine the effectiveness of laser acupuncture(LA) and pelvic floor training (PFT) on stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in obese postmenopausal women. Forty obese postmenopausal women will be selected , suffering from mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence from mild to moderate stress urinary incontinence, their age ranges from 50-65 years old and the body mass index (BMI) ≥ 30 ≤ 40 Kg/m2. then separate randomly into two equivalent gatherings. The study group (A) will receive laser acupuncture therapy and pelvic floor training for 30 min every other day for 12 sessions (3 times per week). While the control group (B) maintaining their ordinary medical treatment. All participants will be assessed the pelvic floor muscles strength by using Modified oxford grading scale and perineometer before starting intervention and at the end of the 12th session.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an exceptional and particularly anxiety-provoking health situation. In particular, for healthcare professionals who come into contact with patients who are contaminated or suspected of contamination, such as emergency rooms. The management of these patients requires reinforced protective equipment. However, in the context of this pandemic, data is currently non-existent on the objective measurement of the stress of these professionals. Sinus variability of heart rate is a biomarker of stress measured with a simple heart rate monitor or a watch, completely painless, non-intrusive, and used by the general public routinely in many areas (monitoring sports sessions, etc.).

The effect of probiotics on stress and cognitive function in healthy adults with moderate stress
First responders (law enforcement, firefighters, and emergency medical system personnel) are subjected to daily pressures from their duties with resultant compassion fatigue, burnout, anger, poor mental and physical health, maladaptive behavior, and sleep disturbance. The unprecedented heroin and opioid epidemic in West Virginia has accelerated the stresses as these first responders witness overdoses and overdose death on a frequent basis. The plight and suffering of children of the overdose victims is an additional overlooked element in the stress on the first responder community. The proposed project will deliver mindfulness-based resilience training to improve the mental and physical wellbeing, prevent compassion fatigue, burnout, and attrition of first responders and performance improvement by reducing predictable cognitive errors in the Charleston and Huntington areas and measure the effects of this training on this population using validated questionnaires and salivary cortisol before and after the training.
