Filter by:The prevalence of burnout and other forms of distress among physicians is alarmingly high. This clinical trial is being conducted to learn more about if wearing a Smartwatch and having access to its data improves physicians' sense of well-being and if data measured from Smartwatches contain a 'signal' that predicts well-being
Burnout syndrome has been recognized as a mental illness since 2020. All workers can be affected. The consequences are multiple and often serious, ranging from stoppage of work to depression or even suicide. According to a 2019 survey by Malakoff, 56% of employees are in "professional or personal fragility", but the statistics are incomplete. In the medical community, the burnout rate is doubled compared to the general population. The diagnosis of pre-burnout can precede a burnout by several months, an early treatment can then reduce complications and improve the quality of life at work. On a study model on health data already carried out as part of a cancer detection application in smokers which involved 7000 users and which showed the ability to of such an application to detect curable symptomatic cancers from questionnaires (24% with application against 9% without application), we will carry out a descriptive evaluation of the use of an application to detect pre-burnout, burnout and depressive syndrome in a worker population. In the event of a risk alert of pre-burnout, burnout or depressive syndrome, the application will display a message to the user suggesting that he consult his general practitioner or put him in contact with a doctor through a teleconsultation via a dedicated platform. This first study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of an early detection approach among professionals of a state of "fragility" (pre-burnout, burnout or depressive syndrome). Subsequently, a larger study will evaluate the effectiveness of this application for the early detection of burnout among professionals, its management and the reduction of costs for the healthcare system and society.
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.
BACKGROUND The burnout syndrome among health care workers frequently rises to prevalence above 50%. One of the consequences most supported by the literature is the impoverishment of the therapeutic alliance, triggered by a loss of empathy of the clinician towards the patient due to the emotional exhaustion he or she suffers. The main factors that influence the presence of this pathology are stressors related to the organization of work. However, this equation is also influenced by individual factors that can be acted upon and which are often the only tools available for professionals. Due to the widely supported relationship of empathy, burnout and therapeutic alliance, the investigators decided to carry out a complex training plan focused on personal development in teaching units of Family and Community Care in Spain. RESEARCH QUESTION Is effective an intervention aimed to promoting the development of personal skills throughout the training of family and community care doctors and nurses? METHOD Pre-post study, comparing two educational interventions, one face-to-face (N=90) and other online (N=70), with a control group (N=170). Participants: All physicians and nurse trainees on Primary Health Care in three Spanish Health Regions who wish to participate in the study. The face-to-face intervention consists of 3 annual workshops, while the online one will be carried out by adapting the theoretical contents of the face-to-face intervention for online use and will pursue the same objectives and be fed by the same contents. The variation in the level of empathy will be quantified by means of the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) questionnaire, adjusted by burnout (Copenhagen questionnaire) and other variables such as resilience (Connor-Davidson), locus of control, social support (Oslo-3), sense of coherence (OLQ-13), age, sex, personality (Ten Item Personality Inventory, TIPI-SP) and other organisational factors. Statistical analysis with generalized lineal models and generalized additive models.
The main objective of this study is to assess the burnout prevalence among French general practitioners in private practice. As secondary outcomes, this study aim to measure the impact of sociodemographic variables, organizational practice models and workload. the investigators also intend to characterize the prevalence of depression, anxiety, fatigue and stress, drugs and alcohol consumption, use of psychotropic medication, and preferred strategies to cope with their symptoms.
Since February 2016, with the objective of improving the quality of life and the autonomy of residents, the Le Mans General Hospital uses an interactive "emotional" robot within its geriatric wards. This emotional robot, Paro, is equipped with a dozen sensors, 3 microphones and interacts with its user: it reacts to touch, voice and heat making small sounds and moves its head, fins and tail. The algorithm that governs Paro's behavior allows him to offer a behavioral answer adapted to the user's stimuli. Thus, Paro is able to communicate beneficial emotions to patients. To this day however there is no published study exploring the effect of such a robot on team dynamics among caregivers in hospital units. Our research aims at highlighting the benefits that a healthcare team perceives when working with this tool among patients suffering from dementia.
This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week program in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in reducing work absences and improving the well-being of healthcare workers. Half of participants will be healthcare employees who are frequently absent from work, whereas the other half will be healthcare employees with normal attendance patterns. All participants will undergo MBSR training and the outcomes of both groups will be evaluated.
The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and feasibility of an integrated, prescriptive, and trackable wellness intervention amongst resident physicians combining five wellness elements including exercise, mindfulness, sleep, social connectedness, and nutrition.
Emergency medicine is notorious for its high rate of burnout and mental health issues. The emergency department (ED) is a high paced work environment dealing with life and death issues. Employees in the ED work shift times that are not conducive to a natural circadian rhythm. All of these factors lead to high rates of burnout and overall dissatisfaction with their career choice. These are known downsides of a career in emergency medicine, but little effort is put into addressing this issue in everyday EDs. Cell phones offer an easy and convenient means to participate in meditation. There are multiple evidence-based meditation apps available to cell phone users free of charge. Meditation has been shown to decrease burnout, rates of depression, and rates of anxiety. We hypothesize that weekly use of a meditation-based cell phone application will improve the mental health of emergency department employees as measured on various wellness inventories.
The Behaviour Change Institute (BCI) was created in 2008 within Capital Health to provide healthcare providers with evidence-based skills in helping patients change. In addition, the BCI has also become a resource within the organization to assist with other needed changes, such as helping healthcare providers use new or different procedures to provide better patient care. Through our work at the BCI we have identified the need to help healthcare providers to better cope with change. The purpose of this project is to implement and to evaluate an evidence-based professional resiliency training program for staff to help them better cope with change. This professional resiliency training program is based on an empirically supported form of therapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. The training takes the form of a hands-on, applied workshop designed to increase resiliency and flexibility in a workplace setting.
