Filter by:Nurses who intensive care unit will be entered. Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms: Arm 1: Progressive muscle relaxation; Arm 2: control. Hypothesis: Progressive muscle relaxation will decrease occupational stress, headache and improve well-being.
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.
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.
This study aims to assess current health and fitness of law enforcement workers in various roles, and to evaluate the impact of an exercise intervention on markers on physical and mental wellbeing in this population. The intervention will consist of an exercise programme specifically targeted at improving, physical fitness and reducing musculoskeletal pain. Participants will be randomised to three groups: a face to face intervention group, an online intervention group an a control group. Self-reported physical health, musculoskeletal complaints, quality of sleep and occupational stress will be measured via questionnaires. Pre and post measures of fitness will be measured via functional strength testing and a cardiopulmonary exercise test. Pre and post cognitive function will be measured via computer-based cognitive tests and brain functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Systemic inflammation will be measured via hsCRP. Risk of typeII diabetes will be measured via HbA1c. Daily physical activity and quality of sleep will be measured via accelerometry and heart rate telemetry. It is hypothesised that, upon completion of the programme, there will be an improvement in cardiovascular fitness and physical strength, reduced musculoskeletal pain, improved cognitive readiness and improved overall mental health and wellbeing.
Although exposure to nature has restorative effects on human health, beneficial effects of nature-based interventions in the working environment have been underexplored. The investigators aim to conduct a randomised controlled pilot study. During workhours one group participates in a nature-based program, the other group is a control group. The investigators test stress-related parameters including cortisol levels, wellbeing and stress, and neurocognition.
Work-related stress is a problem due to its repercussions on workers' health and productivity, which is why workplace interventions are required to reduce stress levels through coping techniques. One of the interventions in mental health to reduce levels of work stress are those based on the Internet and mobile applications, with proven effectiveness. Among the interventions are cognitive-behavioral therapies and within these the Problem Solving Therapy (PST). Therefore, there is a need to study the effect of Problem Solving Therapy offered through a web platform on the levels of self-perceived stress. However, there have been no studies on mental health interventions such as the TSP for the reduction of stress levels in office workers. For this reason, the objective of the study is to determine, through a randomized cluster trial, the effectiveness of problem-solving therapy offered through a web platform on self-perceived stress levels. Two scales will measure the levels of stress; one for self-perceived stress and another for work-related stress. Workers who have a high score on both scales will be enrolled. The establishments assigned to the intervention will receive the TSP distributed in 4 sessions. The establishments in the control group would have access to a web page with information on stress management. Immediately after having finished the last session, self-perceived stress levels will be evaluated. One month later a new measurement will be made to evaluate the persistence of the effect.
Ocular trauma are a real public health issue. According to WHO, it is estimates at 750,000 hospital admissions per year in the world for ocular trauma, including 200,000 for open globe injuries in the world. Consequences can be severe with a significant number of definitive low vision or blindness which can lead to professionnal reclassifications for active patients. However, no study exists on professional consequences of those ocular trauma. Some studies showed that fonctionnal loss of an eye can also have psychological consequences such as post traumatic depression or can impair the quality of life but studies are scarce on this subject. The primary objective is to study the professional reclassification of workers at least 6 months after their hospitalization for ocular trauma. Secondary objectives are to assess, at least 6 months after an hospitalized ocular trauma, characteristics of eye injuries, characteristics of patients, mid-term consequences at work after eye injury and on personal aspects.
