Abstract:Burnout is a professional syndrome associated with stress caused by overwork. Our aim was to calculate the prevalence of burnout and stress on medical residents of Oncology, Haematology and Radiotherapy in Portugal, as well as to determine predictors of burnout and stress. An anonymous questionnaire was applied (n = 118). Statistical analysis consisted of a descriptive and inferential analysis. The prevalence of burnout and stress was calculated to be 45.2 and 50%, respectively. The dimensions that generated h… Show more
“…Although JSM-Gevaluates a number of different aspects, most of the items of the questionnaire are related to workload, which is considered to be the most important stressor leading to higher burnout levels amongst residents. Studies from different countries like Japan, [26] Portugal, [27] Greece [24, 25] and Malaysia [28] revealed similar findings, indicating overwork as the most important predictor for residents burnout. Moreover, a number of studies have shown that the amount of responsibilities and stressors related to career development, that JSM-G also evaluates, are strongly related to residents’ exhaustion [24, 28].…”
Objective
A number of risk and protective factors have been described on the development of burnout syndrome amongst medical residents. The current study aims to investigate the impact of hospital educational environment and occupational stress on trainee doctors burnout. A cross-sectional study among 269 medical residents was conducted. Greek version of Postgraduate Hospital Educational Environment Measure (PHEEM-G) for the assessment of their educational environment, Greek Version of Job Stress Measure (JSM-G) for the stress assessment and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) for burnout measurement were used.
Results
Medical residents’ perceptions about their educational environment are rather negative. Their job-related stress ranged between moderate and high levels, while burnout ranged in medium levels. A significant positive association was observed between total CBI and its subscales and stress. Positive evaluation of the clinical learning environment was inversely related with burnout levels. Job stress was correlated independently and positively with higher total burnout levels and its’ three dimensions. Work-related burnout was independently and negatively related with social support.

“…The strongest relationship was between burnout and stress, a relationship well-described in the literature with regard to health care workers in general. 36,47,48 Understanding the factors that predict burnout may offer us important targets in prevention. While perceived stress was the most strongly correlated factor related to burnout in crosssectional analysis, it was not significantly predictive of confidence in providing compassionate care or burnout in regression analysis over our 3-month study period after controlling for their baseline scores.…”
Residency is a high-risk period for physician burnout. We aimed to determine the short-term stability of factors associated with burnout, application of these data to previous conceptual models, and the relationship of these factors over 3 months. Physician wellness questionnaire results were analyzed at 2 time points 3 months apart. Associations among variables within and across time points were analyzed. Logistic regression was used to predict burnout and compassionate care. A total of 74% of residents completed surveys. Over 3 months, burnout (P = .005) and empathy (P = .04) worsened. The most significant cross-sectional relationship was between stress and emotional exhaustion (time 1 r = 0.61, time 2 r = 0.68). Resilience was predictive of increased compassionate care and decreased burnout (P < .05). Mindfulness was predictive of decreased burnout (P < .05). Mitigating stress and fostering mindfulness and resilience longitudinally may be key areas of focus for improved wellness in pediatric residents. Larger studies are needed to better develop targeted wellness interventions.
“…The “professional supervision,” seen as necessary by some social workers, as a moment of reflection and professional and emotional support, is perceived as a “challenge” as it is not present in all services. However, the supervision tool would allow to address some of the critical issues (Matyushkina, 2019; Rae et al, 2017) highlighted by social workers such as “overwork,” “lack of competence,” and a “sense of abandonment,” which in the literature are considered factors that can lead to work burnout (George-Levi et al, 2020; Joaquim et al, 2018). Indeed, according to Robinson (2013), the professional supervision function, due to the ethically demanding nature of the work and the impact on the health of social workers, improves support for those who work in particular with asylum seekers and refugees.…”
Purpose: The objective of this research is to investigate the perception that migrant families and social workers have of their relationship and of the services offered and received in the reception path. Method: The qualitative research involved thirty parents with semi-structured family interviews and their twelve reference social workers, with focus group. The collected materials were transcribed verbatim and analysed through the grounded theory, using the NVivo software. Results: Results highlighted strengths, critical issues and challenges, some shared between social workers and families, like the sense of mutual trust and the perception of abandonment and loneliness. Others were expressed only by social workers as a greater attention to families, or by families as the possibility of social-health services. Conclusion: Many of the practical implications have been discussed such as the supervision of social workers, the widespread hospitality and the development of skills of social workers but also of families for social and work integration.
