“…Un trabajo 26 refirió que las IBM supusieron mejoras significativas para trastornos de ansiedad y depresión a los tres meses, periodo de seguimiento mucho más corto que el del presente estudio. Un metaanálisis 27 señala que, en cinco de los catorce estudios analizados, las IBM consiguieron disminuir el estrés a corto plazo, recomendando estudios con seguimiento a largo plazo, como es el presente trabajo.…”

“…Research has shown that executive functions may be related to cognitive thinking, which is essential for proper clinical management by physicians. Studies on health care workers have found that occupational burnout is associated with EF impairments, particularly in inhibition, working memory, and decision making [ 37 ]. EF impairment makes it difficult to cope with new situations, causes difficulty in focusing attention [ 38 ], consequently reduce the productivity of medical workers [ 39 , 40 ], and leads to potential medical errors.…”

Purpose:In this article we consider the impact of mindfulness as an effective method of coping with stress and review the available literature on this topic; in addition, we share our 5 years of experience working with final year medical students. Views: Working in a hospital is a demanding and stressful job. Despite the rapid development of new technologies, the number of medical errors is not decreasing. In this paper we look for effective methods to improve medical education with a focus on the effects of stress on situational awareness (SA) and executive functions (EF). This study provides information on the beneficial effects of mindfulness techniques that, by influencing EF and SA, can directly reduce physicians' errors. Conclusions: The authors of this paper contend that effective methods of coping with stress, including mindfulness, should be considered as an additional subject in the final years of medical education.

Objectives: To study the prevalence of burnout among non-health care workers (NHCW), the risk and protective factors and to quantify the risk of burnout. Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study on the 3142 NHCW of the University Hospital of Clermont-Ferrand. They received a self-assessment questionnaire. Results: Four hundred thirty seven (13.9%) NHCW completed the questionnaires. More than three quarter (75.4%) of NHCW was in burnout, with one in five (18.7%) having a severe burnout. Job demand was the main factor explaining the increase in exhaustion and overinvestment was the main factor explaining the increase in cynicism. Effort-reward imbalance (ERI) multiplied the risk of severe burnout by 11.2, job strain by 3.32 and isostrain by 3.74. Conclusion: NHCW from hospital staff are at high risk of burnout. The two major models of stress at work, the job demand-control-support and the ERI, were highly predictive of burnout, with strong dose-response relationships.
