“…Regarding gender differences, our results show that females scored higher than males only in two burnout dimensions: psychophysical exhaustion and job ineffectiveness, partially in line with previous studies in which the female gender was associated with higher levels of emotional exhaustion than the male gender (Vitale et al, 2020;Richards et al, 2021). However, it is important to note that the gender-burnout relationship is still unclear.…”

“…The authors highlight the importance of nurses' abilities to perceive and regulate their emotions while being aware of and empathizing with others' emotions (Soto-Rubio et al, 2020). Several studies conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic took into account EI as a protective factor against psychosocial risks such as burnout and psychosomatic complaints and a favorable effect on job satisfaction (Soto-Rubio et al, 2020;Lisigurski et al, 2021;Richards et al, 2021;Zeb et al, 2021;Shariatpanahi et al, 2022), but to our knowledge, no study on the relationship between trait EI, burnout, and hopelessness has been conducted yet.…”

ObjectiveThe study aims to assess the impact of COVID-19 on healthcare workers’ work-related stress during the first wave of the pandemic in Italy. The main objective is to investigate the existence of a positive correlation between hopelessness and burnout, assuming that burnout may be a risk factor for the development of hopelessness, and to analyze the role that trait Emotional Intelligence (TEI) and changes in workload could have in this relationship. Furthermore, evaluate any significant differences in burnout and hopelessness levels in the function of some demographic variables, such as gender, professional profiles, and different working zones of Italy, to better understand how the diverse diffusion of pandemic had affected Italian healthcare workers.MethodsAn online survey was used to collect data between April and June, 2020, with 562 responses among nurses (52.1%) and physicians (47.9%). Demographics and changes in workload and work conditions were collected through an ad hoc questionnaire. The Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire-Short Form (TEIQue-SF), The Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), and the Link Burnout Questionnaire (LBQ) were used to assess Trait Emotional Intelligence (TEI), hopelessness, and burnout, respectively.ResultsCorrelation analysis showed a significant positive relationship between hopelessness and each burnout dimension. TEI showed negative correlations both with burnout dimensions and hopelessness. Significant differences in burnout and hopelessness levels emerged as a function of some demographic variables such as gender, professional profiles (nurses or physicians), and different working zone of Italy (northern or southern). Results showed that TEI partially mediated the relationship between hopelessness and every burnout dimension, while the interaction of changes in workload was non-significant.DiscussionThe mediating role of TEI in the burnout-hopelessness relationship partly explains the protective role that individual factors had on healthcare workers’ mental health. Our findings support the need to integrate considerations on both psychological risk and protective factors into COVID-19 care, including the monitoring of psychological symptoms and social needs, especially among healthcare workers.

“…The risk of burnout, stress, depression, anxiety, medical errors, drug abuse, self-harm, violent behavior, addiction, and even suicide is high among physicians, especially female physicians, and in general, both genders are at up to seven times higher risk of suicide than the general population (Mikolajczak, Petrides, & Hurry, 2009;Dutheil et al, 2019;Kalmoe et al, 2019;Nyarko et al, 2020;Henning, Crane, Taylor, & Parker, 2021;Hawton et al, 2001;Ventriglio, Watson, & Bhugra, 2020). In general, EI was found to have a significant inverse relationship with burnout, depression, personality disorder, and psychopathy and a significant positive relationship with better stress coping strategies and better academic perfor-mance, leading studies to recommend that organizations measure residents' EI and train them on how to improve it (Weinstein, 2011;Montvilaitė & Antinienė, 2020;Jauk, Freudenthaler, & Neubauer, 2016;El-Khodary et al, 2021;Khesroh et al, 2022;Krajniak et al, 2018;Richards et al, 2021;Lin et al, 2016b;Cofer et al, 2018).…”

“…Burnout prevalence among residents in the United States is up to 74%, with higher levels in females (Kalmoe et al, 2019;Richards et al, 2021), and in Saudi plastic surgery, residents' burnout rates were found to be 38% (Bin Dahmash et al, 2019). Additionally, depression is another major issue among residents; where it was found that up to 50.8% of residents suffered from depression in the US (Lin et al, 2016a), and residents with depression were 6.2 times more likely to have medical errors (Kalmoe et al, 2019).…”

Background: Emotional Intelligence (EI) and style of thinking (Rational style, RS and Experiential style, ES) are stable constructs that could be used to highlight how we think and behave, which is extremely important, especially in the healthcare sector, as it is complex and human-dependent. This study explored the EI and style of thinking of Saudi residents together with demographic data to see how they could relate and the implications of this on residents and patient safety. Design: This was a cross-sectional study. Methods: A sample (of 245) with different specialty backgrounds was used. Participants completed an online self-report survey, which included demographic information, followed by questionnaires to measure their thinking style and emotional Intelligence. Results: The main findings were a positive and significant correlation between RS and EI: rs = .482, n = 245, p < .001, and a positive and significant correlation between ES and EI: rs = .326, n = 245, p < .001. Additionally, there was a significant relationship between error rate and RS style of thinking: H (1) = 7.597, p = .006, and a significant relationship between error rate and EI: U = 5619.000, z = −3.387, p < .001. Conclusion: Medical Organizations could benefit from assessing their healthcare workers' EI and thinking style to understand their differences and behaviors toward healthier workers and better patient care outcomes.

“…Hay factores que pueden corregirse para crear un mayor equilibrio entre la vida laboral y personal, como por ejemplo el tener el número de personal adecuado en el lugar de trabajo, tiempo suficiente para labores administrativas, apoyo del supervisor directo, tiempo suficiente para continuar los estudios y capacitaciones médicas, tener la habilidad para separar las cosas del trabajo de las cosas personales, así como la habilidad para poder avanzar en la carrera. La inteligencia emocional está relacionada negativamente con el burnout y empodera a las personas para poder hallar este equilibrio (Richards et al, 2021).…”

Background: Burnout syndrome and depression constitute a concern to healthcare workers, particularly for those who care for patients in the emergency room and intensive care units, due to the physical and mental health wear. Emotional intelligence provides skills to help health professionals adapt to new situations in positive ways. This investigation will evaluate the association between burnout syndrome, depression, emotional intelligence and health behaviors in healthcare workers. Methodology: This is a correlational crosssectional cohort study with a population made up of healthcare workers from IESS Duran hospital, Ecuador, with a sample of 202 employees. Several surveys are used to determine demographic data, as well as clinical data such as anthropometric measurements and vital signs. Other surveys are also used: The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24) and the PHQ-9 depression screening questionnaire.Results: 71.2% of the participants had significant scores in at least one MBI subscale. 10.6% show high emotional exhaustion, 23.7% have high depersonalization and 50.5% have low personal fulfillment. 12.4% demonstrated burnout traits and 11.4% had moderate to severe levels of depression, indicating that there is positive associat ion between burnout and depression. On the other hand, emotional intelligence appears negatively associated with burnout and depression. The regression analysis indicates that high depression scores are explained by the combined effect of excessive emotional fatigue, high burnout, and low emotional repair. Conclusion: Healthcare workers are exposed to high levels of responsibility, suffering in patients and death, which happens more particularly when a health crisis occurs. This leads to a higher risk of burnout and depression. It is necessary to implement individual and organizational protection strategies that enhance emotional intelligence, as a way to avoid these psychosocial risks.
