“…In contrast, a World Health Organization study found that only 13% of workers worldwide are fully engaged at work and the majority of nurses were dissatisfied with their work. In addition, 40% of health professionals (doctors, nurses, and midwives) would resign from their employment if they were not satisfied with their work [10]. This finding is consistent to that found by other researchers, who point out that the majority of employees do not have an optimal engagement level, especially in professions that require significant dedication and energy [11].…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the work engagement and burnout in healthcare professionals in a private health unit in Greece. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 151 professionals (doctors, nurses, administrative staff and professionals of other specialties). The questionnaire included demographic and work-related information and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and Maslach Burnout Inventory. Analysis was performed by SPSS v.26. With regard to the work engagement, the participants presented a medium score in absorption and a medium to high score in vigor and dedication. In addition, they presented low score in depersonalization, a medium score in emotional exhaustion and a high score in personal accomplishment. Those who had a working contract for an indefinite period had higher score in all the dimensions of burnout. Vigor, dedication and absorption were negatively correlated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and positively with personal accomplishment. Healthcare professionals in private health sector in Greece present moderate work engagement and experience moderate levels of burnout. Work engagement is associated with burnout and plays an important role in its prevention. There are some significant differences in work engagement and burnout based on several demographic and work-related characteristics.

“…In contrast, a study conducted by the World Health Organization revealed that only 13% of workers worldwide are fully engaged in their work and that most nurses express dissatisfaction with their jobs. Furthermore, approximately 40% of health professionals, including doctors, nurses, and midwives, would contemplate leaving their current employment if they were dissatisfied with their work [5]. These findings align with those of other researchers who emphasize suboptimal engagement levels, especially in professions requiring substantial dedication and energy [6].…”

Work engagement represents a positive work-related state of mind characterized by three dimensions: Vigor (high levels of energy and mental resilience during work), Dedication (strong involvement in one’s work), and Absorption (complete-joyous immersion in one’s tasks). This study aimed to investigate work engagement and burnout in health professionals in a private healthcare unit in Greece. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 151 professionals, including doctors, nurses, administrative staff, and other health professionals involved in this setting. The study duration was four months (January–April 2022). The questionnaire covered sociodemographic and work-related information, along with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Regarding the subdimensions of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, participants demonstrated a moderate score in Absorption and medium to high scores in Vigor and Dedication. In terms of burnout, they showed a low score in Depersonalization, a medium score in Emotional Exhaustion, and a high score in Personal Accomplishment. Those with nonpermanent employment contracts scored higher in all dimensions of burnout compared to those with permanent employment contracts. Vigor, Dedication, and Absorption correlated negatively with Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization and positively with Personal Accomplishment. Vigor negatively predicted Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Personal Accomplishment. In conclusion, healthcare professionals in the private healthcare sector in Greece demonstrate moderate work engagement and experience moderate burnout. There are differences in work engagement and burnout based on sociodemographic and work-related characteristics. Promoting work engagement (especially the dimension of Vigor) is essential to preventing and addressing burnout among healthcare professionals.

Background Thrombocytopenia in pregnancy is a common multifactorial abnormality of the hematological system, next to anemia. It leads to more increased risk of bleeding during delivery, labour, or the postpartum period. Despite being a significant public health concern, there are limited studies done concerning thrombocytopenia during pregnancy. Objective To assess the magnitude and associated factors of thrombocytopenia among pregnant women at Mizan Tepi University Teaching Hospital from September 2023 to November 2023. Methods An institutional-based cross-sectional study was carried out on 230 systematic randomly selected pregnant women who attended antenatal visits from September 2023 to November 2023 G.C using data collection tools. The pretested structured questionnaires were employed to obtain clinical, nutritional, and sociodemographic information. Additionally, three millilitres of venous blood were collected from each participant and analyzed using a Sysmex hematology analyzer. The data was entered into Epidata version 4.6 and analyzed using STATA version 14. Descriptive statistics were computed, and logistic regression was used to identify predictors with a significance level of less than 0.05. Results Two hundred thirty pregnant women participated in the study. Among study participants, the magnitude of thrombocytopenia was 55(24.35%) with 32 (57.14%) mild, 19 (33.93%) moderate, and 5 (8.93%) severe thrombocytopenia. The determinant factors which shown significant association were Malaria parasite infection (AOR 9.27 at 95% CI 7.42, 10.87), one-year Inter-birth interval (AOR 1.7 at 95% CI 1.24, 2.14), History of abortion (AOR 3.94 95% CI 3.13, 4.86), History of hypertension (AOR 3.12 95% CI 1.56, 4.12), HIV infection (AOR 1.81 95% CI 1.32.2.52) and HBV infection (AOR 3.0 95% CI 2.82, 3.34). Conclusion Thrombocytopenia is a public health problem and mild type of thrombocytopenia was the most predominant. The determinant factors that showed significant association with thrombocytopenia were Malaria Parasitic infection, one-year Inter-birth interval, History of abortion, History of hypertension, HIV infection, and HBV infection. Therefore, pregnant women should be continuously screened for thrombocytopenia to avoid excessive bleeding. Increasing Inter-birth interval, preventing abortion as well as timely diagnosis and treatment of underlying causes such as malaria infection, hypertension, HBV, and HIV is important to reduce the burden of thrombocytopenia.
