“…Bragard et al () found that higher burnout scores on the subscales of emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation were associated with an increase in psychosomatic disorders and anxiolytic usage. While the findings of the study are limited in their generalisability due to only being conducted in France and applicable to oncologist residents, all applicable oncology residents in the nation were invited to participate, with a response rate of 60%.…”

“…The majority of data presented by the studies looking at factors associated with burnout were those concerning workplace factors. Five of the studies (Bragard et al, ; Elit et al, ; Mampuya et al, ; Ramirez et al, ; Shanafelt, Gradishar, Kosty, Satele, et al, ) found that high patient caseload, patient death, direct patient care time, number of follow‐ups or dealing with patient suffering, to all be associated with higher levels of burnout. All five of these studies were rated as high quality on the quality tool; however, as stated above, Elit et al () findings must be viewed with caution due to lack of statistical information.…”

“…One study (Elit et al, 2004) stated that their findings suggesting that DP subscale scores increased with age was statistically significant; however as above, the authors have not provided statistical information regarding this finding, and as such, their conclusion should be interpreted with caution. While Alacacioglu et al, (2009) and Demirci et al, 2010 were limited to single, small populations, Ramirez et al (1995) Bragard et al (2010) found that higher burnout scores on the subscales of emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation were associated with an increase in psychosomatic disorders and anxiolytic usage.

Background Oncologists may be particularly at risk of burnout. This systematic literature review and meta‐analysis explores the prevalence of burnout and associated factors in oncologists. Methods The authors assessed 26 studies that utilised the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) tool to measure burnout. Pooled prevalence rates were calculated via meta‐analysis (MetaXL) using random effects models. Results Approximately 5,768 oncologists provided burnout data. A significant number experience burnout as highlighted by the pooled prevalence rates for MBI subscales of: emotional exhaustion at 32%; depersonalisation at 24%; and low personal accomplishment at 37%. Eighteen of the studies reported factors found to be significantly associated with high levels of burnout in oncology physicians. These were grouped into demographic differences, individual factors and work factors. Conclusion Burnout was found to affect a significant proportion of oncologists. Burnout was associated with being single, being younger in age, reduced psychological well‐being, difficulties outside of work, workplace demands and workplace stress. Burnout has considerable implications for oncology physicians and patient safety. Further insight into individual factors, and factors associated with lower burnout would be beneficial.

Various CST courses appear to be effective in improving some types of HCP communication skills related to information gathering and supportive skills. We were unable to determine whether the effects of CST are sustained over time, whether consolidation sessions are necessary, and which types of CST programs are most likely to work. We found no evidence to support a beneficial effect of CST on HCP 'burnout', patients' mental or physical health, and patient satisfaction.

Background This is the third update of a review that was originally published in the Cochrane Library in 2002, Issue 2. People with cancer, their families and carers have a high prevalence of psychological stress, which may be minimised by e ective communication and support from their attending healthcare professionals (HCPs). Research suggests communication skills do not reliably improve with experience, therefore, considerable e ort is dedicated to courses that may improve communication skills for HCPs involved in cancer care. A variety of communication skills training (CST) courses are in practice. We conducted this review to determine whether CST works and which types of CST, if any, are the most e ective. Objectives To assess whether communication skills training is e ective in changing behaviour of HCPs working in cancer care and in improving HCP well-being, patient health status and satisfaction. Search methods For this update, we searched the following electronic databases: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL; 2018, Issue 4), MEDLINE via Ovid, Embase via Ovid, PsycInfo and CINAHL up to May 2018. In addition, we searched the US National Library of Medicine Clinical Trial Registry and handsearched the reference lists of relevant articles and conference proceedings for additional studies. Selection criteria The original review was a narrative review that included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled before-and-a er studies. In updated versions, we limited our criteria to RCTs evaluating CST compared with no CST or other CST in HCPs working in cancer care. Primary outcomes were changes in HCP communication skills measured in interactions with real or simulated people with cancer or both, using objective scales. We excluded studies whose focus was communication skills in encounters related to informed consent for research. Data collection and analysis Two review authors independently assessed trials and extracted data to a pre-designed data collection form. We pooled data using the random-e ects method. For continuous data, we used standardised mean di erences (SMDs). Communication skills training for healthcare professionals working with people who have cancer (Review)
