“…Different forms of mindfulness, ranging from formal meditation to more informal attention to day-to-day tasks, can prevent and reduce burnout among radiological personnel [ 3 ]. Another strategy for reducing stress and burnout among health professionals is promoting individual resilience [ 4 , 9 , 12 ]. Mindfulness and resilience could also affect the quality of care, due to their effectiveness in reducing stress and burnout [ 2 , 5 , 13 ].…”

Background Stress and burnout are widespread problems among radiological personnel Individual and organizational resilience and mindfulness offer protection against burnout. Aim To investigate the level of resilience and mindfulness among radiological personnel, the associations between organizational resilience, individual resilience, and mindfulness, and how these factors impact the quality of care provided in radiological departments. Methods An online questionnaire consisting of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, the Benchmark Resilience Tool, and questions regarding burnout, and quality and safety was used. Data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics, bivariate correlation and standard multiple regression. Results and Conclusion Few participants considered burnout a significant challenge. Individual and organizational resilience were low (30.40 ± 4.92 and 63.21 ± 13.63 respectively), and mindfulness was high (4.29 ± 0.88). There was a significant correlation between individual and organizational resilience (p = 0.004), between individual resilience and mindfulness (p = 0.03), and between organizational resilience and mindfulness (p = 0.02). Individual and organizational resilience affect each other. However; neither significantly affect quality and safety, nor mindfulness

Background Heavy workloads and increasing demands for productivity have contributed to rising rates of stress and burnout among radiological staff. Different forms of mindfulness and resilience-training might assist with stress management and protect these employees against burnout. Aim The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of an online training tool on individual and organizational resilience, mindfulness and quality of care. Methods An online questionnaire was used, consisting of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, the Benchmark Resilience Tool, and questions pertaining to quality, safety, and burnout (baseline = 68 participants between July 2022 - October 2022, follow-up = 13 participants between November 2022 - February 2023). Descriptive statistics and a paired-sampled t-test were used for statistical analysis. Results and conclusions Few participants reported completing any of the exercises. The baseline group had significantly higher mean resilience (p = 0.018) and mindfulness scores (p = < 0.001), mean decrease in scores was 7.46 for resilience and 1.7 for mindfulness. In conclusion, both individual and organizational resilience are perceived as low among radiological personnel in Norway. However, it does not seem to affect quality and safety.

Background The causes of burnout are varied, and several methods have been explored to prevent burnout among radiological personnel. The aim of this systematized review was to determine the prevalence of burnout, the impact of burnout, and what can be done to prevent stress and burnout. Methods Google Scholar and the Medline, CINAHL and Scopus databases were queried in June 2022. Eligibility was assessed using predetermined criteria: (a) the item had at least one of the terms described in the search in the title; (b) the item addressed burnout, stress, or resilience among radiological personnel; and (c) the study was conducted in relevant settings. The exclusion criteria were (a) prefaces and brief letters to the editor communications; and (b) reports related to quality in radiology only. Results Nineteen manuscripts were included and divided into four categories: the prevalence of stress and burnout; the causes of stress and burnout; the impact of stress and burnout on the individual, the department and the quality of care provided; and the prevention of stress and burnout, and promotion of resilience among radiological personnel. Conclusion The prevalence of stress and burnout among radiological personnel is between 1.3% and 90%. The impacts affect both staff and patients. Mindfulness-based interventions aimed at individuals have proven effective at combating stress and burnout, interventions aimed at the system are more effective, and a combination of both is the most effective.
