“…This result is in contrast to the survey of the Spanish Society of Medical Oncology [15], which showed the perception of time pressure and social deterioration to be responsible for high burnout levels. Shanafelt et al [16] found that, among the North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG) for medical oncologists, ‘patient load', followed by ‘balancing personal and professional life' and ‘dealing with death/suffering of patients' were the main stressors.…”

Background: An increasing number of surveys have investigated professional stress and satisfaction among oncologists. Coevally, structural development has changed the oncological working environment. This survey investigated the quality of life and job stress among German oncological physicians. Methods: A 48-item questionnaire, which included the ‘Stress questionnaire of physicians and nurses' (FBAS), was developed by the ‘Quality of life' working group of the Internal oncology study group (AIO), and distributed anonymously at the annual meeting of the AIO working group in 2010. Descriptive statistics as well as univariate and multivariate analysis were performed. Results: 261 oncologists, mostly male (64%), older than 40 years (38%), and medical specialists (78%), took part in the survey. ‘Structural conditions' were identified as causing the highest mean stress levels, followed by ‘professional and private life'. Female participants showed a significantly lower global quality of life than male participants (p = 0.020). ‘Structural conditions' induced more stress among younger oncologists < 50 years old (p < 0.001). Qualification status was influenced by gender (p < 0.001); the multivariate analysis described the dependence of gender (p = 0.0045), working situation (p = 0.0317) and global stress (p = 0.0008). Conclusion: Structural conditions, age younger than 50 years and female gender were identified as stress risk factors among the AIO members, and showed that job stress is present in German oncology. Further research is warranted to develop evidence-based intervention strategies.

“…This situation can be a source of high-leveled stress to the managing team. [14] Other sources of burnout in the health sector can be linked to seniority and workplace factors as can be seen among nurses and other cadre of health care staff. [15] Individual factors that may contribute to burnout include demographic variables (age, marital status, and educational level); personality traits (low hardiness and poor self-esteem); and job attitudes (unrealistically high expectations, poor salary).…”

“…Éste fenómeno ha sido identificado en muchos profesionales de la salud (Felton, 1998), incluida el área de la medicina oncológica, donde se ha encontrado una alta prevalencia (Camps et al, 2009;Whippen y Canellos, 1991). La costosa tarea de trabajar con pacientes enfermos y sus familiares y trabajar con asuntos emocionalmente complicados, hacen que los retos que asumen diariamente estos profesionales se conviertan en factores de riesgo que pueden predisponer a la aparición del desgaste profesional (Trufelli et al, 2008;Moriana, 2006).…”

Resumen: Una perspectiva salutogénica se está imponiendo en el ámbito de las organizaciones. Frente al estudio del desgaste profesional o burnout, y en cierta medida, gracias a él, ha surgido el concepto de vinculación al trabajo o engagement. Este trabajo plantea conocer el nivel de engagement de los voluntarios de una asociación que atiende a personas con cáncer y a sus familiares, y el rol que juegan la Reevaluación Cognitiva y el Sentido de Coherencia en su explicación. También se analiza la manera en la que estos factores cognitivos y emocionales se relacionan a la hora de explicar la vinculación dentro de la organización. La muestra está compuesta por 136 voluntarios. Se llevaron a cabo análisis descriptivos, de correlación, de regresión jerár-quica y análisis de efectos indirectos a través de la técnica de remuestreo o bootstrapping. Los resultados muestran que la reevaluación cognitiva tiene un efecto directo en la varianza del engagement, así como el sentido de coherencia, que a su vez ejercería un papel mediador entre ambas variables. Se discuten las implicaciones de los resultados para promover la vinculación al trabajo de los voluntarios. Palabras clave: Bootstrapping; efecto indirecto; engagement; reevaluación cognitiva; sentido de la coherencia; vinculación con el trabajo; voluntarios.Title: Assesment and prediction of work engagement in a health volunteers sample: the role of Sense of Coherence and Cognitive Reappraisal. Abstract: A salutogenic perspective within organizations is becoming more important. Faced with the study of burnout, and to some extent, thanks to its, has emerged the concept work engagement. This study aims to determine the level of engagement of volunteers from an association that serves people with cancer and their families, and show some factors that could explain it, in particular, cognitive reappraisal and sense of coherence. We also want to analyze the way in which cognitive and emotional factors related to explain this relationship within the organization. The sample consists of 136 volunteers. Descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, regression analysis and analysis of indirect effects were conducted using the statistical procedure bootstrapping. The results show that cognitive reappraisal has a direct effect on the variance of engagement. The sense of coherence, besides having a direct effect, have a mediating role between the two variables. We discuss the implications of the results to promote the work engagement of volunteers. Key words: Bootstrapping; cognitive reappraisal; engagement; indirect effect; sense of coherence; volunteers. IntroducciónEn los últimos veinticinco años se ha investigado y desarrollado ampliamente el estudio del estrés laboral y sus consecuencias sobre las organizaciones y sobre los individuos que las componen. Bajo ésta perspectiva, apareció y se potenció la línea de investigación sobre el burnout o desgaste profesional (Maslach y Jackson, 1986). Han sido numerosas las investigaciones, comunicaciones y trabajos presentados en congresos di...

Professional burnout among Spanish medical oncologists

Abstract: The results suggest the importance of developing prevention and intervention lines for medical oncology burnout. In this sense, issues such as work time management and motivational aspects related to research tasks could be worth considering.
