“…The average sample size of the 28 studies was 637, while a smaller number of participants were recruited in qualitative studies, ranging from 22 to 187. A few of the quantitative studies had participants greater than 1000, i.e., 1050 (19), 1500 (20), 3006 (21), 4773 (22) and 1606 (23)). Its noteworthy that, out of all survey-based studies, only three studies had a response rate of 50% or greater (3/19%, (24-26), while ve did not explicitly report any response rate.…”

Background COVID-19 has endangered healthcare systems at multiple levels worldwide. Published data suggests that moral dilemmas faced during these unprecedented times have placed physicians at the intersections of ethical and unethical considerations. This phenomenon has questioned the physicians' morality and how that has affected their conduct. Our review taps into the spectrum of the transforming optics of patient care during the pandemic and its impact on psychological wellbeing.Methods We adopted the Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, defining research questions, identifying relevant studies, selecting the studies using agreed inclusion and exclusion criteria, charting the data, and summarizing and reporting results. Databases of PubMed/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, CINAHL, and PsycInfo were searched using a predefined search string. The retrieved titles and abstracts were reviewed. Later, a detailed full-text analysis of the studies which matched our inclusion criteria was performed. ResultsOur first search identified 875 titles and abstracts. After excluding duplicates, irrelevant, and incomplete titles, we selected 28 studies for further analysis. The total sample size in 28 studies was 15,509 with an average sample size of 637 per study. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used, with cross-sectional surveys being utilized in all 16 quantitative studies and the most common qualitative study design used semi-structured interviews. A number of discrete codes were generated which led to the identification of five main themes; mental health, individual challenges, decision-making, change in patient care, and support services.ConclusionThis scoping review reports an alarming rise in psychological distress, moral injury, cynicism, uncertainty, burnout and grief among physicians during the pandemic. Decision-making and patient care was mostly regulated by rationing, triaging, age, gender and life expectancy. Poor professional controls and institutional services potentially led to physicians’ crumbling wellbeing. This research calls for the remediation of the deteriorating mental health and restoration of medical profession’s advocacy and equity.

“…These factors constitute job burnout (Freudenberger, 1974 ), which comprises three main dimensions: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and inefficacy (Maslach & Jackson, 1981 ; Maslach et al, 2001 ). Job burnout has been frequently reported in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic (Mion et al, 2021 ). Studies have shown that job burnout limits occupational accomplishment and can lead to a high turnover prevalence (Dinibutun, 2020 ; Maslach & Leiter, 2016 ).…”

Acute stress disorder and job burnout in primary and secondary school teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic: The moderating effect of sense of control

2022

The study aim was to examine the relationship between acute stress disorder and job burnout among primary and secondary school teachers, and to explore the moderating effect of sense of control on this relationship. A total of 751 teachers completed self-report questionnaires during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that acute stress disorder, emotional exhaustion, and depersonalization were significantly lower in female teachers than in male teachers. Age was positively associated with acute stress disorder and negatively associated with inefficacy. Acute stress disorder was significantly and positively associated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization dimensions of job burnout. The relation between acute stress disorder and inefficacy was moderated by sense of control: acute stress disorder was positively associated with inefficacy when the sense of control was strong and was negatively associated with inefficacy when the sense of control was weak. These findings demonstrate that acute stress disorder is a risk factor for job burnout, and that sense of control is a protective factor for some aspects of job burnout. However, in individuals with a strong sense of control, acute stress disorder is associated with greater inefficacy, suggesting that sense of control can both positively and negatively affect burnout.

“…Trainee doctors are a particularly vulnerable group to psychological ill health and burnout generally given their relative inexperience [ 4 , 5 ], and their vulnerability is likely compounded by the social instability that accompanies training programs and competing demands of clinical work, research commitments, and membership examinations. There is already evidence that the ramifications of the pandemic have increased stress and burnout in this group as a whole [ 6 , 7 ].…”

Objective Prior to the pandemic, trainee doctors were at higher risk of psychological ill health. There is limited evidence measuring the impact of COVID-19 on psychiatry trainees. This study evaluates levels of burnout, work satisfaction, and psychological well-being in psychiatry junior doctors in Ireland and identifies potential contributing factors. Methods The authors carried out a cross-sectional online survey measuring demographic and work-related variables. Questions including exposure to COVID-19 and stress-related factors were included. We evaluated burnout, work satisfaction, and psychological well-being using the Abbreviated-Maslach Burnout Inventory, Basic Needs Satisfaction at Work Scale, and WHO-5 Well-being Index. Results One hundred and five doctors responded (21%). The biggest stressor reported was reduced face-to-face contact with family and friends (73%). Forty one percent reported weekly supervision changes. Sixty five percent met the criteria for burnout, compared with 36.2% in 2018. Significant factors associated with burnout included staff shortages, longer hours, and less experience. Changes in supervision and working in non-European Working Time Directive compliant rotas were associated with lower scores across all subdomains of the BNSW Scale. The WHO-5 Well-being Index identified 48% scored low in personal well-being, indicating these trainees met the threshold for depression. Changes in regular supervision (p=0.010) were a significant predictor of low personal well-being. Conclusions High prevalence of burnout and low levels of well-being in this vulnerable cohort, particularly those who are inexperienced, have changes in supervision, and working longer hours is concerning. This study highlights the importance of regular supervision and support for this group.
