“…There are few publications about occupational health for anesthesiologists and the majority is related with sanitary regulations and recommendations by administrative agencies [14, 15]. Measuring previous knowledge is an important tool for further educational activities and our research found a considerable heterogeneity in the knowledge of occupational hazards and their prevention.…”

BackgroundAn anesthesiologists’ work presents with numerous occupational risks owing to the large amount of time spent inside the operating room where constant noise, anesthetic vapors, ionizing radiation, infectious agents, and psychological stress are present. Herein, we evaluated anesthesiologists’ knowledge about occupational health.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted to assess 158 anesthesiologists from a tertiary hospital on their knowledge about occupational health using a structured questionnaire.ResultsThe survey revealed a lack of knowledge on the forms of prevention of occupational accidents (74.6% did not know how to act in case of a fire during surgery, 56% failed to identify the post-anesthesia care unit as the place with the highest contamination by inhalation anesthetics, and 42.7% failed to identify all personal protective equipment) and a surprisingly high rate of lack of observance of preventive measures (30.3% washed their hands before touching every patient, 52.5% did not use gloves during intravenous access, and 88.6% used protective equipment against ionizing radiation).ConclusionsDespite improvements in safety standards in healthcare facilities, our research showed lack of knowledge about major topics on occupational health by physicians. Improving safety awareness is an important goal of training programs and continued medical education.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1186/s12871-018-0661-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Summary: Neves BS, Pinheiro TMM -Epidemiological and Occupational Profile of Anesthesiologists Practicing in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais -Brazil, in 2010.Background and objectives: Exposed to many occupational risk factors, the anesthesiologist should know how to experience situations related to work and everyday life, so that illness is not part of his reality. Knowledge of work through the worker himself is one way to look deeper into the universe surrounding health professionals in order to seek effective solutions that increase satisfaction and minimize damage. The objective of this paper was to outline an epidemiological and occupational profile of the anesthesiologist in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais.Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional randomized study conducted among members of the Society of Anesthesiology of Minas Gerais. Data collected through a questionnaire, including the CAGE, for evaluation of alcoholism and Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20) to evaluate the prevalence of common mental disorders (CMD).Results: There was predominance of male (62.4%) working on-call schedule (91.1%), both day and at night. The average number of night shifts was 5.4% in the last 30 days. Most of them (88.3%) working in emergency departments. Most professionals reported being very tired and overloaded or very overloaded, but satisfied with the work. There was statistical association between CAGE positive and work overload and between CAGE and SRQ-20. Conclusions:The population studied indicates that the anesthesiologist is a professional rather overloaded, which corroborates trends seen in the medical field. Major attention should be given to these professionals who live surrounded by harmful occupational hazards.

“…Burnout among physicians is reported to be as high and has been reported to be higher than registered nurses and respiratory therapists (Fiest et al, 2021). The prevention of burnout is possible through better professional recognition, the possibility of communicating among colleagues, to participate in teaching sessions or further training, improvement of working conditions and appropriate vocational training (Mérat & Mérat, 2008).…”

In last two decades the world assisted to an increase in the frequency of infectious disease outbreaks which are a challenge for health services and healthcare workers (HCWs). Infectious disease outbreaks cause an unexpected increase in morbidity and mortality, which in turn cause an increased demand on healthcare facilities and consequently an increase in Healthcare workers workload. A search was performed in PubMed selecting meta-analysis, reviews and systematic reviews published before July 2023. The search carried out resulted in abundant information on various aspects of HealthCare Workers’s mental health during and after infectious disease outbreaks. A substantial number of HealthCare Workers suffer greatly from a variety of psychological and psychosomatic problems. The enormous psychological burden of working under such stressful circumstances can severely affect their wellbeing and, consequently, work performance. Health policies and interventions specifically aimed at these professionals should be taken in future infectious disease outbreaks.
