“…Because of the nature of healthcare work, healthcare workers were more likely to encounter epidemic-related stressors and develop psychological problems such as depression after the outbreak of COVID-19 than the general population [ 63 , 64 ]. This situation has been reported for almost all healthcare professional activities, such as dentistry [ 65 ], general surgery [ 66 ], ophthalmology [ 67 ], and nursing [ 61 ].…”

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has posed a profound psychological impact on healthcare workers. However, the role of positive affect in moderating the effect of perceived stress on the psychological states of healthcare workers remains unknown. This study aimed to analyze the moderating effect of positive affect on the association between stress and the mental health of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. This cross-sectional study evaluated the relationships between perceived stress (the Perceived Stress Scale), positive affect (the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule), depression (the Patient Health Questionnaire-9), and anxiety (the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale) during the COVID-19 pandemic in 644 Chinese healthcare workers who completed online self-reports. The results revealed a significant negative association between positive affect and psychological problems, including stress, depression, and anxiety. At the total group level, multiple regression analysis showed that positive affect alleviated the influence of perceived stress on depression, but no significant moderating effect was found for anxiety. In the subgroups divided by perceived stress, the moderating effect of positive affect on depression was only significant in healthcare workers with a high level of perceived stress. These results suggested that positive affect played a moderative role in alleviating the effect of stress on depression among healthcare workers, particularly those with a high level of stress, thus emphasizing the importance of positive affect as an intervention strategy for promoting the mental health of healthcare workers in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

“…As orthopaedic surgery reimbursement is only $1,200 per single TJA without consideration of overhead and practice expenses, a decrease in case volume can have significant financial impacts on a surgeon’s ability to support a practice( 25 ). Mavrogenis et al demonstrated that throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly 98% of all orthopaedic surgeons suffered some monetary impact( 26 ). Paul et al demonstrated the financial losses to orthopaedic surgeons, noting that the highest impacted states included Alabama, Georgia, and Missouri( 27 ).…”

“…Work overload represents the basic individual stress component of burnout ( 49 ), and has high impact on burnout among orthopedic surgeons ( 50 ). Continuously increasing responsibilities and extremely high workload were commonly reported problems ( 32 , 36 ), especially at this stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, the additional workload has led to higher levels of burnout among orthopedic surgeons ( 51 ). Workloads also include administrative workloads, such as excessive paperwork, electronic medical records ( 52 ), and conference report ( 53 ), which also affects their burnout levels.…”

Objectives: To develop an evaluation model for, and identify key factors contributing to, burnout in orthopedic surgeons, providing a reference for the management of burnout among orthopedic surgeons in hospitals.Methods: We developed an analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model with 3 dimensions and 10 sub-criteria based on an extensive literature review and expert assessment. We used expert and purposive sampling and 17 orthopedic surgeons were selected as research subjects. The AHP process was then used to obtain the weights and to prioritize the dimensions and criteria for burnout in orthopedic surgeons.Results: The dimension of C1 (personal/family) was the key factor affecting burnout in orthopedic surgeons, and in the sub-criteria, the top four sub-criteria were C11 (little time for family), C31 (anxiety about clinical competence), C12 (work-family conflict), and C22 (heavy work load).Conclusion: This model was effective in analyzing the key factors contributing to job burnout risk, and the results can inform improved management of the levels of burnout affecting orthopedic surgeons in hospitals.
