“…Previous studies show that supportive management led to a decreased risk of mental health problems among healthcare professionals working during the COVID-19 pandemic [ 42 – 44 ]. Also, studies show that burnout among doctors can be prevented if management facilitates a reduced workload with sufficient time for recovery [ 24 , 38 ].…”

“…A lower level of social support from management regarding the extent of the measures taken to protect the health of healthcare professionals was associated with mental health problems during the pandemic [ 41 ]. On the other hand, more supportive management, for instance through encouragement and provision of sufficient resources, helped to reduce work-related stress among healthcare professionals who worked during the COVID-19 pandemic [ 42 ]. Similarly, Feingold et al [ 43 ] showed that feeling valued and supported by management was associated with a lower risk of mental health problems during the pandemic.…”

“…Furthermore, healthcare professionals who reported that they experienced deficiencies in management during the pandemic, were also more likely to have symptoms of mental health problems [ 8 , 10 , 41 ]. In contrast, appropriate management actions were emphasised as potentially having a protective effect on the mental health of healthcare professionals [ 24 , 42 – 44 , 47 ]. However, most of these studies generally focus on healthcare professionals in the hospital setting.…”

Introduction A significant number of international studies show that general practitioners (GPs) suffered from burnout when working during the COVID-19 pandemic. A Swedish study found that more than 16% of GPs had exhaustion in spring 2021. Exhaustion can be regarded as an initial stage of burnout. A knowledge gap remains on GPs´ working conditions, the impact of management during the pandemic and how it was associated with exhaustion. This study aims to explore the association between severe symptoms of exhaustion and COVID-19 pandemic-related work and managerial factors among Swedish GPs and whether managerial factors have an impact on the association between exhaustion and COVID-19-related work factors. Methods Cross-sectional data was drawn from the Longitudinal Occupational Health survey in Health Care Sweden (LOHHCS), which included a representative sample of practicing doctors in Sweden. The sample consisted of 6699 doctors with a response rate of 41.2%. This study constitutes a sample of doctors who reported working in primary care facilities at the time of data collection, i.e. 1013 GPs. The Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) was used to assess severe symptoms of exhaustion. Questions were also asked about pandemic-related work and managerial factors. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression to identify the association between exhaustion, work and managerial factors. Results The multivariate analysis showed that GPs who managed COVID-19 patients were about twice as likely to report severe symptoms of exhaustion. Further, GPs who reported that management was unsupportive, provided unsatisfactory working conditions and unsatisfactory policies for patient prioritisation were between two and four times more likely to report severe symptoms of exhaustion. Conclusions COVID-19-related work and managerial factors had a significant impact on the mental health of GPs. Furthermore, the potentially protective effect that satisfactory management actions had on mental health was limited. In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and in preparation for future major crises that have a high impact on healthcare, there is a need to investigate the measures that can be taken to enable GPs to carry out their work, while maintaining their wellbeing.

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study is to determine the role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between the stress perceptions of emergency medicine doctors and their organizational silence behaviors.MethodsData were collected digitally from 434 doctors working in emergency departments in Turkey. On the assumption that perceived stress was effective on organizational silence behavior and that emotional intelligence mediates this relationship, hypotheses were developed and a mediating effect model was established. The research model and hypotheses were shaped through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Hayes 4th model was used to test the research hypotheses. The research model was tested via SPSS Process v4.1 by Andrew F. Hayes.ResultsAccording to the correlation analysis to determine the relationship between the variables, it was determined that perceived stress was positively correlated with organizational silence behavior, emotional intelligence was negatively correlated with perceived stress, and emotional intelligence was negatively correlated with organizational silence. As a result of the mediating effect model test, it was determined that emotional intelligence had a statistically significant mediating effect in the effect of perceived stress on organizational silence.ConclusionWithin the framework of the findings, it is thought that emotional intelligence is a key variable in turning the negative energy between stress and silence into positive.

“…To better understand and manage the stress, many models relating to stress have been created. The WRS model defines stress as all responses that cause any modification of an individual's cognitive, physical, psychological, and emotional state (5) . Due to differences in biological and psychosocial processes, females are more disadvantaged and vulnerable than males when it comes to the impacts of stress (6) .…”

Background: Workplace stress is a well-documented problem in a number of professions. However, recent studies have shown that women are more likely to be affected by stress than men. Excessive pressure or performance expectations at work are believed to lead to stress. Emotional, physical, and mental symptoms and indicators are all part of this reaction. Office stress develops when demands on employees are greater than their ability to cope with them. Because women being female, their career objectives can be influenced. It can be difficult for women to advance their careers and careers as doctors in various faculties because they lack the inner motivation to overcome the many challenges that stand in their way, identification of protective factors for resiliency and overcoming the barriers for women to achieve their academic success beside their family and life responsibilities. Objectives: To assess work related stress parameters among a group of female postgraduate staff workers, train them to mitigate stress by workplace mental health promotion program and test its feedback. Subjects and Methods: A-Assessment of stress among study group at a baseline using Workplace Stress Model, which measure 5 parameters. B-Measurement of stress hormone (cortisol) in the study group. C-Training and application of workplace health promotion program for 3 months before reassessment of work stress and compare its results. Results: Improvement of work stress parameters and cortisol level was detected after application of the WorkProMentH's Program among participants. Conclusion: Working staff women are vulnerable to workstress. Adaptation on special exercises and coping skills can relieve stress and prevent its drawbacks.
