Abstract:Work-related stress and reward are not mutually exclusive; particular situations and events can be simultaneously stressful and rewarding for healthcare providers. Although patient care and interactions with children was found to be the most stressful aspect of working in this speciality, it was also the greatest source of reward. Results are discussed in relation to workplace approaches to staff well-being and stress reduction.
“…28 Regardless of recent salary adjustments, 24 imbalanced remuneration, lack of incentives, promotion and appreciation from supervisors remained significant factors associated with emotional exhaustion in this, as in previous similar studies. 24,28,35 The Effort-Reward Imbalance Model requires the balance between work efforts and rewards to be executed through three domains: salary, prestige, and job security. 24,28 In conclusion, these data indicate that emotional exhaustion of doctors in Pediatric departments at public hospital was high and related with sources of stress in the workplace and the level of self-perceived stress but not with socio-demographic factors.…”
Introduction.Emotional exhaustion is an important component of burnout. Burnout is common among doctors. It affects the physical and mental health of doctors, their performance and the quality of care they provide. This study aimed to investigate the level and factors associated with emotional exhaustion among doctors in pediatric practice in Malaysia. Population and methods. A self-administered questionnaire was used in this multicenter cross-sectional study. It included questions on the socio-demographics, work characteristics, Emotional Exhaustion, Perceived Stress Scale and sources of job stress. Descriptive, univariate and multivariate analysis were conducted using the SPSS software. Results. A total of 197 doctors working in the Pediatric department in eight hospitals returned complete questionnaire. High and moderate emotional exhaustion was reported by 25.4% and 24.4% doctors, respectively. In bivariate analysis, 29 out of the 38 items of sources of stress showed significant association with emotional exhaustion (p <0.05).The significant predictors of emotional exhaustion in the multivariate analysis were: scoring higher on the Perceived Stress Score, dealing with patient's psychosocial problems, disrespectful interactions with colleagues/ subordinates, lack of appreciation from supervisors, lack of incentives and promotions, time pressures and deadlines to meet, and setting unrealistic goals of having them imposed on oneself (p <0.05). The most common source of stress was dealing with difficult parents (80.2%). Conclusions. Emotional exhaustion is associated with sources of stress in the workplace but not with socio-demographic factors.

“…Working in shifts and with critical patients may have an impact on different aspects of the quality of life of nursing professionals (3) . On the other hand, there is a limited number of studies on the topic, in addition to the fact that we can observe important differences in working environments and in patients' characteristics (7) . We assume that the quality of life of professionals who work in pediatric and neonatal intensive care units may be undermined.…”
OBJECTIVE To assess sleep, quality of life and mood of nursing professionals of pediatric intensive care units. METHOD Quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study. Professionals grouped by morning, afternoon and evening shifts were assessed by means of the instruments: Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire; Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index; Epworth Sleepiness Scale; Generic questionnaire for the assessment of quality of life (SF-36); Beck Depression Inventory; Beck Anxiety Inventory; State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. RESULTS Sample consisted of 168 professionals, with prevalence of neutral typology (57.49%). There was no statistical significance regarding sleep, despite scores showing a poor quality of sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness for the three shifts. Quality of life did not reveal any statistical significance, but in the field "social role functioning" of the evening shift, a lower score was observed (p<0.007). There was no statistical significance regarding levels of anxiety and depression. CONCLUSION The results suggest that these professionals may present sleeping problems, but they do not have lower scores of quality of life or mood disorders. Likely explanations for these findings may include an adaptation to their work type over time and the fact that working with children is rewarding.
“…28 Independientemente de los últimos ajustes en los salarios, 24 la desproporción en las remuneraciones y la falta de incentivos, promociones y reconocimiento de parte de los supervisores continúan siendo factores importantes asociados con el agotamiento emocional, tanto en este estudio como en estudios similares anteriores. 24,28,35 El modelo desequilibrio esfuerzorecompensa exige que el equilibrio entre los esfuerzos hechos en el trabajo y las recompensas recibidas se ejecute a través de tres dominios: salario, prestigio y seguridad en el empleo. 24,28 En conclusión, estos datos indican que el agotamiento emocional de los médicos de los departamentos de pediatría de los hospitales públicos es alto y que se relaciona con fuentes de estrés provenientes del entorno laboral y con el nivel de estrés autopercibido, pero no con factores sociodemográficos.…”
