Burnout is attributed to negative work environments and threatens patient and clinician safety. Psychological safety is the perception that the work environment is safe for interpersonal risk-taking and may offer insight into the relationship between the work environment and burnout. In this cross-sectional analysis of survey data from 621 nurse practitioners in California, we found that one-third (34%) experienced high burnout. Four factors in the work environment were negatively associated with burnout and positively associated with psychological safety. Significant mediation effects of psychological safety were observed on the relationships between each work environment factor and both emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. The largest mediation effects were observed on the total effects of Nurse Practitioner-Physician Relations and Practice Visibility on Emotional Exhaustion (37% and 32%, respectively) and Independent Practice and Support and NP-Administration Relations on Depersonalization (32% and 29%, respectively). We found, overall, that psychological safety decreased the strength of the negative relationship between work environment and burnout. We argue that research, practice, and policy efforts to mitigate burnout and improve the work environment should consider psychological safety as a metric for system-level well-being.

Background: The intersection of occupational burnout and digital leisure activities has garnered increasing scholarly attention in recent years. However, limited research has examined how Chinese healthcare workers engage with short-form video apps as a stress management tool. Objectives: This study employs a serial multiple mediation model to explore the impact of occupational burnout on the use of short-form video apps and its subsequent effects on a sense of community, intrinsic rewards, and life satisfaction among Chinese healthcare workers aged 18–34. Methods: Data were collected through an online survey, with 362 valid responses, and analyzed using descriptive statistics, hierarchical regression, and mediation analyses, including serial mediation via SPSS 25.0. Results: The results demonstrate a positive direct association between occupational burnout and the use of short-form video apps. Furthermore, the relationship between the use of short-form video apps and life satisfaction was mediated through two distinct pathways, namely, a sense of community and intrinsic rewards. Conclusions: These findings contribute to the expanding body of literature on the role of digital media in stress management and well-being among healthcare workers, as well as highlighting evidence-based digital interventions to support healthcare workers' well-being in high-stress settings.

Recent studies indicate that nurses experienced high levels of occupational burnout and insomnia during and after the pandemic and highlight resilience as a crucial competence for overcoming adversity. The aim of this study was to assess occupational burnout, insomnia, and psychological resilience and to explore their interrelations among Greek nurses 14 months after the official ending of the pandemic which was declared in May 2023. The study was conducted online in July 2024 and included 380 nurses currently working in Greek hospitals, who completed the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI), the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). Overall, 56.1% of the nurses exhibited insomnia symptoms and 46.8% displayed signs of occupational burnout. Low resilience scores were observed in 26.3%. Multiple regression analysis indicated that CBI explained 34.4% of the variance in the AIS scores, while an additional 3% was explained by the BRS. Mediation analysis revealed that resilience operates protectively as a negative mediator in the relationship between burnout and insomnia. In conclusion, one year after the end of the pandemic the levels of occupational burnout and insomnia among nurses remain high, whereas psychological resilience seems to be retained at moderate levels. Consequently, there is an urgent need to regularly monitor for risk of burnout and insomnia and to implement resilience-building strategies for nurses to combat burnout and improve insomnia symptoms.

Introduction: Work is an essential aspect of human life. However, high expectations from employers and clients, combined with time pressure and chronic stress, can contribute to burnout among employees in service professions. Aim of the Study: This study aimed to compare the prevalence of burnout syndrome between two occupational groups—corporate office workers and active nurses—and to assess the influence of socio-demographic factors on the level of burnout in both groups. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted among 330 participants, including 126 nurses (38%) and 204 corporate employees (62%). Data were collected using a standard questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The study period spanned from November 2018 to October 2019, and questionnaires were distributed via email. Results: The findings revealed that both corporate employees and nurses experience occupational burnout. Both groups predominantly exhibited moderate to high levels of emotional exhaustion (nurses: 66.67%, q2 = 20.5; corporate employees: 73.53%, q2 = 31.5) and low to moderate levels of personal accomplishment (nurses: 78.57%, q2 = 32.0; corporate employees: 87.75%, q2 = 27.0). Corporate employees showed significantly higher depersonalization scores (q2 = 13.50) compared to nurses (q2 = 5.0). The prevalence of burnout in both groups was influenced by socio-demographic factors, including having children, their place of residence, education, earnings, and job-related factors such as vacation availability, the frequency of work shifts, work systems, overtime, and overall job satisfaction. Conclusions: Service-oriented professions that involve caregiving and direct interpersonal interactions face comparable risks of occupational burnout. Despite differences in the nature and conditions of work, as well as tasks performed, both corporate employees and active nurses are vulnerable to burnout. High salaries were not confirmed as a protective factor against occupational burnout. Additionally, environmental factors, particularly those related to working conditions, played a significant role in the development of burnout syndrome, alongside individual factors.

Background: Sleep disturbances affect about 40% of the global population and are a common issue among patients seeking medical consultation. There is limited research on sleep disturbances in Taiwan's traditional industry workforce. Objective: This study aims to investigate the correlations between work patterns, health promotion behaviors, occupational burnout, and sleep disturbances among employees in traditional industries. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect data on the work patterns, health promotion behaviors, occupational burnout, and sleep disturbances within a traditional industry. The study period was from May to June 2023. Data analysis was performed using chi-square tests, independent sample t-tests, and logistic regression. Result: Data from a total of 365 employees were collected, with 63.3% of the study subjects working in shifts and 47.9% experiencing sleep disturbances. Factors associated with sleep disturbances included personal burnout (OR = 1.07 (95% CI 1.06, 1.09); p < 0.001), shift work (OR = 2.67 (95% CI 1.53, 4.65); p < 0.001), health responsibility behavior (OR = 0.50 (95% CI 0.33, 0.77); p = 0.001), and life appreciation behavior (OR = 0.47 (95% CI 0.29, 0.76); p = 0.002). Conclusion: Occupational health nurses should regularly assess employees' sleep status and provide psychological counseling services and health promotion programs to help employees alleviate sleep disturbances.

Abstract China witnessed an Omicron COVID-19 outbreak at the end of 2022. During this period, medical crowding and enormous pressure on the healthcare systems occurred, which might result in the occurrence of occupational burnout among healthcare workers (HCWs). This study aims to investigate the prevalence of occupational burnout and associated mental conditions, such as depressive symptoms, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, perceived social support, resilience, and mindfulness among HCWs of the Chinese mainland during the Omicron COVID-19 outbreak, and to explore the potential risk and protective factors influencing occupational burnout of HCWs. A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted among HCWs working in the Chinese mainland from January 5 to February 9, 2023. A total of 6552 participants were recruited by convenience sampling. Data were collected on demographic characteristics, occupational burnout, depressive symptoms, anxiety, PTSD, perceived social support, resilience, and mindfulness by online questionnaires. Descriptive analyses were performed to describe the participants’ demographic characteristics. Univariate-Multivariate analyses were used to determine the influencing factors of occupational burnout. The results showed that the prevalence of occupational burnout and associated mental disorders, such as depressive symptoms, anxiety, and PTSD in HCWs were 44.56%, and 70.75%, 47.87%, and 37.49%, respectively. Older age, female gender, higher income, more doses of COVID-19 vaccine, a higher level of mindfulness, resilience, and perceived social support were protective factors of occupational burnout. Working as nurses, in a department currently taking charge of the treatment of COVID-19 patients, perceived high risk of contracting COVID-19 due to work, perceived high work intensity, and a higher level of anxiety and depressive symptoms were risk factors of occupational burnout. Tailored interventions on perceived social support, resilience, and mindfulness should be implemented to alleviate occupational burnout and associated mental disorders among HCWs.

Abstract Background & Aims Burnout is a global concern, and critical healthcare professionals have been identified as a high-risk population of burnout. Early identification is crucial, but the prevalence of burnout and its risk factors demonstrate significant geographical variations. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of burnout among critical healthcare professionals and explore potential risk factors during the post-pandemic era in Taiwan. Methods A web-based questionnaire survey was conducted from December 1, 2023, to January 31, 2024, targeting critical healthcare professionals employed in selected medical institutions affiliated with the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital Foundation, one of Taiwan’s largest healthcare organizations. Demographic information, the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS), current work stressors and self-reported general health data were collected. The study utilized the Maslach Burnout Inventory Human Services Survey for Medical Personnel (MBI-MP). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were employed to investigate the association between risk factors and each burnout subscales. A systematic review of Asian literature concerning burnout among critical care practitioners was also conducted. Results In our study, 254 participants were enrolled, with an overall burnout rate of 35.4%. The prevalence of high emotional exhaustion (EE) was 70.9%, high depersonalization (DP) was 56.3%, and low personal accomplishment (PA) was 60.6%. Young, unmarried populations, individuals with limited work experience, longer working hours, and night shifts are potential vulnerable groups susceptible to burnout. The top three stressors identified were excessive workload, the burden of administrative tasks, and a shortage of vacation time. Our systematic review included 20 Asian studies on the same issue, with variable burnout prevalence ranging from 16.3 to 82.1%. Conclusion The prevalence of burnout was high among critical healthcare professionals in post-pandemic Taiwan, particularly affecting younger, unmarried populations and individuals with limited work experience, longer hours, and more night shifts. The influence of pandemic-related factors has decreased. Regional variations in burnout have been observed across Asia, highlighting the need for further research to identify local risk factors and protect the well-being of professionals and healthcare quality.

Objectives Job strain in dentistry makes the profession highly susceptible to occupational burnout. People with high sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) perceive workplace as more stressful and more demanding. Emotional intelligence (EI) is both a trait and an ability, which helps individuals adapt to the environment and reduces burnout. This study examines the relationship between SPS and burnout among Polish dentists and whether EI may be a protective factor against burnout in a group of highly sensitive dentists. Material and Methods Polish dentists (N = 201) answered a questionnaire, the short Polish version of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS-10), the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire – Short Form (TEIQue-SF), the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), and the demographic data questionnaire. Results Moderated hierarchical regression analyses showed that SPS can predict burnout factors exhaustion (p < 0.001) and disengagement (p = 0.012). Higher trait SPS was associated with higher burnout factors. Emotional intelligence can predict burnout factors exhaustion (p < 0.001) and disengagement (p < 0.001). Higher trait EI was associated with lower burnout factors. Also it turned out that EI moderates the relationship between SPS and burnout factor exhaustion (p = 0.015). The findings illustrated reverse buffering effect. UNIANOVA analyses showed that EI may have a protective effect on burnout, although this effect decreases for exhaustion and disappears for disengagement in the group of highly sensitive dentists. Conclusions Sensory processing sensitivity can help to identify dentists who are at risk to develop burnout. Training to increase EI levels can be implemented to reduce the risk of burnout among dentists, although it appears to be insufficient among those at higher risk, i.e., the highly sensitive dentists. This shows the importance of searching for other possible factors that could protect highly sensitive dentists from burnout. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2024;37(5):524–34

Objectives Sleep disorders can significantly affect the performance and well-being of healthcare workers. This study explores the influence of body weight on the links between sleep quality and various self-reported health indicators – including somatic and mental health, sexual life, and workrelated stress – among healthcare workers. Material and Methods A national cross-sectional survey was conducted in February – April 2022 using a predominantly online, self-administered questionnaire. The group analyzed for this study included 1478 healthcare workers from 99 hospitals and specialized clinics across Poland. Results Sleep disturbances, assessed via the 4-item Jenkins Sleep Scale scale, were reported by 16% of the participants. Over half (54.7%) of the respondents were categorized as overweight or obese based on their body mass index (BMI). A higher BMI was found to be associated with being male, age >50 years, working as a paramedic, possessing over ten years of work experience, and reporting poorer health and sexual life (p < 0.001). Sleep quality showed significant correlations with assessments of sexual life, stress levels, and occupational burnout (p < 0.001). These correlations remained significant after adjusting for BMI. Notably, in both univariate and adjusted models, sexual life assessment was a robust predictor of sleep quality across all BMI groups. For non-obese individuals, the impact of sexual life on sleep quality persisted even after adjusting for health indicators. Conclusions The findings suggest that body weight may modulate how sleep quality is influenced by sexual life assessments, work-related stress, and somatic and mental health in healthcare workers.

Utilizing qualitative research methodologies, we used semi-structured interviews as the primary data collection method. The interview data underwent meticulous organization and were subjected to descriptive analysis.Results: 12 nurses assigned to pediatric infection wards frequently encounter occupational burnout, primarily attributed to increased work intensity, nurse-patient relationships, occupational frustration, psychological pressure, hospital infections, and various other contributing factors.Conclusion: We found that the severity of occupational burnout among nurses specializing in pediatric infectious diseases is noteworthy. Our recommendations include heightened consideration of this issue by government authorities and hospital administrators.Keywords: nurses, children, healthcare personnel, infectious infection area, occupational burnout, qualitative investigation

Background and aims: Nursing is a high-risk profession often associated with burnout, leading to conditions such as workplace fatigue and job dissatisfaction. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy and reality therapy training in reducing compassion fatigue and job burnout among the medical staff during the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test and a control group. A total of 45 male and female staff members from Kashani Hospital in Shahrekord were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to three groups: two experimental and one control (15 participants each). Participants completed questionnaires measuring compassion fatigue and job burnout prior to the intervention. After eight sessions of training in positive psychotherapy and reality therapy for the experimental groups, participants completed the questionnaires again for the post-test phase. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The findings indicated a significant difference between the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy and reality therapy training on compassion fatigue and job burnout among the medical staff, with reality therapy demonstrating greater effectiveness (p

Abstract The study aimed to assess the impact of experienced emotional states on the risk of the development of occupational burnout in midwives who experienced the death of a patient while on duty. The study was conducted on 54 midwives in Warsaw, Poland. We used the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) and the author’s questionnaire. The average professional burnout level of midwives participating in the study was determined as 5.08 ± 0.67. Helplessness (57.4%) and depression (48.1%) were the most frequently experienced emotions. The number of deaths of patients experienced by the respondents did not affect the severity of burnout (Z = − 0.753; p > 0.05). However, midwives who declared that they had experienced the death of a patient more than 10 times while on duty were more likely to experience a feeling of relief (2.83 vs. 2.00; Z = − 2.30; p 0.05). Depression has a significant impact on the risk of developing occupational burnout, which highlights the need to develop and implement effective support methods for midwives experiencing difficult emotions related to the death of patients while on duty.

Objective To investigate the mental health status of researchers in Huairou Science City and to analyze the impact and pathways of salivary cortisol (COR), occupational stress, and burnout on depression. Methods From July to September 2023, 420 researchers in Huairou Science City were selected as study subjects by a cluster random sampling method. Their occupational stress, burnout, and depression were surveyed with questionnaires, while salivary cortisol concentrations were measured. Amos 26.0 software was used to construct a chain mediation model to verify the pathway effects of salivary cortisol, occupational stress, and burnout on depression, and the bootstrap method was used to verify mediation effects. Results A total of 414 valid questionnaires were collected, with a response rate of 98.57%. The median concentration of salivary COR among the 414 researchers was 12.57 nmol/L. The rate of occupational stress was 38.89% (161/414), the rate of high occupational burnout was 30.19% (125/414), and the rate of depression was 21.50% (89/414). The researchers with a monthly salary below 9 000 RMB, or weekly working hours longer than 40 hours, or aged 30-40 years, had higher salivary COR concentrations (all P < 0.05); the researchers aged ≤ 30 years, or with bachelor's degrees, or married/cohabiting, or with a monthly salary below 9 000 RMB, or with weekly working hours longer than 40 hours had higher levels of occupational burnout (all P < 0.05); The researchers aged 31-40 years, or with a doctorate, or with weekly working hours longer than 40 hours, or with a monthly salary below 9 000 RMB, had higher levels of occupational stress (all P < 0.05); the researchers those aged ≤ 30 years, or with a master's degree and lower, or with a monthly salary below 9 000 RMB, or with weekly working hours longer than 40 hours had higher depression scores (all P < 0.05). Mediation model results showed that occupational stress had no direct predictive effect on depression but influenced depression indirectly through two pathways: occupational stress → salivary COR → depression and occupational stress → salivary COR → occupational burnout → depression, with effect sizes of 80.80% and 10.40%, respectively. Conclusions The levels of occupational stress, burnout, and depression among researchers in Huairou Science City cannot be ignored. The impact of occupational stress on depression was primarily mediated by intermediate variables. Managers should take necessary measures to reduce occupational burnout to mitigate depressive symptoms. The role of physiological indicators such as salivary COR in the mediation effect should be paid attention in order to fully understand the effect mechanisms of occupational stress on mental health.

Background: Burnout is a chronic problem prevalent in radiology, with a significant burden on individuals and healthcare systems. Discussion: A substantial portion of the literature on managing burnout has focused on individual-based remedies. We posit that burnout is a systemic problem and present an overview of some system-based strategies that could be employed to mitigate burnout in radiology. These include managing workload, optimizing work shifts, maximizing autonomy, limiting work-life conflicts, creating opportunities for professional fulfillment, utilizing user-friendly electronic medical records (EMR), deploying efficient picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), building system redundancy, leadership transparency, and fostering a healthy work environment. Conclusion: System-based strategies can help mitigate burnout. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: This study investigates the mediation of sleep quality between perceived health and occupational burnout in hospital nurses, considering the moderation of workplace violence and organizational culture. Background: Occupational factors lead to physical and mental distress, burnout, and sleep issues in nurses. Approximately two‐thirds of nurses experience burnout, impacting patient care quality and safety. Cultivating a positive organizational culture is essential for nursing workforce stability. Methods: This cross‐sectional study employed convenience sampling to recruit 346 nurses from a teaching hospital in southern Taiwan in July–August 2020 (response rate: 87.3%). Self‐administered questionnaires containing validated instruments were employed, including an adapted occupational burnout scale, the Chinese version of an organizational culture scale, a Perceived Health Questionnaire, a Workplace Violence Experience Scale, and the CPSQI; all instruments were reliable and valid. The analysis involved descriptive statistics, linear regression, and the Johnson–Neyman technique. Results: Nurses with better perceived health exhibited significantly lower occupational burnout (p < 0.001). Perceived health indirectly impacted burnout through sleep quality (p < 0.01) with organizational culture as a partial moderator. Bureaucratic organizational culture exacerbated this relationship. Additionally, decreased workplace violence moderated the connections among perceived health, sleep quality, and occupational burnout among nurses. Conclusions: Given the inverse correlation between nurses' perceived health and occupational burnout and considering factors such as workplace violence, organizational culture, and sleep quality, healthcare institutions can proactively take steps to enhance nurses' overall well‐being and mitigate burnout. Implications for nursing and health policy: By implementing wellness programs, mental health support, security training, robust reporting, and a zero‐tolerance approach to violence, healthcare stakeholders can foster a safe and supportive work environment for nurses, thus improving well‐being, patient outcomes, and healthcare quality.

Work-related stress has been linked to various negative outcomes among healthcare professionals. For nurses, stress can arise from numerous sources, including their interactions with patients. It is often perceived that nurses working in psychiatric hospitals experience greater stress and occupational burnout compared to nurses working in somatic hospitals. However, there is limited research addressing this specific issue. To bridge this gap, a study was conducted to compare the stress levels of nurses working in a psychiatric hospital and a somatic hospital within the same city. Background/Objectives: The aim of this paper was to report on the prevalence of stress and burnout among surveyed nurses employed in a somatic hospital and in a psychiatric hospital. Methods: The study group consisted of a total of 379 nurses—189 employed at a somatic hospital and 190 employed at a psychiatric hospital. The primary test used for statistical analyses was the nonparametric Mann–Whitney U test for assessing differences. Additionally, correlations between ordinal or quantitative variables were analyzed using Spearman's rho coefficient. Results: Among respondents working at a somatic hospital, the average levels of occupational burnout, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and sense of personal accomplishment were moderate. Similar results were observed among respondents employed at a psychiatric hospital. Conclusions: The workplace does not significantly differentiate professional burnout or coping strategies among the nurses surveyed. Among nurses working in hospitals for somatic patients, levels of depersonalization, turning to religion, and seeking support increase with age and seniority. In contrast, psychiatric nurses show higher levels of emotional exhaustion and overall MBI burnout as they age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To investigate and identify different profiles of occupational burnout among Chinese nurses and explore how these burnout profiles moderate the relationship between the nursing work environment and perceived care quality. Methods: Cross-sectional data retrieved from the Chinese Nursing Work Environment Survey (C-NWES) were used for analysis. Variables of interest included occupational burnout, the nursing work environment, nurses' perceived care quality, and demographic characteristics. Latent profile analysis was employed to identify potential profiles of occupational burnout, which were subsequently used as moderating variables to explore the relationship between the nursing work environment and perceived care quality. Results: Four profiles of occupational burnout were identified among Chinese nurses: Self-Fulfillment profile (38.3%), Emotional Exhaustion profile (37.7%), Lack of Accomplishment profile (16.6%), and Self-Isolation profile (7.4%). Among these, nurses in the Self-Fulfillment profile showed the greatest responsiveness to changes in the work environment, followed by those in the Self-Isolation profile, with the Emotional Exhaustion profile being the least responsive. Conclusions: The findings highlight the need for tailored interventions to address the specific needs of distinct nurse groups experiencing burnout, enabling organizations to improve nurses' well-being, work performance, and patient care quality.

Background: Studies on potential disruptions in rich club structure in nursing staff with occupational burnout are lacking. Moreover, existing studies on nurses with burnout are limited by their cross‐sectional design. Purpose: To investigate rich club reorganization in nursing staff before and after the onset of burnout and the underlying impact of anatomical distance on such reconfiguration. Study Type: Prospective, longitudinal. Population: Thirty‐nine hospital nurses (23.67±1.03 years old at baseline, 24.67±1.03 years old at a follow‐up within 1.5 years, 38 female). Field Strength/Sequence: Magnetization‐prepared rapid gradient‐echo and gradient‐echo echo‐planar imaging sequences at 3.0 T. Assessment: The Maslach Burnout Inventory and Symptom Check‐List 90 testing were acquired at each MRI scan. Rich club structure was assessed at baseline and follow‐up to determine whether longitudinal changes were related to burnout and to changes in connectivities with different anatomical distances (short‐, mid‐, and long range). Statistical Tests: Chi‐square, paired‐samples t, two‐sample t, Mann–Whitney U tests, network‐based statistic, Spearman correlation analysis, and partial least squares regression analysis. Significance level: Bonferroni‐corrected P<0.05. Results: In nurses who developed burnout: 1) Strengths of rich club, feeder, local, short‐, mid‐, and long‐range connectivities were significantly decreased at follow‐up compared with baseline. 2) At follow‐up, strengths of above connectivities and that between A5m.R and dlPu.L were significantly correlated with emotional exhaustion (r ranges from −0.57 to −0.73) and anxiety scores (r = −0.56), respectively. 3) Longitudinal change (follow‐up minus baseline) in connectivity strength between A5m.R and dlPu.L reflected change in emotional exhaustion score (r = 0.87). Longitudinal changes in strength of connectivities mainly involving parietal lobe were significantly decreased in nurses who developed burnout compared with those who did not. Data Conclusion: In nurses after the onset of burnout, rich club reorganization corresponded to significant reductions in strength of connectivities with different anatomical distances. Level of Evidence: 1 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The purpose of this article was to study the prevalence of burnout symptoms and their determinants in a group of women experiencing domestic violence. Design/methodology/approach: The study included 69 women who reported experiencing domestic violence. All of the subjects were working professionally at the time of the survey. The research was cross-sectional in nature. The study used a self-designed survey and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Findings: The results revealed that the largest number of female respondents showed high severity of symptoms of occupational burnout in the scope of emotional exhaustion and low severity of symptoms in the scope of depersonalization and personal accomplishment. The scores concerning emotional exhaustion were higher in women who were older, had longer job tenure, vocational education, and declared experience of physical violence. Practical implications: The research findings presented here underscore the need for complex workplace measures to recognize the problem and intervene based on education, skills training and instrumental support. These measures are relevant not only to the employee who is a victim of domestic violence, but also to the workplace from the point of view of organizational performance. Originality/value: The study fills a research gap that concerns the relationship between the experience of domestic violence and the risk of developing symptoms of burnout exactly in the group of Polish women who work.

Community-based service providers working with people experiencing homelessness encounter many occupational challenges and high turnover rates are a challenge in the sector. This qualitative study examined the perceived causes and decision paths of turnover among service providers working with people experiencing homelessness in Canada. In-depth interviews were completed with 40 service providers working in homeless service, supportive housing, and harm reduction programs. Thematic analysis and a deductive-based matrix analysis were used to identify causes and decision paths of turnover, respectively. Primary causes of employee turnover included: (1) career advancement and growth; (2) incongruence between providers' needs, values, and work position; (3) mental health deteriorations; (4) organizational stability and support issues; and (5) staff dismissal. Further, two contextual factors – low sectoral wages and a transitory work culture – shaped service providers' occupational experiences and had indirect effects on turnover. Push and pull decisions were the primary paths to voluntary turnover among participants. Overall, the findings highlight that employee turnover often occurs voluntarily when service providers experience unmet occupational or work-interacting personal needs, or want to pursue new career-related opportunities. Practice and policy recommendations, including use of realistic job previews and establishment of workforce development strategies, are made to prevent turnover. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study aimed to assess the impact of experienced emotional states on the risk of the development of occupational burnout in midwives who experienced the death of a patient while on duty. The study was conducted on 54 midwives in Warsaw, Poland. We used the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) and the author's questionnaire. The average professional burnout level of midwives participating in the study was determined as 5.08 ± 0.67. Helplessness (57.4%) and depression (48.1%) were the most frequently experienced emotions. The number of deaths of patients experienced by the respondents did not affect the severity of burnout (Z = − 0.753; p > 0.05). However, midwives who declared that they had experienced the death of a patient more than 10 times while on duty were more likely to experience a feeling of relief (2.83 vs. 2.00; Z = − 2.30; p < 0.05) and calmness (2.97 vs. 2.24; Z = − 1.95; p < 0.05). The experienced depression positively correlated with the level of exhaustion (rho = 0.465; p < 0.001) and the overall level of occupational burnout (rho = 0.291; p < 0.05). However, it was not correlated with the level of disengagement (p > 0.05). Depression has a significant impact on the risk of developing occupational burnout, which highlights the need to develop and implement effective support methods for midwives experiencing difficult emotions related to the death of patients while on duty.

Objective To understand the occurrence of occupational burnout among childcare workers in Sichuan Province and analyze its influencing factors. Methods An anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among childcare workers in infant care institutions for children under three years of age across 21 cities (prefectures) in the province. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were employed to examine the influencing factors of occupational burnout among childcare workers. Results Among 9 662 childcare workers, 3 933 (40.71%) experienced occupational burnout. Factors identified as risk factors for burnout included being aged ≤20 years (OR=1.67, 95%CI: 1.29-2.15), aged 21-30 years (OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.41-1.89), aged 31-40 years (OR=1.21, 95%CI: 1.05-1.39), being unmarried (OR=1.42, 95%CI: 1.27-1.59), having a college diploma (OR=1.15, 95%CI: 1.02-1.30) or a bachelor's degree or higher (OR=1.27, 95%CI: 1.08-1.48), working as a teacher (OR=1.19, 95%CI: 1.05-1.35), earning a monthly income of ≤2 000 yuan (OR=1.60, 95%CI: 1.31-1.96) or 2 001 to 4 000 yuan (OR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.07-1.53), and being dissatisfied with career development (OR=2.67, 95%CI: 2.43-2.93). Conclusion The status of occupational burnout among childcare workers in Sichuan Province is grim. Targeted interventions should be implemented to alleviate burnout, reduce employee turnover, and meet the talent needs of the childcare industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Migraine, a condition affecting 12% of the population, is a prevalent cause of disability, significantly impacts individuals during their most productive working years. Several studies have established that a migraine patient's job performance is often limited by absenteeism and presenteeism. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of migraines on occupational burnout, which affects up to 40% of workers. Methods: A subset of participants from the Negev Migraine Cohort, including both migraine patients and non-migraine controls, were asked to complete the study questionnaire. The main exposures of interest were migraine diagnosis and severity. The primary outcome was occupational burnout. Migraine severity and associated disability were evaluated using the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) score, psychiatric comorbidities using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale – 21 Items (DASS-21) scale and occupational burnout using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-GS version) scale. Statistical analyses included multivariable quantile regression models to identify associations and adjust for potential confounders. Results: In total, 675 migraine patients and 232 non-migraine participants participated in the study. Migraine patients exhibited higher rates of depression (mean DASS-21: 0.864 vs. 0.664, standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.262), tended to work longer hours (median weekly hours: 40.0 vs. 36.0, SMD = 0.148) and expressed a preference for remote work (20.3% vs. 10.3%, SMD = 0.097). Migraine patients reported significantly higher levels of occupational burnout (mean burnout score: 3.46 vs. 2.82, SMD = 0.469). Controlling for depression, anxiety and stress, migraine diagnosis (25th percentile estimate = 0.67, p = 0.002, 75th percentile estimate = 0.92, p = 0.032) and migraine severity (estimates: 2.2–5.3, p < 0.001 for all) were associated with higher levels of occupational burnout. Conclusions: Migraine diagnosis and severity is associated with an occupational burnout, after controlling for various psychological and work-related factors. The findings underscore the need for workplace adjustments to support migraine patients' participation in the work market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BACKGROUND: Fear of COVID-19 and its related complications can negatively affect well-being and contribute to less effective daily and professional functioning. Based on Maslach's burnout concept, this study aimed to verify the relationship between risk of contracting and fear of COVID-19, occupational burnout and job satisfaction in Polish teachers during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: Three hundred fifty-two teachers, aged between 22 and 68, participated in this study. In the studied sample, 252 people worked remotely, 41 in-person and 59 were hybrid workers. The Risk of Contracting COVID-19 Scale, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Brief Job Satisfaction Scale were used. RESULTS: Risk of contracting COVID-19 was positively related to fear of COVID-19 and emotional exhaustion. Moreover, fear of COVID-19 was negatively related to personal accomplishment and positively related to emotional exhaustion. Lastly, all three dimensions of occupational burnout were significantly related to job satisfaction. There was no direct relationship between fear of COVID-19 and job satisfaction. This relation was mediated by two scales of occupational burnout: personal accomplishment and emotional exhaustion. All three subscales of occupational burnout were significant predictors of job satisfaction, explaining 53% of its variance. CONCLUSIONS: The current study showed a relationship between the risk perception of COVID-19, occupational burnout and job satisfaction in Polish teachers during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results obtained in the study may contribute to the understanding of the effects of the pandemic for the professional group of educators. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BackgroundIn recent years, the importance of biosafety research has garnered significant attention due to its critical implications for public health and safety. Biosafety Laboratory (BSL) personnel face numerous challenges as they work with high-risk pathogens, including high-pressure environments, stringent safety protocols, and the risk of infection. Research indicates that occupational stress and burnout significantly affect the physical and mental well-being of laboratory personnel, potentially diminishing their work efficiency and capabilities. This study aims to investigate the effects of occupational burnout and sleep quality on the work ability of BSL personnel in Xinjiang, ultimately providing valuable insights for enhancing biosafety and improving work efficiency.MethodsIn July 2022, a cluster sampling method was employed to survey the staff of BSL in Xinjiang. The study utilized the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Work Ability Index to assess the levels of occupational burnout, sleep quality, and work ability among the BSL personnel. Statistical analyses were performed using R Studio 4.2.2 and AMOS 26.0. Through t-tests, analysis of variance, and logistic regression analyses, the study explored the current status and influencing factors of work ability among Xinjiang BSL personnel, as well as the interactive and mediating effects of occupational burnout and sleep quality on work ability.ResultsThe prevalence of occupational burnout was 67.4%, while the prevalence of sleep disorders was 38.9%. Interaction analysis revealed that BSL personnel experiencing both occupational burnout and sleep disorders faced a risk of impaired work ability 21.43 times greater than those without burnout and with good sleep quality (OR = 21.43, 95%CI: 14.30–32.12). Structural equation modeling indicated that occupational burnout indirectly impacts work ability through its effect on sleep quality. The indirect effect was significant with a path coefficient of β = −0.28 (0.64 × −0.43), p

BackgroundOccupational burnout is prevalent among doctors and nurses. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of ICU doctors and nurses regarding occupational burnout.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2023 and June 2024 at the Zhejiang Medical & Health Group Hangzhou Hospital in Zhejiang Province. Demographic information and KAP scores were collected through distributed questionnaires. Occupational burnout was measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS).ResultsThis study included 105 doctors and 165 nurses, with an average age of 32.23 ± 7.38 years. Among all the participants, 6 (2.22%) reported no occupational burnout, 230 (85.19%) experienced moderate occupational burnout, and 34 (12.59%) reported severe occupational burnout. The mean knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 9.64 ± 4.21 (possible range: 0–18), 29.01 ± 3.15 (possible range: 7–35), and 16.96 ± 4.29 (possible range: 6–30), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that a higher knowledge score was independently associated with more proactive practice (OR = 1.33, 95% CI: [1.18, 1.50], p

Método: Estudio cuantitativo, observacional, transversal y relacional con una estrategia de muestreo no probabilístico. Por conveniencia se obtuvo una muestra de 234 docentes de carreras, que respondieron la Escala de Engagement Laboral UWES-17, el Inventario de Burnout de Maslach, una escala de recursos disponibles para la docencia y un cuestionario sociodemográfico y de condiciones laborales, previo consentimiento informado. Resultados: Los docentes reportaron un alto engagement laboral en sus dimensiones de vigor, absorción y dedicación, un moderado agotamiento emocional y menor despersonalización y falta de realización personal. El burnout y el engagement mostraron correlaciones inversas entre sí en casi todos sus factores (p

BackgroundFatigue driving is an important cause of road traffic accidents in modern society, and the fatigue condition of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers has attracted widespread attention. Research on the fatigue status and influencing factors of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers in China is relatively rare at present. ObjectiveTo analyze the main characteristics of fatigue among heavy-duty commercial truck drivers and the impacts of factors such as working hours, insomnia, and occupational burnout on their fatigue status. MethodsUsing cluster sampling method, a cross-sectional study was conducted from July to August 2023, enrolling heavy-duty commercial truck drivers in long-distance freight logistics markets (stations) located in three administrative regions of W City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. A self-designed questionnaire was used to collect demographic and occupational characteristics of heavy-duty commercial truck drivers, and the Chinese versions of Fatigue Scale-14 (FS-14), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), and Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey (MBI-GS) were used to evaluate their fatigue, insomnia, and occupational burnout status, respectively. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Walls H test were used to compare intergroup differences, and Spearman correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between variables. Hierarchical regression models were used to study the impacts of selected variables on fatigue status. ResultsThis study obtained 311 valid questionnaires, with a valid recovery rate of 88.86% (311/350). The physical fatigue, mental fatigue, and total fatigue scores of the survey subjects in M (P25, P75) were 3.00 (2.00, 4.00), 2.00 (1.00, 3.00), and 5.00 (4.00, 6.00), respectively. The comparison results showed that, except for smoking, there were statistically significant differences in total fatigue scores between different groups of age, marital status, number of children, educational level, service length of freight transportation, average daily working time, and average monthly income (P

Objectives: Job strain in dentistry makes the profession highly susceptible to occupational burnout. People with high sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) perceive workplace as more stressful and more demanding. Emotional intelligence (EI) is both a trait and an ability, which helps individuals adapt to the environment and reduces burnout. This study examines the relationship between SPS and burnout among Polish dentists and whether EI may be a protective factor against burnout in a group of highly sensitive dentists. Material and Methods: Polish dentists (N = 201) answered a questionnaire, the short Polish version of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS-10), the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire -- Short Form (TEIQue-SF), the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), and the demographic data questionnaire. Results: Moderated hierarchical regression analyses showed that SPS can predict burnout factors exhaustion (p < 0.001) and disengagement (p = 0.012). Higher trait SPS was associated with higher burnout factors. Emotional intelligence can predict burnout factors exhaustion (p < 0.001) and disengagement (p < 0.001). Higher trait EI was associated with lower burnout factors. Also it turned out that EI moderates the relationship between SPS and burnout factor exhaustion (p = 0.015). The findings illustrated reverse buffering effect. UNIANOVA analyses showed that EI may have a protective effect on burnout, although this effect decreases for exhaustion and disappears for disengagement in the group of highly sensitive dentists. Conclusions: Sensory processing sensitivity can help to identify dentists who are at risk to develop burnout. Training to increase EI levels can be implemented to reduce the risk of burnout among dentists, although it appears to be insufficient among those at higher risk, i.e., the highly sensitive dentists. This shows the importance of searching for other possible factors that could protect highly sensitive dentists from burnout. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: Sleep disorders can significantly affect the performance and well-being of healthcare workers. This study explores the influence of body weight on the links between sleep quality and various self-reported health indicators -- including somatic and mental health, sexual life, and workrelated stress -- among healthcare workers. Material and Methods: A national cross-sectional survey was conducted in February -- April 2022 using a predominantly online, self-administered questionnaire. The group analyzed for this study included 1478 healthcare workers from 99 hospitals and specialized clinics across Poland. Results: Sleep disturbances, assessed via the 4-item Jenkins Sleep Scale scale, were reported by 16% of the participants. Over half (54.7%) of the respondents were categorized as overweight or obese based on their body mass index (BMI). A higher BMI was found to be associated with being male, age >50 years, working as a paramedic, possessing over ten years of work experience, and reporting poorer health and sexual life (p < 0.001). Sleep quality showed significant correlations with assessments of sexual life, stress levels, and occupational burnout (p < 0.001). These correlations remained significant after adjusting for BMI. Notably, in both univariate and adjusted models, sexual life assessment was a robust predictor of sleep quality across all BMI groups. For non-obese individuals, the impact of sexual life on sleep quality persisted even after adjusting for health indicators. Conclusions: The findings suggest that body weight may modulate how sleep quality is influenced by sexual life assessments, work-related stress, and somatic and mental health in healthcare workers.

Background and aims: Nursing is a high-risk profession often associated with burnout, leading to conditions such as workplace fatigue and job dissatisfaction. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy and reality therapy training in reducing compassion fatigue and job burnout among the medical staff during the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test and a control group. A total of 45 male and female staff members from Kashani Hospital in Shahrekord were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to three groups: two experimental and one control (15 participants each). Participants completed questionnaires measuring compassion fatigue and job burnout prior to the intervention. After eight sessions of training in positive psychotherapy and reality therapy for the experimental groups, participants completed the questionnaires again for the post-test phase. Data were analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The findings indicated a significant difference between the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy and reality therapy training on compassion fatigue and job burnout among the medical staff, with reality therapy demonstrating greater effectiveness (p<0.01). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that both positive psychotherapy and reality therapy training are effective in mitigating compassion fatigue and job burnout. Moreover, reality therapy is more effective than positive psychotherapy in achieving these outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aimed to examine the association between occupational burnout and psychological symptoms among Chinese medical staff, assuming social support to play a moderating role in the aforementioned relationship. The survey was conducted online from May 1 to June 28, 2022, and the questionnaires were distributed and retrieved through a web-based platform. The final sample was comprised of 1461 Chinese medical staff in this cross-sectional study. Several multiple linear regressions were performed to analyze the data. After controlling for potential confounding factors, all three dimensions of occupational burnout were associated with poorer psychological symptoms. Emotional exhaustion (β = 0.33; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.018, 1.479) had the strongest association with psychological symptoms, followed by depersonalization and diminished personal accomplishment. Moreover, medical staff with higher levels of friend support (β = −0.11; 95% CI, −4.063, −0.573) and significant other support (β = −0.10; 95% CI, −3.965, −0.168) were less likely to suffer from psychological symptoms when faced with occupational burnout. The results suggested that interventions aimed at lessening occupational burnout and boosting social support can be an effective way to promote the psychological health of medical staff.

Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to examine the impact of resilience, emotional intelligence (EI), and motivation on occupational burnout (OB) within the banking sector in Pakistan. Additionally, the study investigates the role of work misbehavior (WM) and occupational burnout as mediators in the relationship between resilience, EI, motivation, and OB. Design/Methodology/Approach: Data for the study was collected through questionnaires distributed among banking employees, targeting a total sample size of 480 participants. The analysis was conducted in two phases: first tests using SPSS and structural tests using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study developed ten hypotheses to test the relationships between the variables. Findings: The study revealed that nine out of the ten hypotheses were supported. Specifically, hypotheses H1 to H3, which proposed significant relationships between resilience, EI, motivation, and OB, were supported. Hypotheses H4 to H6, which suggested that resilience, EI, and motivation negatively influence WM, were also endorsed except for H5. The results indicated that EI is not directly related to WM but is mediated by OB. Implications/Originality/Value: The study's implications highlight the importance of resilience, EI, and motivation in reducing occupational burnout and work misbehavior in the banking sector. Understanding these relationships can help managers and HR professionals design interventions and training programs to enhance these attributes among employees, ultimately reducing OB and WM.

Health inequities for those living with HIV have persisted for key populations in the United States and globally. To address these inequities, in accordance with Goals 2 and 3 of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States , the evidence indicates that the therapeutic alliance could be effective in addressing impediments that undermine HIV outcomes. Nonetheless, the therapeutic alliance relies on health care providers, particularly nurses, reporting burnout and moral injury, further exacerbated by COVID-19. Burnout and moral injury have forced the systemic undervaluing of nurses as a social–cultural norm to the fore—in part a legacy of the economic model that underpins the health care system. Given a looming health workforce shortage and negative effects for key populations with HIV already experiencing health inequities, historic opportunities now exist to advance national institutional reforms to support nurses and other health professionals. This opportunity calls for concerted attention, multisectoral dialogue, and action, with nurses participating in and leading policy and interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Occupational burnout has been introduced as one of the most critical social problems. The present study aimed to evaluate occupational burnout among a group of Iranian endodontists. Material and Methods: Seventy-two Iranian endodontists participated in this cross-sectional study by completing the abbreviated Maslach Burnout Inventory (aMBI), consisting of one questionnaire in three domains. The data were analyzed with SPSS 21, using the chi-squared test, correlation test, and linear regression. Results: Concerning occupational burnout, 2.9% of the participants had severe emotional exhaustion, 4.2% exhibited an intense feeling of decreased accomplishment, 67.2% exhibited moderate occupational burnout, and 78.9% of the participants were satisfied with their job. Of all the variables, only the years elapsed since graduation had an inverse and significant correlation with occupational burnout among endodontists. Conclusion: The overall mean scores of endodontists showed a moderate rate of occupational burnout compared to the standard mean scores in this field. Recent graduates exhibited higher scores.

Background: Narratives convey information and emotion, evoke understanding, empathy, and connection. Healthcare professionals can use narratives to reduce burnout, benefiting them, patients, and colleagues. Story slams are narrative sharing events used for group reflection, providing an opportunity for participants and listeners to improve their well-being by processing complex emotions and identities. Story slams have traditionally been popular with creative writers and nonprofit organizations. Methods: Following a local event hosted by The Moth, the Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine (LKSOM) Narrative Medicine program hosted nine story slams over five years with 93 presenters including students and health systems staff. Through a mixed-method analysis, the authors examined the stories for thematic patterns and surveyed presenters to investigate how the experience had impacted markers such as job satisfaction, stress levels, and connection to patients. Eleven presenters were interviewed to provide additional information about the impact they experienced. Results: Patient-centered care, resilience, and the value of learning comprised over half of all themes presented. Following the event, many presenters experienced improved connections with patients, and everyone reported feeling neutral or increased satisfaction with their profession. The interviews conveyed participation, created a lasting impact, fostered a sense of community, and increased appreciation for diversity. Conclusions: Overall, story slams nourish humanity and promote diversity, enthusiasm, and encouragement. This study and others suggest that story slams are inexpensive and effective events that can help reduce burnout and provide academic medical centers with a way to restore and cultivate community among students, physicians, and staff.

Abstract Background Previous studies have demonstrated a strong association between depression and job burnout among healthcare professionals, but the results have been inconsistent, and there is a lack of in-depth exploration of such a relationship among different healthcare professions. The present study aims to investigate the interrelationships between depression and burnout among Chinese healthcare professionals and whether there are differences in the networks of these symptoms between doctors and nurses. Methods The Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey and the 2-item Patient Health Questionnaire were employed to assess job burnout and depression among 3,684 healthcare professionals. The translation has been refined to ensure accuracy and academic suitability. Subsequently, network analysis was conducted on 2,244 participants with a higher level of job burnout to identify core symptoms and explore the associations between job burnout and depression. Results The present study showed a network association between lack of interest and pleasure in things and being exhausted from work, excessive tiredness facing work, tendency to collapse at work, and lack of passion for work than before among healthcare professionals, as well as a notable difference in the network association between lack of interest and pleasure in things and lack of passion for work than before between nurses and doctors. Conclusions The depression-burnout network structures differ between doctors and nurses, highlighting the need for targeted intervention measures for both groups.

Abstract The present study conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis to systematically review the relationship between occupational burnout and work pressure among Chinese police officers. Additionally, the study explored the mediating role of coping styles using a meta-analytic structural equation model. The investigation involved a thorough search of CNKI, PubMed, PsychInfo, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases, resulting in the identification of a total of 39 studies with 124 effect sizes and 14,089 police officers. The findings revealed a positive correlation between work pressure and occupational burnout among Chinese police officers (r = 0.410, 95% CI = [0.347, 0.469]). Furthermore, negative coping styles mediate the relationship between work pressure and occupational burnout. Importantly, these conclusions held true across various work regions for police officers. These results provide insights into the relationship magnitude between work pressure and occupational burnout in Chinese police work and shed light on the underlying mechanisms. Based on these findings, it is recommended that interventions focusing on reducing work pressure and fostering positive coping styles be implemented to mitigate occupational burnout among police officers.

Abstract In recent years, with the unremitting advancement of higher education reform, academics have been experiencing stress associated with conducting scientific research. In this study focusing on university teachers in China, we adopted a stepwise regression method and reviewed related literature to construct a mechanism of academic stress and occupational burnout. Specifically, we tested job satisfaction and relative deprivation as mediating and moderating variables and conducted empirical research on 1239 teachers from 15 universities in eastern, central, and western China. Our findings show that: (1) academic stress has a significant positive effect on occupational burnout; (2) job satisfaction has a partial role as the intermediary agent between academic stress and occupational burnout; and (3) relative deprivation positively moderates the relationship between academic stress and job satisfaction, indicating that teachers in universities and colleges are also affected by relative deprivation and the perception of inequity. These findings have significant value in the management of higher education and academic research.

Objective: This study aims to explore the effect of noise in the emergency department on the occupational burnout and the resignation intentions of medical staff. Methods: This retrospective study selected 42 medical staff (group A) in the emergency department of our hospital from March 2020 to March 2021 and 39 medical staff (group B) in the rehabilitation department during the same period as research subjects. Noise levels in the daily working environment of medical staff were collected. The Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey and Intent to Leave Scale was used to evaluate occupational burnout and resignation intention. A multivariate linear regression analysis was adopted to explore the effects of noise exposure level in the emergency department on occupational burnout and resignation intention. Results: The scores of emotional fatigue, work apathy and sense of achievement in group A were higher than those in group B (P < 0.05), among which reverse scoring was adopted for sense of accomplishment. Group A had significantly higher scores of resignation intention I, resignation intention II and resignation intention III than group B (P < 0.001). The department of group A had significantly higher noise level than that of group B (P < 0.001). The Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that noise level in the emergency department was correlated with the occupational burnout and resignation intention of medical staff (all P < 0.05). Conclusions: The emergency department is exposed to a high noise level, which is correlated with the occupational burnout and resignation intentions of medical staff. Therefore, hospitals should give importance to noise exposure in the emergency departments and adopt positive coping strategies to reduce the effect of noise on medical staff and the resignation rate.

Introduction: Considering the importance of the nursing profession, which serves as the link between the country’s health and treatment organization and patients, most recent research has aimed to investigate nurses’ career and family problems. However, fewer studies have addressed intervention and treatment approaches in this regard. This research was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of group therapy, based on acceptance and commitment, on occupational burnout, couple burnout, and family resilience among married nurses.Methods: The research method was experimental, utilizing a pre-test-post-test design with follow-up phases at one month and three months. The statistical population comprised all the nurses from one of the hospitals in Tehran during the 2020-2022 Coronavirus outbreak. The sample consisted of 24 nurses, 12 in the experimental and 12 in the control group, selected via simple random sampling. The questionnaires used in this research were Meslash’s Burnout Inventory (1981), Pines’s Couple Burnout Measure (1996), and Sixbey’s Family Resilience Assessment Scale (2006). The data were analyzed using a one-way repeated measures Analysis of Variance.Results: The results demonstrated that therapy based on acceptance and commitment significantly reduced occupational and couple burnout and increased family resilience among married nurses (P
