Abstract Objectif. Le syndrome d’épuisement professionnel est fréquent chez les travailleurs de la santé en oncologie. Non diagnostiqué et incorrectement pris en charge, le burnout peut avoir un impact négatif sur le rendement professionnel. L’Institut de Cancérologie d’Akanda (ICA) est un centre hospitalier ultra-moderne qui se veut une référence en matière de prise en charge du cancer en Afrique centrale. L’objectif de l’étude est de mesurer la fréquence du burnout au sein du personnel soignant de l’Institut de Cancérologie d’Akanda et d’évaluer les principaux facteurs de risque. Patients et méthodes. Nous avons mené une étude transversale à l’Institut de cancérologie d’Akanda… More >

Abstract Although employers believe that encouraging and supporting physical exercise activities by purchasing fitness equipment and building sports venues can improve employees’ well-being, the utilization rate is rather low. Since most of the evidence of the well-being promotion in the workplace concentrated on the perspectives of organizational factors and psychosocial factors and focused on the reduction of the negative affect of well-being, it is still an open question whether physical exercise has benefits on both negative and positive affect of wellbeing and who benefits more from physical exercise. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of physical… More >

Especially among businesses and private companies, which faced many restrictions due to the special conditions of the pandemic. Therefore, the present study aimed to design an artificial neural network with MLP technique to analyze the relationship between demographic variables, resilience, COVID-19 and burnout in start-ups in Iran. The research method was quantitative. Managers and employees of start-ups formed the statistical population of the study, based… More >

Abstract Scheduling a sports tournament is a complex optimization problem, which requires a large number of hard constraints to satisfy. Despite the availability of several such constraints in the literature, there remains a gap since most of the new sports events pose their own unique set of requirements, and demand novel constraints. Specifically talking of the strictly time bound events, ensuring fairness between the different teams in terms of their rest days, traveling, and the number of successive games they play, becomes a difficult task to resolve, and demands attention. In this work, we present a similar situation with a recently… More >

Abstract This study was to investigate the effects of mind-body exercise on burnout and perceived stress among female undergraduate students. A sample of 146 female undergraduate students took part in this study. They were assigned to mind-body exercise group (n = 91) and control group (n = 55). Mind-body exercise group received three 90-min sessions of Baduanjin exercise per week lasting for 12-weeks. There was no intervention in the control group. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey was used to assess burnout level, and the 10-item perceived stress scale was used to assess stress level. Significant decreases in emotional exhaustion (p <… More >

Abstract Background: Physician burnout has many undesirable consequences, including nega‐ tive impact on patient care delivery and physician career satisfaction. Electronic health records (EHRs) may exacerbate burnout by increasing physician workload.
Objective: To determine burnout in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) specialists by assessing stress associated with EHRs.
Design: Electronic survey study of ACHD providers.
Setting: Canada and United States.
Participants: Three hundred eighty‐three ACHD specialists listed on the Adult Congenital Heart Association directory between February and April 2017.
Outcome Measures: Burnout was measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) to understand factors contributing to work life and EHR satisfaction. Chi‐… More >

Abstract Background: Physicians are exposed to workplace factors that may result in acute or chronic stress resulting in burnout. This may impact the productivity and result in suboptimal patient care practices.
Methods: We surveyed pediatric cardiology attending physicians at our institution to assess their perception of burnout and work-life balance using the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Areas of Work-Life Survey.
Results: Forty-five out of the 50 pediatric cardiology attendings responded to the survey. They were divided into 4 groups: Interventional/Electrophysiology [n = 3], Cardiac Intensive Care/Inpatient [n = 8], Non-Invasive Imaging [n = 6], and Outpatient [n = 28]. The… More >
