Introduction Preventing burnout and promoting resilience are important to the well-being of health care professionals and the quality of patient care. Indeed, it’s a promising way to mitigate the negative effects of stressors and allow professional growth. Objectives study the association between job satisfaction and resilience in medical interns and residents. Methods As part of a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study, interns and medical residents completed an online self-questionnaire using ’Google Forms’. It collected socio-demographic data and assessed the level of job satisfaction using a 5-point Likert-type scale for each item. The Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) was used to assess the level of resilience. Results The total number of participants was 56, of which 64.3% were medical residents.75% of the participants worked in a medical department and most had a number of shifts per month ≥4. The average years of practice was 2.27±1.23 years. Participants expressed dissatisfaction at work with salary (69.6%), task allocation and organization (66.1%), availability of resources (66.1%), comfort (57.1%), safety (53.6%) and supervision (50%). Referring to the BRS scale, higher resilience scores were objectified in male participants (p=0.002). The level of resilience decreased with the number of years of practice (p=0.039). Good satisfaction by management and recognition at work could enhance the level of resilience (p=0.029 and p=0.043 respectively). Conclusions The results of our study suggest that dissatisfaction with work-related aspects may influence the level of resilience. These results deserve special attention to improve job satisfaction and preserve resilience. Disclosure No significant relationships.
IntroductionSexual relationship is affected by the emotional factors, changes in women’s body, sexual dysfunctionsand also common beliefs about sex in pregnancy. Couples might tend to avoid sexual intercourse in pregnancy due to different beliefs.ObjectivesOur objective was the evaluation of sexual related and common beliefs among pregnant womens.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional and descriptive study. We targeted Tunisian pregnant women whatever the term of pregnancy. We collected data using a self-questionnaire performed with Google Forms and posted regularly on social networks over a period of six months. In order to assess the most common beliefs, we used a panel of questions inspired by the literature.Results34 pregnant women participated to the study. Mean age was 31,56 years (SD =3,25). All the participants had a secondry or university education (5.9% and 94.1% respectively). Ninteen women (55.9%) were multiparous with 44% in the third trimester.Among participants, 20.6% believe that sexual intercourse can be harmful to the baby, 41.2% believe that the number of intercourse should be limited during pregnancy and 17.6% thought that sexual intercourse should be stopped in the first three months.In relation to body image, 11.8% of women approve that pregnancy takes women’s all beauty and 8.8% thought that their bodies weren’t attractives as before for spouses. About a quarter of our population (23.5%) agreed that pregnant women lose sexual desires and 14.7% approved that intercourse satisfies only men. Only one women (2.9%) reported that intercourse during pregnancy is considered a sin.ConclusionsWe have identified through this study different beliefs about sexuality during pregnancy, sometimes aberrant and which can affect the sexuality of couples. Attention of health professionals should be attracted to this issue and sexuality should definitely be integrated into prenatal care and counselling.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared
