“…The present study showed that the mean MCS score was significantly below the normative values, and nearly 30% of young doctors reported MCS scores that were 1 SD below the normative values. The results of a previous study using a 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) also reported that the mean mental composite score was 1 SD below the normative values [23] . A survey conducted in Malta also indicated that 49.4% of young doctors faced significant psychological distress [24] .…”

Background Psychological and physical problems regarding the quality of life (QOL) of doctors have attracted increasing attention in recent years, especially in China. The objective of this study was to measure the mental health and physical fitness of young clinical doctors with the SF-36 and to evaluate related psychometric properties and factors.Subjects and methods Young doctors from Guizhou Provincial People’s Hospital completed the SF-36 between November 1, 2017, and February 28, 2018. The Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) were measured to represent physical and mental health conditions.Results A total of 444 doctors aged 20–40 years, with 138 (31.08%) surgeons, 110 (24.77%) physicians, 26 (5.86%) pediatricians, 28 (6.31%) obstetricians/gynecologists and 142 (31.98%) doctors from other departments were enrolled in this study, and their data were analyzed. The mean PCS scores (71.30 ± 16.54 vs. 77.54 ± 15.96, p < 0.0001) and MCS scores (63.72 ± 18.91 vs. 71.29 ± 17.86, p < 0.0001) were significantly lower than the normative values of Chinese respondents. Pediatricians and obstetricians/gynecologists reported the lowest PCS and MCS scores. Young doctors with master’s degrees and above (OR = 1.68, 95%CI: 1.03–2.75, p < 0.05), those who were unmarried (OR = 2.40, 95%CI: 1.40–4.08, p < 0.01), and those who had low family incomes (OR = 2.45, 95%CI: 1.00-6.01, p < 0.05) had increased odds of poor MCS scores.Conclusions Poor mental and physical health were common in young doctors in China. Pediatricians and obstetricians/gynecologists had the poorest physical and mental health status. Having a high education level, being unmarried and having a low family income were negatively associated with mental health.

“…A high SJL score may result from staying up late due to socialising: such time spent with social support, i.e. friends and other acquaintances, is considered a protective factor against burnout (Wittmann et al 2006;Śliwiński et al 2014;Woodhead et al 2014;Hyman et al 2017). However, this relationship requires further investigations, which should also encompass the negative effect of SJL on cardiometabolic profile (Rutters et al 2014).…”

“…Burnout has been linked to factors associated with both the work environment and personal disposition. For example, high emotional intelligence, high agreeableness and low neuroticism were found to play a protective role (Rabatin et al 2016;van der Wal et al 2016;Lindeman et al 2017), while risky alcohol consumption, insomnia, alexithymia or poor general mental health are believed to be associated with a high risk of burnout (Pedersen et al 2016;Hyman et al 2017;Metlaine et al 2017). More precise identification of risk factors, or predictors, of burnout symptoms may facilitate more effective prophylaxis, early diagnosis and improved therapeutic intervention.…”

Burnout syndrome can be described as a set of psychological and somatic responses to chronic stress related to professional work. The aim of this study was to verify whether chronotype and social jetlag (SJL) are predictors of burnout symptoms among physical therapists. The studied sample consisted of 61 physical therapists. Variables of interest included raw scores of the following tools: the Link Burnout Questionnaire (LBQ), Chronotype Questionnaire (CQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and an authored questionnaire regarding sociodemographics and information required to calculate SJL. Linear regression models were constructed to predict LBQ dimension scores. An increase in the Psychophysical Exhaustion score was associated with a decrease in CQ Morningness-Eveningness (ME) score, an increase in CQ Distinctness of the Rhythm (DI) score and a decrease in SJL. Also, the Psychophysical Exhaustion score was higher for subjects reporting fairly poor quality sleep (PSQI) than for rating it as very good. An interaction was identified between SJL and ME. An increase in Sense of Professional Ineffectiveness was predicted by a decreased SJL score, and increased Disillusionment was associated with higher DI score. Both chronotype and SJL may prove useful predictors of certain aspects of burnout among physical therapists, but they should be considered together.

“…Operating rooms are highly stressful environments involving complex, respectful, and essential interactions. Surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses can develop health problems, social issues and substance use due to stress and burnout 3,4 . Employee disengagement is estimated to cost around 450 billion USD per year, and illness-related absences are common in burned out employees 5 .…”

The effect of a one-time 15-minute guided meditation (Isha Kriya) on stress and mood disturbances among operating room professionals: a prospective interventional pilot study

Background: Operating room professionals are exposed to high levels of stress and burnout. Besides affecting the individual, it can compromise patient safety and quality of care as well. Meditation practice is getting recognized for its ability to improve wellness among various populations, including healthcare providers. Methods: Baseline stress levels of perioperative healthcare providers were measured via an online survey using a Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaire. An in-person meditation workshop was demonstrated during surgical grand rounds and an international anesthesia conference using a 15-minute guided Isha Kriya meditation. The participants were then surveyed for mood changes before and after meditation using a Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire. Results: Surgeons and anesthesiologists were found to have higher median (interquartile range) Perceived Stress Scores as compared to nurses respectively (17 [12, 20] and 17 [12, 21] vs 14 [9, 19]; P = 0.01). Total mood disturbances were found to be significantly reduced after meditation in both the surgical grand rounds (pre-meditation median [IQR] 99 [85, 112] vs 87 [80, 93] post-meditation; P < 0.0001) and anesthesia conference cohorts (pre-meditation 92 [86, 106] vs 87 [81, 92] post-meditation; P < 0.0001). Conclusions: Isha Kriya, a guided meditation, is easy to learn and takes less than 15 minutes to complete. This meditation technique improves mood changes and negative emotions among operating room professionals and could be used as a potential tool for improving wellness.
