Cognitive functioning, sleep quality, and work performance in non-clinical burnout: The role of working memory

Abstract: We investigated the relationship between cognitive functioning, work performance, and sleep in non-clinical burnout. In a working population, an online survey was conducted with additional online neuropsychological tests of varying complexity, measuring attention and different components of working memory, of which the coordinating subcomponent the 'Central Executive' is thought to be the most vulnerable to stress. Results indicate that nonclinical burnout is associated with more-though not severe-sleep proble… Show more

“…In terms of surgeons and medical error, one area of research that may be particularly important is the relationship between burnout and cognitive impairments [ 72 ]. For example, two studies observed significant associations between burnout and cognitive decline only in complex cognitive tasks whereas performance on less complex tasks was within the normal range [ 73 , 74 ]. Interestingly, burnout is associated with poorer performance on cognitive tasks tapping attention and visuo-spatial constructional ability [ 75 ].…”

“…Approximately 10-30% of the population worldwide suffer from insomnia [2]. It has been shown that insomnia is associated with considerable deterioration of quality of life, higher prevalence of depressive disorder, cognitive impairment and higher risk of work absenteeism [3][4][5]. In addition, insomnia is generally associated with a variety of medical conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, migraine and cancer [6][7][8][9], even higher risk of mortality [10].…”
