“…As in other studies, we found direct relationships between burnout and stress, 36 , 37 self-compassion and mindfulness, 38 , 39 and self-compassion and resilience. 40 , 41 We found inverse relationships between stress and mindfulness, 42 , 43 burnout and self-compassion 40 , 44 and the emotional exhaustion component of burnout and resilience, 45 , 46 also reported previously. We found a weaker correlation of empathy components (only depersonalization component of burnout was significantly correlated with perspective taking component of empathy), showing a weaker relationship between burnout and empathy overall.…”

Residency is a high-risk period for physician burnout. We aimed to determine the short-term stability of factors associated with burnout, application of these data to previous conceptual models, and the relationship of these factors over 3 months. Physician wellness questionnaire results were analyzed at 2 time points 3 months apart. Associations among variables within and across time points were analyzed. Logistic regression was used to predict burnout and compassionate care. A total of 74% of residents completed surveys. Over 3 months, burnout (P = .005) and empathy (P = .04) worsened. The most significant cross-sectional relationship was between stress and emotional exhaustion (time 1 r = 0.61, time 2 r = 0.68). Resilience was predictive of increased compassionate care and decreased burnout (P < .05). Mindfulness was predictive of decreased burnout (P < .05). Mitigating stress and fostering mindfulness and resilience longitudinally may be key areas of focus for improved wellness in pediatric residents. Larger studies are needed to better develop targeted wellness interventions.

“…Strengthening their coping resources at work and guiding them to adopt emotion-and problemfocused strategies are critical to assist them to cope with daily stressors. 57 Because of the cultural diversity of women healthcare professionals in the UAE healthcare system, there is a need to individualise stress management coping techniques to target and consider all potential mediators of stress across different groups of women. 57 Although 60% of participants reported poor subjective sleep quality, morning and bedtime salivary cortisol levels were not significantly correlated with quality of sleep.…”

Background: Stress is globally recognised as a risk factor impacting workers' health and workplace safety. Women healthcare professionals are at risk for considerable stress given the demanding nature of their jobs and current working conditions. This study assessed levels of stress among women healthcare professionals using measures of their cortisol levels, subjective stress and quality of sleep. Participants and Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 335 apparently healthy adult women healthcare professionals working in the United Arab Emirates. Participants provided morning and bedtime saliva samples for analysis of their cortisol levels. The Perceived Stress Scale, Stress Symptoms Scale, Brief Coping Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used to assess perceived stress level, symptoms of stress, stress-coping strategies and sleep quality, respectively. Results: In total, 121 (36.15%) women had impaired morning cortisol levels (below the normal range of 0.094-1.551 µg/dL) and 48 (14.3%) had impaired bedtime cortisol levels (above 0.359 µg/dL). Around 57% of women reported moderate levels of perceived stress, with the most frequently reported stress symptoms being heart rate and back/neck pain. Poor sleep quality was reported by around 60% of participating women. No significant association was found between cortisol and psychosocial measurements of stress or sleep quality. However, night shift and longer shift duration (more than 8 hrs) were significantly associated with impaired morning and bedtime cortisol levels (P ≥ 0.05). Impaired cortisol levels were strongly dependent on using adaptive coping strategies such as active coping, acceptance and seeking emotional support (P ≥ 0.05). Conclusion: Evaluating cortisol levels and subjective stress could help to identify groups with impaired response to stress and elevated cortisol levels. Our findings support the need to examine shift work patterns and stress coping strategies in women healthcare professionals to promote their health and productivity and maintain workplace safety.

“…Stress is defined as any discomfort perceived by the individual that is stimulated by activities perceived as too intense and frequent, which exceed a person’s coping capabilities and resources to manage. Successfully management or minimization of stress depends on the individual’s ability to identify and adapt using coping strategies 1. The purpose of coping is to maintain psychological health and inhibit manifestations of stress-associated symptoms.…”

BACKGROUND No study has examined the stress level and coping strategies among critical care nurses in Saudi Arabia. OBJECTIVES Examine perceived stress and coping behaviors among nurses in intensive care units in Saudi Arabia, and the influence of coping mechanisms on stress. DESIGN Descriptive cross-sectional. SETTING Two tertiary training hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Nurses from cardiac, surgery and pediatric intensive care units responded to an online survey. Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) and the Brief COPE Inventory were used as primary research tools. Multivariate methods were used to analyze the data. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Stress levels, coping strategies, and associated factors. SAMPLE SIZE 154 nurses. RESULTS The majority of the respondents reported a moderate level of stress in the past month (87.0%). Mean (SD) scores for nurses working in the cardiac ICU indicated significantly higher levels of stress compared to surgical ICU (18.18 [3.88] vs 6.17 [3.21], P =.025). Belief in religion was the most common coping behavior while the use of substances was the lowest (mean scores [SD] 6.70 [ 1.72] vs 2.22 [0.81]). In the multivariate analysis, behavioral disengagement ( P =.016) and self-blame ( P <.001) intensified the PSS-10 score, whereas acceptance ( P =.048) reduced the PSS-10 score. CONCLUSION The additional knowledge that behavioral disengagement and blaming aggravate stress can serve as the basis in formulating work-related stress reduction strategies among nurses caring for critical patients. LIMITATIONS The use of self-reports, convenience sampling, and selected demographic factors may have limited the scope and generalizability of the findings and induced social desirability bias.
