“…In the light of our results, HCWs working with long work schedules may be targeted in priority to improve these health risky behaviors [19,20]. Burnout is extremely frequent in HCWs [21] and was reported in 57% of HCWs working with long schedules in the AMADEUS survey. Future studies could determine if switching from a long-work schedule to a 7-hour schedule may improve burnout and psychological demand in HCW.…”

Aim. To determine which long schedules are associated with the better self-reported work conditions and health risky behaviors in Healthcare workers (HCWs). Background. HCWs can work with 7-hour, 5 days/weeks or with long work schedules (ten to 12-hour, 3days/week). Methods. A survey was sent to public and private national healthcare facilities. The method followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Statement guidelines. Work environment was measured using the Job Content Questionnaire and Burnout using the French version of the 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scale. Results. 3133 HCWs were recruited: 2369(75.6%) nurses and 764(24.4%) nurse assistants, of those 1811 (57.8%) (1366 nurses and 445 nurse assistants) had a 7-hour schedule and 1322 (42.2%) (1003 nurses and 319 nurse assistants) had a long work schedule. In multivariate analyses, HCWs working with a long schedule reported significantly higher rates of High psychological demand, Burnout, number of daily smoked cigarettes, coffee consumption and reported more frequently sleeping less than 5 hours/night independently of working in public sector, Hospital (vs. medico-social facility), having a full-time job, constant schedules, planned schedules, night shift job, working in medical specialty/psychiatry/critical care department, age, being partnered or having children at home. Conclusions. Some HCWs may prefer long schedules to get more resting days. However, nurses and nurse assistants working with these schedules report higher burden of work conditions and worse health risky behaviors aiming at counteracting this burden. Implications for Nursing Management. Health-promoting work schedules should be taken into account to improve high psychological demand and burnout in HCWs with long schedules.

“…Previous research, including a comprehensive review and a meta-analysis, suggests that roughly 28.8% (95% CI, 25.3-32.5%) of medical residents experience depressive symp-toms [9]. During the COVID-19 pandemic, anxiety was found to be particularly prevalent among healthcare professionals, with estimated rates ranging from 40% (95% CI: 29-52%) to 41.3% (95% CI: 30.2-52.9%) [51][52][53]. Similarly, depression was found to occur at a rate ranging from 30.2% (95% CI, 29.4-31.1%) to 37% (95% CI: 29-45%) among healthcare professionals [51][52][53].…”

Medical residents constitute a vulnerable population susceptible to mental health disorders. In Italy, this was evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, when medical residents served on the front line and provided significant support to healthcare services. Therefore, the working group on “Public Mental Health” of the Medical Residents’ Council of the Italian Society of Hygiene, Preventive Medicine, and Public Health (S.It.I.) designed the “Residents’ mental health investigation, a dynamic longitudinal study in Italy” (ReMInDIt). This longitudinal study aims to assess the mental status of medical residents and to explore potential cause–effect relationships between risk/protective factors (identified among sociodemographic, residency program, and lifestyle characteristics) and mental health outcomes (anxiety and depressive symptoms). Data will be collected from a study population of 3615 residents enrolled in Italian residency programs in public health, occupational medicine, and forensic medicine through an online questionnaire that includes validated tools, requires 10 min for completion, and is disseminated by the residents’ Councils. It will be followed by a follow-up administration after 12 months. The ReMInDIt study will play a significant role in generating evidence crucial for enhancing mental health services and promoting protective factors for the mental well-being of this important segment of healthcare professionals.

“…32 Measures to prevent or alleviate psychological distress include ensuring support from close persons, such as family and friends, 37 addressing health risk behaviors (including overweight/obesity, tobacco smoking, hazardous drinking, insufficient physical activity and sleep reduction), improving organizational/planification issues and reducing sustained bullying in the workplace. 38 In addition, there have been several attempts to protect and promote the psychological well-being of healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. A team in the UK developed a digital learning package including guidance, support and signposting related to psychological well-being for healthcare workers.…”

AimThis study investigated work impairment and its associated factors among geriatricians during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic.MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was carried out using an anonymous online survey questionnaire administered to members of the Japanese Geriatric Society between October and December 2022. The questionnaire included questions regarding psychological distress (Kessler Psychological Distress Scale), fear of COVID‐19 (Fear of COVID‐19 Scale) and work impairment (Work Functioning Impairment Scale). Multivariate logistic regression analyses were carried out to determine the factors associated with work impairment. Causal mediation analyses were performed to delineate the relationship between work impairment, psychological distress and fear of COVID‐19.ResultsThe analytic sample included 386 geriatricians, and work impairment was observed in 24.8% of them. Work impairment was associated with age, prefecture where the institution was located and fear of COVID‐19. Mediation analysis showed that the effect of fear of COVID‐19 on work impairment was almost completely mediated by psychological distress.ConclusionDuring the COVID‐19 pandemic, work impairment was commonly observed among geriatricians. We found that fear of COVID‐19 might cause work impairment; however, this effect was exerted entirely through psychological distress. This implies that interventions to prevent or reduce work impairment among doctors should mainly target psychological distress; however, the fear of COVID‐19, if it causes psychological distress, should also be addressed. Managers of hospitals and long‐term care facilities must take steps to protect healthcare workers' mental well‐being and maintain work productivity. Therefore, understanding the factors related to work impairment might help them devise effective measures. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2023; ••: ••–••.
