“…Koreki et al . () reported a similar relationship, but within the singular sample of Japanese psychiatrists. Our contribution is that we assessed psychologists and nurses within mental health care, as well, thus adding to the available empirical knowledge about the role of supervisory support for mental health professionals.…”

Introduction Given the global shortage of mental health professionals, high turnover rates within this workforce are concerning. We used United States of America Veterans Health Administration data to add to the limited knowledge about this topic. Aim We examined predictors of turnover intention, or an employee's cognitive withdrawal from their job, in a large sample of direct care mental health professionals, separating among occupations to increase the pragmatic relevance of our findings. Method Survey data from 10 997 mental health employees working in direct patient contact (2432 registered nurses, 3769 social workers, 2520 psychologists and 1276 psychiatrists) were used in a cross-sectional design with structural equation modelling techniques for model testing. Results Job satisfaction was predicted by civility (courteous and respectful workplace behaviours) and supervisory support. Job satisfaction predicted emotional exhaustion which predicted turnover intention. Job satisfaction also directly predicted turnover intention and turnover plans. Discussion Predictors of job satisfaction included civility and supervisory support. Emotional exhaustion predicted turnover intention. Results inform organizational actions to address these work environment characteristics. Implications for practice Organizations can initiate culture changes to improve civility and develop supervisors' 'soft skills' in conjunction with technical expertise.

It appears, therefore, that supervisory support may play a key role in determining the job satisfaction and, ultimately, turnover intention, of the Veterans Health Administration mental health workforce.…”

“…Most studies using KOSS [ 79 , 80 , 82 – 85 , 87 ] found at least one component significantly associated with depression or depressiveness.

ObjectivesWork-related stress is highly prevalent. Recent systematic reviews concluded on a significant association between common work-related stress measures and depression. Our scoping review aims to explore whether work-related psychosocial stress is generally associated with depression or depressiveness, the extent and methodology of the primary research undertaken on this topic and to elucidate inconsistencies or gaps in knowledge.MethodsWe searched for literature in Pubmed, PsycInfo and Web of Science including full reports in seven languages published between 1999 and 2022 and applied the PRISMA statement for scoping reviews criteria.ResultsOf 463 primarily identified articles, 125 were retained after abstract and full-text screening. The majority report significant associations between work-related stress and depression. Cross-sectional studies are most prevalent. Sufficient evidence exists only for job strain and effort-reward imbalance. Most studies are from Asia, North America and Europe. The health sector is the most studied. Several research gaps such as the lack of interventional studies were identified.ConclusionThe consistency of most studies on the significant association between work-related stress and depression is remarkable. More studies are needed to improve evidence and to close research gaps.

“…Where a good SPH was related to the absence of a physical illness (unlike psychiatry trainees, it seems that over the years medical illness confronts them with the cognitive representation or perception of health), as well as the lower concern for mistakes they have made and higher personal standards. According to previous research (Koreki et al, 2015;McFarland, Hlubocky, & Riba, 2019;Rotstein et al, 2019;Umene-Nakano et al, 2013), psychiatrists tend to find considerable purpose and meaning in what they do, as well as high levels of job satisfaction and personal achievement. There are a number of factors that can explain this, including the role that intellectual satisfaction, favorable job prospects, strong team identity, greater job control, and a good work-life balance offer.…”

Self-perceived health in psychiatrists and psychiatry trainees. The role of perfectionism and distress

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction. Self-perceived health (SPH) is related to disease and well-being. Psychiatrists report burnout and mental disorders more frequently than other physicians, while personality traits related to perfectionism may influence the perception of well-being and health in these professionals. Objective. To compare and determine the association between demographic variables, health conditions, perceived distress, perfectionism, and SPH. Method. A cross-sectional, retrospective, comparative study was performed through an online survey. Psychiatrists and psychiatry trainees who were willing and able to participate were included. Demographic variables and self-reports of mental and physical conditions were examined. SPH was rated on a 10-point visual analogue scale and perfectionism through the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale. Comparative analyses and multiple linear regression models were performed. Results. Three hundred and thirty psychiatry trainees and 355 psychiatrists were recruited. Psychiatrists reported more physical conditions (32.4% vs. 15%, p < .001), distress (p < .001), and perfectionism (p < .001). Major depression and anxiety were present over 50% of all participants. A higher SPH was associated with being partnered and having higher distress levels in psychiatry trainees and with the absence of a physical health condition, less concern over errors, and higher personal standards in psychiatrists. Discussion and conclusion. Self-oriented perfectionism may have a significant motivational component, accentuated by competitiveness and individualism. Being married and having higher levels of distress in psychiatry trainees appears to create a sense of satisfaction with achievements. The implementation of strategies to prioritize and meet goals is necessary to have an adequate work-life balance without affecting personal satisfaction or the sense of achievement.
