“…In addition, GROW-M helped to build personal resources to protect leaders from burnout by minimizing the activation of the SNS during stress and activating the PNS for counteracting stress and sustaining adequate recovery (Pihlaja, Tuominen, Peräkylä, & Hartikainen, 2022). Increasing activation of the PNS, which is a recovery system, helps the body to build resources for lowering burnout (Liu, & Boyatzis, 2021).…”

“…Thus, coaching can act on internal resources through the pathway of regulating the autonomic nervous system (the sympathetic and the PNS) to reduce negative reactivity (De Looff, et al, 2018). Coaching can help to activate the PNS that counters the sympathetic activation effects during exposure to a stressful situation (Pihlaja, 2022), thereby helping clients to regain homeostasis and recovery from stress and associated burnout.…”

Poor leadership self-efficacy and high organizational burnout are context-based cognitive conditions that sabotage leadership outcomes across organizations. When school administrators who are the leaders and directors of school affairs struggle with poor leadership self-efficacy and elevated levels of burnout their leadership styles are negatively affected with far-reaching impacts on the teachers, students, and the overall school outputs. This randomized control trial sought to investigate the effectiveness of GROW-Model (GROW-M) of Cognitive behavioral Coaching in raising leadership self-efficacy and minimizing burnout symptoms in a sample of school administrators in Enugu State, Nigeria. Participants included 77 school administrators who were randomly assigned to GROW-M ( N = 38) and waitlisted control ( N = 39) groups. A 2-h GROW-M program was delivered to the GROW-M intervention group weekly for 9 weeks. Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educators’ Survey and the School Leaders’ Self-Efficacy Scale were employed to source data at preintervention, postintervention, and follow-up evaluations. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to explore data using SPSS version 24. Results revealed that participants’ organizational burnout reduced, while their leadership self-efficacy improved significantly at posttest. The changes in burnout and leadership self-efficacy levels were sustained through a 3-month follow-up. We concluded that intervention using GROW-M minimizes organizational burnout and raises leadership self-efficacy as a pliability resource for coping with overwhelming work demands.

“…Though the mental impact of burnout on individuals is widely accepted, research studying associations between HCW burnout with the biological and physiological biomarkers that may inform mechanisms associated with increased risk of chronic disease remain inconclusive in the current literature 17. In fact, biomarkers regarding mental and physical well-being have been understudied in many other high-stress professions at increased risk for occupational-related poor health outcomes as well, such as teachers, police officers and lawyers.…”

Exploring physical and biological manifestations of burnout and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms in healthcare workers: a scoping review protocol

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionThe COVID-19 pandemic has strained the mental and physical well-being of healthcare workers (HCW). Increased work-related stress and limited resources have increased symptoms of anxiety, depression, insomnia and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in this population. Stress-related disorders have been strongly associated with long-term consequences, including cardiometabolic disorders, endocrine disorders and premature mortality. This scoping review aims to explore available literature on burnout, PTSD, and other mental health-associated symptoms in HCW to synthesise relationships with physiological and biological biomarkers that may be associated with increased risk of disease, creating an opportunity to summarise current biomarker knowledge and identify gaps in this literature.Methods and analysisThis scoping review uses the Arksey and O’Malley six-step scoping review methodology framework. The research team will select appropriate primary sources using a search strategy developed in collaboration with a health sciences librarian. Three reviewers will initially screen the title and abstracts obtained from the literature searches, and two reviewers will conduct independent reviews of full-text studies for inclusion. The research team will be reviewing literature focusing on which burnout and/or PTSD-associated physiological and biological biomarkers have been studied, the methodologies used to study them and the correlations between the biomarkers and HCW experiencing burnout/PTSD. Data extraction forms will be completed by two reviewers for included studies and will guide literature synthesis and analysis to determine common themes.Ethics and disseminationThis review does not require ethical approval. We expect results from this scoping review to identify gaps in the literature and encourage future research regarding improving biological and physiological biomarker research in HCW. Preliminary results and general themes will be communicated back to stakeholders. Results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, policy briefs and conferences as well as presented to stakeholders to an effort to invest in HCW mental and physical health.
