“…In regard to medical specialties, General Practitioners (GPs) are overrepresented in our sample. Although this could be related to the fact that most doctors in Spain work as GPs, some studies have reported that GPs are, in fact, at higher risk to develop mental disorders compared with the rest of physicians [43][44][45][46]. The 2 main limitations of this research are related to: 1.…”

Objectives: To explore if the Barcelona Integral Care Program for Doctors with mental disorders (PAIMM, in Catalan) has achieved its goal of enhancing earlier and voluntary help-seeking amongst sick doctors. Material and Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of 1363 medical records of physicians admitted to the inpatient and outpatient units of the PAIMM from February 1st, 1998 until December 31st, 2011. The sample was divided into 3 time periods : 1998-2004, 2005-2007 and 2008-2011 (477, 497, and 389 cases, respectively). Results: The mean age at admission decreased (F = 77.57, p < 0.001) from the first period (x = 54.18; SD = 10.28 years) to the last period (x = 44.81; SD = 10.65 years), while voluntary referrals increased from 81.3% to 91.5% (Chi 2 = 17.85, p < 0.001). Mental disorders other than substance use disorders grew from 71% during the 1998-2003 period, to 87.4% (2004-2007), and 83.9% in the last period (Chi 2 = 29.01, p < 0.001). Adjustment disorders increased their prevalence, while inpatient treatment progressively represented less of the overall clinical activity. Conclusions: Sick doctors may feel encouraged to seek help in non-punitive programs specially designed for them and where treatment becomes mandatory only when there is risk or evidence of malpractice.

“…The study by Mendonça, Coelho and Jucá (2012) also emphasized that the physicians' control over their activities and the social support reduce the damages caused by excessive work demand. Arigoni et al (2009) carried out a comparative study with 371 Swiss oncologists, pediatricians, and generalist physicians and observed that 32% of the respondents presented signs of psychiatric diseases and burnout syndrome, especially among the generalist physicians. The characteristics of work that predisposed to greater psychological affections were a workload higher than 50 hours per week, less than six hours per month dedication to continuing education, and working at public institutions.…”

The objective of this systematic literature review was to identify the main diseases that affect physicians worldwide, through an electronic survey in the Virtual Health Library (BVS) database based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and MetaAnalyses (Prisma) methodology. We analyzed 57 of the 374 scientific papers published on this subject between 2005 and 2015 in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. The findings showed that mental affections prevailed, highlighting the occupational exhaustion (burnout syndrome). Among the physical ailments, musculoskeletal affections prevailed.KEYWORDS Occupational diseases. Burnout, professional. Occupational health.

“…Unter den sozialen Berufsgruppen litten Heimleiter, Sozialarbeiter und Sozialpäda-gogen am häufigsten an Burnout. Die Prävalenz von Burnout-Symptomatik liegt je nach Studie bei Ärzten zwischen 20 und 33 %, bei Krankenschwestern zwischen 29 und 43 %, bei Lehrern zwischen 28 und 34 %, bei Priestern zwischen 17 und 52 % und in der psychiatrischen Gesundheitsversorgung zwischen 21 und 67 % (Arigoni, Bovier, Mermillod, Waltz, Sappino, 2009;Lopez Herrera et al, 2014;Morse, Salyers, Rollins, Monroe-DeVita, Pfahler, 2012;Pedditzi u.

Summary The Relationship Between Burnout Symptoms and Work Satisfaction Among Child Welfare Workers in Residential CareWorking in residential care is associated with high demands and high stress. As a result, employees may develop symptoms of burnout. These symptoms lead to absence from work and have a negative effect on the continuity and quality of the residential care. Until now, little is known about burnout risks in child welfare workers, although children and adolescents are especially dependent on continuous relationships and healthy caregivers. A better understanding of the relationship between burnout symptoms and work satisfaction may help to identify starting points for prevention and intervention. The present study assessed symptoms of burnout in a sample of 319 social education workers in residential care in Switzerland using the burnout-screening-scales (BOSS). Work satisfaction was assessed with a newly developed questionnaire based on concepts of trauma-sensitive care. The questionnaire was tested for reliability and factorial validity in the present study. In order to estimate the relationship between burnout symptoms and work satisfaction, correlations and relative risks were calculated. Almost one fifth (18 %) of the sample showed a risk of burnout. The principal component analysis of the questionnaire on work satisfaction revealed four factors: support by superiors, participation and transparency; communication and support within the team; gratification in the work; and institutional structures and resources. All four factors as well as the total score showed significant correlations with burnout symptoms. Among employees with a comparably lower work satisfaction, the risk of burnout was 5.4 times higher than among employees with a comparably higher work satisfaction. It is discussed how work satisfaction could be promoted and how, as a result, the quality and continuity of care for the children and adolescents could be improved.Prax. Kinderpsychol.

Prevalence of burnout among Swiss cancer clinicians, paediatricians and general practitioners: who are most at risk?

Abstract: In this Swiss sample, cancer clinicians had a significant lower risk of burnout, despite a more important workload. Among possible explanations, involvement in research and teaching activities and access to continuing education may have protected them.
