Objectives Emergency department (ED) professionals are exposed to burnout syndrome due to excessive workload and high demands for care. The objective of our study was to assess the prevalence burnout among all ED staff and to determine associated factors. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 3 EDs. The data were collected using a standardized questionnaire. It included demographical and occupational data, general health questions, burnout level (Maslach Burnout Inventory), job strain (Karasek), and quality of life (Medical Outcome Study Short Form). Results Of the 529 professionals working in EDs, 379 responses were collected (participation rate of 71.6%). Emotional exhaustion (EE) and depersonalization (DP), the major components of burnout, were reported, respectively, by 15.8% and 29.6% of the professionals. Burnout prevalence was 34.6%, defined as a severely abnormal level of either EE or DP. The medical category was significantly more affected by the burnout compared with their colleagues: nearly one ED physician out of two had a burnout (50.7%). In the multivariate analysis of covariance, job strain and a low mental component score were the two main factors independently associated with burnout (p < 0.05). Conclusion The results of our study show that ED professionals are a vulnerable group. Preventive approaches to stress and burnout are needed to promote quality of work life.

“…The ED is known to be a busy work environment and it is perhaps unsurprising that staff cited high work demand [16,17]. Further, many of the 136 organizations previously surveyed by the HSE include small-to medium-sized enterprises, as well as local and central government organizations that may not face the same day-to-day work intensity pressures which ED staff encounter.…”

“…Some attention has been paid to the role of acute stressors such as violence, trauma, bereavement and post-traumatic stress [16,17]. The adverse health and occupational outcomes of exposure to chronic stress, such as psychological illness, burnout and early retirement, have also been examined [18,19].…”

Background Previous work has established that health care staff, in particular emergency department (ED) personnel, experience signiicant occupational stress but the underlying stressors have not been well quantiied. Such data inform interventions that can reduce cases of occupational mental illness, burnout, staff turnover and early retirement associated with cumulative stress. AimsTo develop, implement and evaluate a questionnaire examining the origins of occupational stress in the ED. MethodsA questionnaire co-designed by an occupational health practitioner and ED management administered to nursing, medical and support staff in the ED of a large English teaching hospital in 2015.The questionnaire assessed participants' demographic characteristics and perceptions of stress across three dimensions (demand-control-support, effort-reward and organizational justice). Workrelated stressors in ED staff were compared with those of an unmatched control group from the acute ear, nose and throat (ENT) and neurology directorate. ResultsA total of 104 (59%) ED staff returned questionnaires compared to 72 staff (67%) from the acute ENT/neurology directorate. The ED respondents indicated lower levels of job autonomy, management support and involvement in organizational change, but not work demand. High levels of effortreward imbalance and organizational injustice were reported by both groups. ConclusionsOur indings suggest that internal ED interventions to improve workers' job control, increase support from management and involvement in organizational change may reduce work stress. The high levels of effort-reward imbalance and organizational injustice reported by both groups may indicate that wider interventions beyond the ED are also needed to address these issues.

Introduction : La médecine d'urgence (MU) est une spécialité récente en France. Depuis 2004, la formation est validée par un diplôme d'études spécialisées complémen-taires (DESC). Aucune étude n'a évalué cette formation jusque-là au niveau national. Objectifs : Évaluer la formation en DESC de médecine d'urgence en France par les jeunes médecins en fin de cursus tant au niveau théorique que pratique. Matériel et méthodes : Enquête déclarative d'opinion. Un questionnaire évaluant la formation théorique et pratique a été envoyé entre juillet et septembre 2014 par courrier élec-tronique aux étudiants en fin de seconde année de DESC MU en France. Cinq domaines étaient abordés : profil des répondants, formation théorique, formation pratique, formation globale, post-internat et avenir en médecine d'urgence. Résultats : Le taux de réponses était de 47 %. La formation était jugée globalement bonne par 79 % des jeunes médecins et comme leur permettant d'améliorer leurs compétences pour 77 % d'entre eux. Si 69 % des répondants exprimaient que la formation théorique était de bonne qualité, ils étaient 56 % à penser que la formation pratique en quatre semestres était insuffisante. L'enseignement de plusieurs gestes techniques leur semblait insuffisant et 99 % estimaient néces-saire d'accroître la part de pédagogie par simulation. Bien que satisfaits par cette formation, seulement 40 % auraient choisi le DES de médecine d'urgence si celui-ci avait existé au moment de débuter l'internat. Discussion : Bien que satisfaisante, la formation des futurs praticiens doit évoluer afin de la renforcer sur un plan aussi bien théorique que pratique. Il semble nécessaire d'en allonger sa durée et de s'appuyer sur la simulation. Cela pourrait passer par la création d'un DES de médecine d'urgence. Cette première initiative d'évaluation nationale de la formation en médecine d'urgence devra être répétée pour contribuer à l'évolution et à l'essor de notre spécialité. Mots clés Formation · DESC · Urgence · Enquête · FranceAbstract Background: Emergency Medicine (EM) is a new specialty in France. Since 2004, the training is validated after obtaining an additional specialized diploma in EM. No studies have evaluated the training so far in France. Objectives: To assess the EM training program in France from the young physician's perspective. Materials and methods: Opinion survey. A questionnaire assessing the theoretical and the practical training was sent between July and September 2014 by email to second year EM students in France. Five areas were discussed: profile of respondents, theoretical training, practical training, general training, future and questions about EM. Results: The response rate was 47%. The training was generally considered good by 79% of young physicians. 77% expressed that training had enabled them to improve their skills. The theoretical training was judged good by 69% of respondents but 56% felt the lack of practical training in two years. Training of many skills seemed insufficient and 99% thought it would be necessary to ...
