“…Our findings support previous reports that exercise apps are generally acceptable, feasible to use and associated with an increase in MVPA [ 10 , 13 ]. Further, the study also supports our previous pilot and PPI work [ 14 , 15 ] showing that many postnatal women find Active10 very motivating and user friendly. Most women were interested in receiving advice about brisk walking and in one study 60% (9/15) downloaded the Active10 app [ 15 ].…”

“…The app includes goal setting, feedback and encouragement to support behaviour change. Our preliminary PPI (Patient and Public Involvement) work in 39 postnatal women in primary are showed that most found Active10 acceptable, especially when backed up by a leaflet and/or reminder telephone call encouraging them to use it [ 14 , 15 ].…”

“…We aimed to conduct a 3-months feasibility study of giving postnatal women who had had HDP a “Just walk it” leaflet [ 14 , 15 ] encouraging use of the Active10 app, backed by a telephone reminder after 2-weeks. (The leaflet was co-designed with our PPI group of six ethnically diverse women who had had a hypertensive pregnancy.…”

Objective To explore the feasibility of a future trial to investigate whether encouraging use of the free NHS smartphone app Active10 increases brisk walking and reduces blood pressure (BP) in postnatal mothers who had hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Design 3-month feasibility study. Setting London maternity unit. Population 21 women with HDP. Methods At recruitment we recorded initial (booking) clinic BP and asked participants to complete a questionnaire. Two months after delivery all participants were sent (by post/email/WhatsApp) a “Just Walk It” leaflet encouraging them to download the Active10 app and walk briskly for at least 10 minutes/day. This was backed by a telephone call after 2-weeks. Assessments were repeated 3-months later, and included telephone interviews about the acceptability and use of Active10. Main outcome measures Were recruitment rate, follow-up rate and acceptability/use of Active10. Results Of 28 women approached, 21 (75%, 95% CI 55.1–89.3%) agreed to participate. Age range was 21–46 years and five (24%) self-identified as black ethnicity. One woman dropped out of the study, and one became ill. The remaining participants (90%, 19/21, 95% CI 69.6–98.8%) were followed up after 3-months. Ninety-five percent (18/19) downloaded the Active10 app and 74% (14/19) continued using it at 3-months, averaging 27-minutes brisk walking/day according to Active10 weekly screenshots. Comments included: “Brilliant app”, “Really motivates me”. Mean BP was 130/81mmHg at booking and 124/80mmHg at 3-months follow-up. Conclusions The Active10 app was acceptable to postnatal women after HDP and may have increased minutes of brisk walking. A future trial could explore whether this simple, low-cost intervention could reduce long-term BP in this vulnerable group.

“…Other studies have identified peer support groups, the use of relaxation techniques, engagement in professional development, availability of mental health counseling, and journaling as methods to reduce work-related stress and improve well-being. 26,27 In their systematic review of workplace interventions to improve healthcare professional well-being, Cohen et al 27 found that organizational-level interventions focused on primary level interventions (ie, elimination of stress) were rarely reported. Individually focused interventions that focused on minimizing the effects of stress were more frequently reported.…”

Objective: This study explored the association between workload and the level of burnout reported by clinicians in our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). A qualitative analysis was used to identify specific factors that contributed to workload and modulated clinician workload in the NICU. Study Design: We conducted a study utilizing postshift surveys to explore workload of 42 NICU advanced practice providers and physicians over a 6-month period. We used multinomial logistic regression models to determine associations between workload and burnout. We used a descriptive qualitative design with an inductive thematic analysis to analyze qualitative data. Results: Clinicians reported feelings of burnout on nearly half of their shifts (44%), and higher levels of workload during a shift were associated with report of a burnout symptom. Our study identified 7 themes related to workload in the NICU. Two themes focused on contributors to workload, 3 themes focused on modulators of workload, and the final 2 themes represented mixed experiences of clinicians’ workload. Conclusion: We found an association between burnout and increased workload. Clinicians in our study described common contributors to workload and actions to reduce workload. Decreasing workload and burnout along with improving clinician well-being requires a multifaceted approach on unit and systems levels.

“…6 No health care worker is immune to burnout, an occupational phenomenon, 7 and interventions must be addressed broadly throughout clinical practice, education, and policy. 3,4 As discussed in the letter to the editor, 8 no single intervention will solve burnout.…”
