“…Schmid et al [16] compared various occupational groups and found that hospital employees were often frustrated and felt that their work was not appreciated, as compared with other workers in other industries. Literature data suggest that females are more at risk for occupational stress [17,18]. Unlike in a study by Holtermann et al [19] reporting an association between a higher risk of ischemic heart disease and low social class, physicians/surgeons were more at risk than other categories in our study.…”

Objectives: Health care workers constitute a high-risk occupational category owing to the character of their work that includes high-risk environment, shift work and mental as well as physical stress. In occupational medicine, caring for their health condition should be a priority and include measures aimed at preventing cardiovascular diseases. The study aimed at determining the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in employees of a large hospital and assessing their effect on the incidence of cardiovascular events. Materials and Methods: The group comprised 3124 employees with a mean age of 36.1 years (SD = 11.4), out of whom 562 were males (mean age of 37.1 years, range: 18-72; SD = 12.26) and 2562 were females (mean age of 35.9 years, range: 18-68; SD = 11.24). At their initial examination, the employees filled in a questionnaire on basic CVD risk factors (according to valid recommendations). This was supplemented with objective data to determine the risk of CVD using valid charts. From this group, a subset of persons at a high or intermediate risk was selected, comprising 247 individuals with a mean age of 54.1 years (SD = 5.73). After 5-9 years (mean 7.24±1.38 years), they either underwent another examination or their health status was ascertained by phone or in a computer database. The end point was the incidence of cardiovascular events (sudden death, acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, percutaneous coronary intervention, cardiac failure, stroke or transient ischemic attack). Results: The end point was noted in a total of 15 males (6.07%) and 6 females (2.42%), being statistically significantly present in managers (males p < 0.00007, females p < 0.00001), male physicians/surgeons (p < 0.025), tertiary-educated males (p < 0.0095), female smokers (p < 0.015), male ex-smokers (p < 0.007), overweight or obese males (p < 0.02) and those with the waist-to-hip ratio above 1.0 (p < 0.005). Conclusions: Cardiovascular events are most likely to occur in obese male physicians/surgeons holding managerial positions and in female managers.

“…Dennoch glauben die Autoren, dass die beruflichen Anforderungen nur z. T. das hohe Burn-out-Risiko der Assistenzärz-te erklären, sondern möglicherweise eine geringere Gratifikation (nicht nur finanzieller Art) und die vergleichsweise wenigen Möglichkeiten, auf den Arbeitsprozess Einfluss zu nehmen, weitere Ursachen sind [10,13,26].…”

“…Those are fundamental to renovate/acquire cognitive, affective and social skills. The group of Kinz et al 18 defined well the relevance of social and personal relationships (more reading time, making friends, family relationships) when they showed the anesthesiologist trusts more his personal and intellectual skills to handle daily demands, overcoming even the support of colleagues or bosses. In the present study, reduced profession time showed correlation with inferior scores in the environment domain, where situations like security, quality of work environment and mobility are evaluated.…”
