The Well-being Check-ins: observational evidence supporting a supervisor-driven practice to reduce burnout in primary care clinics

The Well-being Check-ins: observational evidence supporting a supervisor-driven practice to reduce burnout in primary care clinics

Our presentation is about a supervisor-led practice created at a primary care clinic that contributed to lowering and sustaining lower burnout levels. The practice titled “Well-being check-ins” consisted of monthly one-on-one frequent, confidential encounters between clinic staff and their respective supervisor to identify, address and monitor problems that affected performance and well-being with collaborative solutions. Our study applied quantitative and qualitative methods to understand and estimate the impact of the check-ins as a supervisor-led tactic to reduce burnout in primary care clinics.

Differences in hospital nurses’ fatigue levels based on personal and work-related characteristics

Differences in hospital nurses’ fatigue levels based on personal and work-related characteristics

? Our objective was to evaluate differences in hospital nurses? acute and chronic fatigue levels based on personal and work-related characteristics. ? Personal characteristics including sleep quality and quantity, and work-related characteristics including work shift length, unit type, unit staffing, number of patients, number of patients with COVID-19 cared for, frequency of caring for patients with COVID-19 over the past few months, and hospital size, were significantly related to nurses? acute and chronic fatigue. ? To maintain patient and nurse safety and assure quality care, healthcare organizations should identify and monitor these risk factors and conduct appropriate interventions to mitigate their impacts.

Effects of Natural Interaction on Burnout and Well-being in Working Students

Effects of Natural Interaction on Burnout and Well-being in Working Students

There is growing research supporting interacting with natural environments can facilitate restoration and work-stress recovery through decreasing negative feelings associated with acute stress and lowering the physiological effects of arousal. This study aims to explore the relationship between burnout and natural interaction by completed a pre-study survey measuring preexisting burnout and well-being measures; after completing the survey, they were randomly assigned to either participate in a greenspace or virtual natural environment for a minimum of 30 minutes a day for one week while completing daily diary surveys reflecting on their experience. Participants in both conditions, greenspace and virtual, exhibited lower mean burnout after one week of natural interaction. This research suggest that using both physical and virtual nature can be used as a means to detach from work, provide opportunities for increased physical activity, and facilitate improved psychological health.

The Unfolding Effects on First Responders in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Safety Climate, Burnout, and Depression

The present study aimed at understanding the challenges to the mental health and safety of fire service-based Emergency Medical Service (EMS) workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, while investigating the role station safety climate. We showed that safety climate can buffer the effect of burnout on depression. Station safety climate is an important organizational resource to safeguard employee safety and health in crisis situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
