Compassion Fatigue and Burnout Among Health Care Professionals: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Compassion Fatigue and Burnout Among Health Care Professionals: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Recent studies have focused on examining compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress among health care professionals, revealing varying levels of these factors [3,4]. Research conducted in Brazil found that neonatal intensive care unit (ICU) nurses face higher levels of burnout compared to other ICU departments, indicating the specific challenges faced by health care professionals in this environment [5,6].

Effect of Minimal Individual or Group Enhancement in an eHealth Program on Mental Health, Health Behavior, and Work Ability in Employees With Obesity: Randomized Controlled Trial

Effect of Minimal Individual or Group Enhancement in an eHealth Program on Mental Health, Health Behavior, and Work Ability in Employees With Obesity: Randomized Controlled Trial

Burnout symptoms were measured using the Finnish version of the Bergen Burnout Inventory (BBI-15) [36]. The BBI-15 assesses exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced professional efficacy, which are the 3 key symptoms of burnout according to the most widely accepted definition [37]. Each question is scored on a scale of 1‐6, with a total score range of 15‐90. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms. The total score of the questionnaire is calculated as the sum of these subcategories.

Feasibility, Subjective Effectiveness, and Acceptance of Short Virtual Reality Relaxation Breaks for Immediate Perceived Stress Reduction in Emergency Physicians: Single-Arm Pre-Post Intervention Study

These factors contribute to a heightened risk of burnout [1-3], posttraumatic stress disorder [4], substance abuse [5], and even suicide [6]. Burnout is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion; increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one’s job; and reduced professional efficacy.

Using Large Language Models to Assess Burnout Among Health Care Workers in the Context of COVID-19 Vaccine Decisions and Health Beliefs: Retrospective Cohort Study

Burnout—widespread among nurses during the pandemic—has been linked to emotional exhaustion, reduced engagement, and diminished adherence to public health responsibilities [15-17]. Researchers have used a variety of conceptual models to study these effects. Among these, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) provides a widely recognized framework for measuring and understanding burnout through three key dimensions: Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and Inefficacy [18].

Integrating Nurse Preferences Into AI-Based Scheduling Systems: Qualitative Study

Integrating Nurse Preferences Into AI-Based Scheduling Systems: Qualitative Study

Traditional scheduling methods often fail to accommodate the preferences and constraints of individual nurses, potentially leading to dissatisfaction, burnout, and high turnover rates [5,6]. However, the extent of these negative effects and the specific factors contributing to dissatisfaction are often unclear. Nurses may feel restricted in their autonomy or, conversely, may desire more guidance to prevent feelings of unfairness [7].

Exploring Connections Between Mental Health, Burnout, and Academic Factors Among Medical Students at an Iranian University: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study

Exploring Connections Between Mental Health, Burnout, and Academic Factors Among Medical Students at an Iranian University: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study

Burnout was officially classified by the World Health Organization as an occupational phenomenon in 2019 and included in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). Educational burnout is a type of burnout experienced during studying. To better view educational burnout, it was expanded to three factors: emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and feelings of inefficacy [4,5]. Emotional exhaustion reflects feelings of exceeding emotional resources due to academic demands.

Effect of Smartphone-Based Messaging on Interns and Nurses at an Academic Medical Center: Observational Study

Effect of Smartphone-Based Messaging on Interns and Nurses at an Academic Medical Center: Observational Study

Such desensitization can significantly contribute to clinician burnout and affect patient care [5,6]. To our knowledge, few studies have examined the specific communication patterns between nurses and medicine interns on secure messaging platforms. Existing research provides general insights into messaging behaviors but lacks in-depth analysis of how messaging patterns between these specific groups—who often serve as the first point of contact in inpatient care—differ in terms of volume or timing [7,8].

Health Care Professionals' Engagement With Digital Mental Health Interventions in the United Kingdom and China: Mixed Methods Study on Engagement Factors and Design Implications

Health Care Professionals' Engagement With Digital Mental Health Interventions in the United Kingdom and China: Mixed Methods Study on Engagement Factors and Design Implications

Health care professionals (HCPs) are one of the most vulnerable groups to occupational stress and burnout [1]. Burnout among medical staff has gradually increased over time and worsened during COVID-19 [2,3]. More studies have focused on digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) to alleviate HCPs’ stress and burnout, as they offer accessible and cost-effective solutions that circumvent many barriers commonly associated with traditional interventions [4-6].

Employers’ Perspectives of Caregiver-Friendly Workplace Policies for Caregiver-Employees Caring for Older Adults in Hong Kong: Thematic Analysis

Although several studies have identified caregiver burden as a significant risk factor for burnout and poor mental health outcomes among family caregivers [11,13,14], stronger filial piety may lead to lower caregiver burden [15,16]. A systematic review of 12 studies showed a significant negative correlation (r=–0.23) and association (β=–0.27) between filial piety and caregiver burden among adult children [15].
