2 Stress Biomarkers Leading to Professional Burnout Among People Involved in a Mobile Intensive Care Unit During the COVID-19 Pandemic

This study is aiming at investigating whether professional burnout in people involved in the mobile intensive care unit (in French: Element Mobile de Réanimation, EMR) in Mulhouse (France) can be predicted upstream by a low mindfulness level (as a protective factor) or by a dysregulation of stress pathways with a high level of perceived stress towards an emotional event (psychological index of allostatic load), i.e. an early and silent dysfunctional physiological response (measured by the electrophysiological and biological measurements of allostasis load and parasympathetic brake). It is part of a global approach aiming at identifying levers to prevent the allostatic load of occupational stress related to large-scale health crises.

NCT04365335 Occupational Stress Behavioral: Assessment of work-related stress Biological: Saliva sample collection Other: Cardiac and electrodermal recordings Behavioral: Assessment of behavioral response to emotional stimulation
MeSH:Occupational Stress Burnout, Professional

Primary Outcomes

Description: Professional burnout is measured at D21 by the Burnout Measure Short Version (BMS) questionnaire It is a 10-item questionnaire used to assess burnout regardless of the occupational category. Each item is rated from 0 to 6 ("never" to "always"). An average score (sum/10) below 2.4 indicates a very low degree of burnout exposure; a score between 2.5 and 3.4 indicates a low degree of burnout exposure; a score between 3.5 and 4.4 indicates the presence of burnout; a score between 4.5 and 5.4 indicates a high degree of burnout exposure; a score above 5.5 indicates a very high degree of burnout exposure.

Measure: Professional burnout

Time: 21 days after enrollment (Day 21)

Description: Mindfulness level is assessed at D0 thanks to the Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory. It is a 14 item scale. Each item is rated from 1 to 4 ("almost never" to "almost always"). The total score is between 14 and 56. The mean value in a population of young adults under 36 years of age is 38.5 (+/- 5.1 standard deviation).

Measure: Mindfulness level

Time: Day 1

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Perceived stress level is assessed with the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). It is a 14 item scale. Each item is rated from 0 to 5 ("never" to "very often"). The total score ranges from 0 to 56 with higher scores indicating greater perceived stress.

Measure: Perceived stress level following the emotional stimulation

Time: Day 1

Description: Parasympathetic flexibility is assessed through dynamic electro-physiological analysis of cardiac and electrodermal conductance recordings. Physiological and cognitive reserve of emotional regulation is assessed through the analysis of the spectral power of the 0.1 Hz frequency band at emotional recall.

Measure: Parasympathetic flexibility evolution during emotional recall

Time: Day 1

Description: The activity of the sympathetic tone is assessed by the measurement of the resting state salivary Chromogranin A. Physiological and cognitive reserve of emotional regulation is assessed through the analysis of the spectral power of the 0.1 Hz frequency band at emotional recall. The activity of the sympathetic tone is assessed by the measurement of the resting salivary Chromogranin A.

Measure: Sympathetic tone at rest

Time: Day 1

Description: Corticotropic activation at rest is assessed through the DHEA/cortisol level ratio

Measure: Corticotropic activation at rest

Time: Day 1

Description: The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD-s32) is used to assess mood disorders in the general non-psychiatric population. It is used to discriminate between anxiety and depression. Scores greater than 11 are indicative of charcaterized anxiety/depression.

Measure: Mood disorders (anxiety / depression)

Time: Day 1

Description: Post-traumatic disorder is assessed with the PCL-5. It is a 20-item self-administered questionnaire representing DSM-5 PTSD diagnosis symptoms rated by the subject on a scale from 0 ("not at all") to 4 ("extremely") during the past month. Scores range from 0 to 80. A score greater than of 33 evokes the presence of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Measure: Post-traumatic stress disorder

Time: Day 1

Description: Sleep quality is assesses thanks to the Leeds Sleep Evaluation questionnaire (LEEDS). It consists of ten visual analogue scales assessing four aspects of sleep: (i) quality of falling asleep and degree of drowsiness, (ii) quality of sleep, (iii) quality of wakefulness, and (iv) quality of post-wakefulness and performance.

Measure: Sleep quality

Time: Day 1

3 Nursing Perspective on Burnout and Medical Errors in the Intensive Care Unit of an Exclusively Covid-19 Hospital: the Malaysian Experience

The investigators plan to perform an observational study to evaluate the prevalence of burnout, depression and medical errors in a designated exclusive Covid-19 patients hospital in Malaysia, during the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, the relationship between burnout and depression with medical errors will be assessed. The population studied will be the nurses working in the Intensive Care Unit, who are at higher risk due to the nature of their work at the frontlines of the pandemic.

4 COVID-19 Pandemic Short Interval National Survey Gauging Psychological Distress Among Physicians (COPING Survey): A Longitudinal Survey

The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic is unprecedented in its scale of infection and the response required to decrease the mortality rates. Disturbingly, the European and United States experience demonstrates that health care systems in industrialized countries are at risk of becoming overwhelmed. Physicians are already at risk of burnout under normal working conditions, and in particular, when responding to crisis situations. During the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak, healthcare workers experienced high rates of psychological distress that lasted years. However, there may be protective factors that may decrease the rate or severity of psychological distress and burnout. This study seeks to investigate the rates of physician burnout assessed at multiple time points during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, this study seeks to determine the factors that may increase or decrease burnout and psychological distress in such a setting. This study will be a national longitudinal survey of physicians in Canada. It will include all physicians that currently hold a license to practice in Canada (whether in training or a full license). Consenting participants will complete an initial survey gathering information about their type of practice, health conditions, preparations the COVID-19 pandemic, burnout, and psychological distress. Every month, participants will be asked to complete a follow-up survey, describing their stressors, coping strategies, burnout, and psychological distress. The investigators will analyze and report the initial results to help provincial and national organizations support our physicians and mitigate burnout during this pandemic. The results of the follow up surveys will be analyzed and reported following the pandemic. These findings will help keep our physician workforce healthy under normal working conditions and during future crises.

NCT04379063 Burnout, Professional Psychological Distress Other: COVID-19 pandemic
MeSH:Burnout, Professional

Primary Outcomes

Description: Measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey (MBI-GS) short form. The MBI-SF has three subscales (exhaustion, cynicism, efficacy). Each subscale is scored from 0-6 indicating the frequency of work-related feelings. A higher score in both exhaustion and cynicism indicate burnout is more likely; whereas, higher scores in efficacy indicate burnout is less likely.

Measure: Burnout

Time: Start of survey until there is a sustained period of no new cases in their province (1 month without a new case)

Description: Measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The HADS scores both symptoms of depression and anxiety using 14-item measure (7 item with possible scores 0-21 each). Higher scores suggest that depression and/or anxiety are more likely.

Measure: Psychological Distress

Time: Start of survey until there is a sustained period of no new cases in their province (1 month without a new case)

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Measured by the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Checklist for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) (PCL-5). Symptoms suggestive of PTSD are scored using a 20-item measure with possible scores ranging from 0-80. Higher scores are more suggestive of PTSD.

Measure: Post-traumatic stress symptoms

Time: One year following the end of the survey (no new cases in their province, 1 month without a new case)

Description: Measured by the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI-SF). The PTGI-SF is a 10-item measure with possible scores ranging from 0-50. Higher scores suggest that post-traumatic growth is more likely.

Measure: Post-traumatic growth

Time: One year following the end of the survey (no new cases in their province, 1 month without a new case)

5 COVID-19 - Implications on Surgeons' Burnout and Career Satisfaction

This is a cross-sectional survey which will be distributed online between surgeons. The survey was proposed by a consensus of consultants of surgery and revised by an improvement consultant. It consists of a semi-structured questionnaire that is provided in English language. The survey will be conducted online through an online survey development cloud-based software (SurveyMonkey®; San Mateo, CA, USA). Participants will be aware of the nature of the survey and informed that they will be listed as co-authors. Collected data will be confidential and anonymous. The first sector of the questionnaire includes trainee demographics and baseline characteristics. Then the questionnaire aims to compare the trainee experience before and after the pandemic with focus on research activities, clinical, and surgical practice.
