The ideal hospitalist workload and optimal way to measure it are not well understood....
To obtain expert consensus on the salient measures of hospitalist workload....
This qualitative study used a 3-round Delphi technique between April 5 and July 13, 2022, involving national experts within and external to the field. Experts included hospitalist clinicians, leaders,...
Three rounds of surveys were conducted, during which participants provided input on the salient measures of hospitalist workload across various domains. In the first round, free-text data collected fr...
Seventeen individuals from 14 organizations, encompassing clinicians, leaders, administrators, and researchers, participated in 3 rounds of surveys. In round 1, participants provided 135 unique qualit...
In this qualitative study measuring hospitalist workload, multiple measures, including those quantifying work demands and the association of those demands with outcomes, were considered relevant for m...
The purpose of the study was to validate WORKLINE, a NICU specific clinician workload model and to evaluate the feasibility of integrating WORKLINE into our EHR....
This was a prospective, observational study of the workload of 42 APPs and physicians in a large academic medical center NICU over a 6-month period. We used regression models with robust clustered sta...
We found significant correlations between WORKLINE and NASA-TLX scores. APP caseload was not significantly associated with WORKLINE scores. We successfully integrated the WORKLINE model into our EHR t...
WORKLINE provides an objective method to quantify the workload of clinicians in the NICU, and for APPs, performed better than caseload numbers to reflect workload. Integrating the WORKLINE model into ...
Live captioning is a challenging task that requires intense concentration to convert audio to text in real-time. Despite the importance of live captioning for accessibility, little is known about the ...
To assess the prevalence of burnout among radiographers, and whether demographic variables and work-related factors had any influence on burnout and perceived stress among them....
A cross-sectional quantitative survey design is adopted in this study. The participants included radiographers from Saudi Arabia. Both Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) ...
The mean emotional exhaustion (EE) score achieved was 26.01, representing medium burnout risk. However, the mean depersonalization (DP:...
The findings underscore the critical need for targeted interventions and support mechanisms within the radiology profession, particularly focusing on younger radiographers and those with extensive wor...
No standard tool to measure pathologist workload currently exists. An accurate measure of workload is needed for determining the number of pathologists to be hired, distributing the workload fairly am...
Workload and sex-related differences have been proposed as factors of importance when evaluating the microcirculation. Simultaneous assessments with diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and laser Do...
In 24 healthy participants (aged 20 to 30 years, 12 females), cutaneous microcirculation was assessed by LDF and DRS at baseline, during a workload generated by cycling at 75 to 80 % of maximal age-pr...
Females had significantly lower RBC tissue fraction and total perfusion in forearm skin microcirculation at all phases (baseline, workload, and recovery). All microvascular parameters increased signif...
Compared to a resting state, all studied microcirculation measures increased during cycling. For perfusion, this was mainly due to increased speed, and only to a minor extent due to increased RBC tiss...
To review and synthesize available evidence exploring the impact of pandemics on direct healthcare providers' workloads in the acute care setting....
Scoping review....
A review of English research articles published up to August 2022 that examined the impact of pandemics on healthcare providers' workloads was undertaken. Studies were identified by searching four ele...
The review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Scoping Review checklist....
Healthcare workers experience an increase in workload pressures during a pandemic. This included patients requiring more care, undertaking non-normal work activities, increase in work content includin...
Focused efforts from health organizations to prioritize supportive conditions, policies focused on improved work environments, staffing adequacy and fair and reasonable workloads will enhance retentio...
Understanding workload challenges faced by frontline health professionals during the pandemic can improve planning, including policies and procedures, and resource allocation for future pandemic or em...
No patient or public contribution....
This study explores the health status differences between migrants and native Germans, focusing on potential disparities in their workloads. Physical and mental workloads can negatively impact individ...
We suggest a conceptual framework for the empirical analysis based on the theory of health as a durable good with health consumption and health investment as key parameters. We quantify the role of wo...
The empirical results reveal that migrants, i.e. foreigners and German citizens with a migration background, have a higher perception of workload and related health afflictions within the same occupat...
The analysis shows that migrants report worse health than natives, with stronger negative effects of work-related conditions on their health, both physically and mentally. Women, in general, report po...
Ambulatory staffing to workload based on visit volume in an outpatient setting is an elusive formula, and the literature describing such processes is limited. One health system tasked a multidisciplin...
The burnout syndrome (BS) is defined as a response to chronic work stress. It appears as a subjective phenomenon and its main symptoms are the loss of enthusiasm towards work, a feeling of professiona...
To evaluate the prevalence of BS in health personnel who care for cancer patients in a tertiary hospital....
Descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 41 health professionals dedicated to providing direct care to cancer patients, which were selected through an intentional non-probabilistic s...
In the sample studied, BS presented a prevalence of 51.21% at the medium level, 9.75% at the high level and 2.43% at the critical level. Significant differences were found between groups by service an...
A high prevalence of symptoms of BS was found in the study participants, derived mainly from the excessive workload, the type of care provided, as well as experiences related to contact with people li...
