Individual differences in parasympathetic nervous system reactivity in response to everyday stress are associated with momentary emotional exhaustion.

Acute stressors (e.g., time pressure) can provoke psychological and physiological stress responses, and the magnitude of such responses is called stress reactivity.

How does burnout relate to daily work-related rumination and well-being of psychotherapists? A daily diary study among psychotherapeutic practitioners.

Objective: This is the first study to use a daily diary design to investigate the relationship between daily work-related rumination (WRR), daily well-being, and burnout symptoms among psychotherapeutic practitioners.

Method: In total, = 58 psychotherapeutic practitioners participated in the study. For 4 weeks, the participants received a daily evening prompt on weekdays asking about their WRR and well-being.

The interactive effects of heart rate variability and mindfulness on indicators of well-being in healthcare professionals' daily working life.

Objective: Heart rate variability (HRV) and mindfulness have been described as correlates of self-regulation and well-being. The goal of the present study was to investigate their interactions from a within-person perspective in the context of work.

Methods: Applying an ambulatory assessment approach, we studied 89 healthcare professionals across two to four work shifts.

Teachers' ambulatory heart rate variability as an outcome and moderating variable in the job demands-resources model.

According to the job demands-resources (JD-R) model, strain reactions are based on the level of job demands and moderating resources. The present study aims to contribute to psychophysiological research by integrating vagally mediated heart rate variability (HRV) into the JD-R framework. Using a sample of school teachers, we conducted an ambulatory assessment study to investigate HRV as (1) a state outcome measure of job demands and resources and (2) a trait moderator in the relationship between job demands and emotional exhaustion.
