Background And Objectives: Burnout is common in primary care doctors. The aim of this study was to explore burnout, self-care and retention in general practice supervision in Australia.
Method: The sample comprised 267 general practice supervisors from all Australian states and territories.
Article Synopsis
- Survivors of wildfires commonly experience high levels of psychological distress, but there is limited research on how these events affect mental health.
- This study surveyed 126 individuals from Australia, Canada, and the USA about anxiety, depression, insomnia, sleep quality, nightmares, and PTSD symptoms after wildfires.
- Results indicated that participants from the USA reported significantly worse mental health outcomes compared to those from Australia and Canada, highlighting the need for improved international cooperation in addressing wildfire-related mental health issues.
Background: Worldwide, the proportion of women entering careers in medicine is increasing. To ensure diversity and capacity in the general practice ("GP") supervision workforce, a greater understanding from the perspective of women GPs engaged in or considering the clinical supervision of trainee doctors is important. This narrative inquiry aims to explore the uptake and sustainability of supervision roles for women GPs in the Australian context.

Article Synopsis
- Wildfires pose significant risks to human lives and mental health, causing trauma and economic losses.
- A systematic review of studies conducted between January 2012 and March 2021 revealed that sleep disturbances, particularly insomnia (63-72.5%) and nightmares (33.3-46.5%), are prevalent among wildfire survivors.
- The review also noted a connection between the severity of sleep disturbances and post-traumatic symptoms, suggesting that those closer to the fires may experience more intense sleep issues.
