Objective: To study participation in occupational and individual-focused interventions in relation to burnout.

Methods: We used data from a questionnaire, structured interview, national register of psychopharmacological prescriptions, and the Composite International Diagnostic Interview in a nationally representative Finnish sample of 3276 employees (30 to 64 years).

Results: When compared with employees free of burnout, the odds ratio of severe burnout for participation in occupational interventions was 0.41 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.26 to 0.65) and in individual-focused interventions 5.36 (95% CI = 3.14 to 9.17). Antidepressant prescriptions were 2.53 (95% CI = 1.04 to 6.15) times more common among those with severe burnout than among those without burnout after adjustment for depressive and anxiety disorders.

Conclusions: Employees with burnout were less often targets of occupational interventions but participated more in individual-focused interventions when compared with other employees. The use of antidepressants among employees with severe burnout was not fully explained by coexisting depressive or anxiety disorders.

Temporal Stages of Burnout: How to Design Prevention?

Int J Environ Res Public Health

Burnout, a major concern defined most commonly in the literature with a symptoms-based classification, can also be described as a temporal process with various stages experienced by workers, each composed of unique characteristics and challenges. This intricate process of burnout emphasizes pivotal moments, such as engagement and enthusiasm with a high job ideal (Stage 0), weakening of the ideal (Stage 1), protective withdrawal (Stage 2) and confirmed burnout (Stage 3). Through an opinion review, the objective of this article is to examine which prevention level, and more specifically which prevention actions, can be developed at each stage of this temporal process of burnout.

Unlabelled: We aimed to measure the sustainability of health professionals' intention to have serious illness conversations with patients using the Serious Illness Conversation Guide (SICG) after individual-focused training versus team-based training. In a cluster randomised trial, we trained healthcare professionals in 40 primary care clinics and measured their intention to hold serious illness conversations immediately (T1), after 1 year (T2) and after 2 years (T3). Primary care clinics ( = 40) were randomly assigned to individual-focused training (comparator) or team-based training (intervention).

Article Synopsis
  • Psychotic disorders in youth present major challenges for mental health services, with this review examining how resilience factors can help lessen the negative impact of risk factors on developing psychosis in individuals under 25.
  • The review analyzed nine studies involving over 140,000 participants and found that strong familial and community support significantly lowered the risk of developing psychotic symptoms, while neurobehavioral deficits increased risk.
  • It highlights the need for early interventions focusing on enhancing resilience to better support at-risk youths and potentially alter the course of psychosis development.

Latinos experience disproportionate rates of obesity and related conditions like type 2 diabetes, which are projected to increase (Mohebi et al., 2022). Standard interventions for these issues often fall short due to individual-focused approaches and the lack of culturally sensitive definitions of health that include emotional, physical, political, and social domains (Gutierrez Chavez et al.

Internet usage time and trust in doctors: evidence from China.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how the amount of time people spend online affects their trust in doctors, finding a significant negative relationship between increased internet use and trust levels.
  • The research utilizes data from over 19,000 individuals in China to analyze different population groups and the mechanisms at play, including internet use as an information source and a communication platform.
  • Results suggest that while more internet use tends to lower trust in doctors, engaging in online social activities can counteract some of these negative effects, whereas social media generally worsens trust issues due to its mixed role.
