We investigated the relationship between cognitive functioning, work performance, and sleep in non-clinical burnout. In a working population, an online survey was conducted with additional online neuropsychological tests of varying complexity, measuring attention and different components of working memory, of which the coordinating subcomponent the 'Central Executive' is thought to be the most vulnerable to stress. Results indicate that non-clinical burnout is associated with more-though not severe-sleep problems, more depressive complaints, impaired work performance, and with both subjective and objective cognitive impairments. Compared with healthy respondents (N = 107), people with non-clinical burnout (N = 17) had a significantly poorer performance on the tests of the visuospatial sketchpad and the Central Executive of the working memory. Our study also indicates that more complex tests may be more sensitive in detecting cognitive dysfunction in non-clinical burnout. Furthermore, a relationship was found between dual-task performance and work performance. Regarding to sleep quality, in our sample of people with non-clinical burnout, there were no severe sleep problems. In the entire sample, however, insomnia was significantly related to subjective, but not objective, cognitive functioning, and also not to work performance.

Lessons from a crisis: occupational stress in healthcare workers in an acute paediatric teaching hospital in Ireland.
BMJ Paediatr Open
December 2024
School of Medicine, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic placed increased pressure on service provision and healthcare worker (HCW) wellness. As the crisis of the pandemic receded, paediatric healthcare staff required an appropriate response to facilitate individual and organisational recovery, to minimise long-term HCW burn-out and to be better equipped for future crisis in paediatric healthcare.
Objective: To explore the experiences of HCWs working during the COVID-19 pandemic in an acute paediatric hospital to determine an appropriate leadership response in the postcrisis work environment.
Less than full-time training, barriers and future needs. A UK-wide online survey of doctors in training.
J R Coll Physicians Edinb
September 2024
Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK.
Background: The the current views of less-than full-time (LTFT) training by both LTFT and full-time (FT) doctors in training, with regards to health and well-being, clinical and non-clinical opportunities, in addition to associated future workforce implications and challenges, are uncertain.
Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of UK-based doctors in training via an online questionnaire, designed and piloted by the Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh (RCPE) Trainees and Members Committee. Design was informed by prior investigation into LTFT training undertaken amongst similar populations by RCPE in 2019.
Looking beyond duty hours: Offering a balanced quantitative-qualitative approach to resident burnout.
J R Coll Physicians Edinb
September 2024
Department of Medicine, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Article Synopsis
- Burnout and overwork are common issues for junior training physicians, leading to protests for better working conditions and a concerning number of professionals leaving the field.
- Despite the implementation of duty hour restrictions in 2003 that limit residents to 80 hours a week, these measures have not effectively reduced burnout or improved working conditions over the last two decades.
- The article argues for a dual approach that combines a meaningful reduction in working hours with improvements in the quality of both clinical and non-clinical work environments to better address resident burnout and enhance training outcomes.
