PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to identify the process of overcoming professional burnout among clinical nurses. METHODS: Data were collected from 12 clinical nurses through in-depth interviews about their actual experiences. The main question was "How do you describe your experience of the process of overcoming professional burnout?" Qualitative data from the field notes and transcribed notes were analyzed using the grounded theory methodology developed by Strauss & Corbin. RESULTS: The core category of experience of the process of professional burnout among clinical nurses was identified as "Keeping a balance by awakening-relaxing-coexisting". The participants used six interactional strategies such as 'Confronting problems', 'Exposing problems', 'Laying the mind's burdens down', 'Taking a breather', 'Seeing from a different perspective', 'Accepting realities'. The results of overcoming process of professional burnout were 'Coexisting' and 'Revitalizing'. CONCLUSION: The results of this study provide useful information for designing supportive programs and policies to solve professional burnout in clinical nurses.

Objectives: Public health dentists in the Philippines are being made to treat more patients and do other tasks despite being underpaid. Despite this, there is a dearth of information on burnout and its association with Filipino public-school dentists. Thus, this study aimed to assess the burnout levels and their association with the amount of work and sleep quality.

Methods: There were 10 out of 14 dentists from the Caraga Region who responded and answered a self-directed and self-reported online questionnaire composed of 52 questions that gauged sociodemographic data, sources of burnout, level of burnout, lower back pain, and sleep quality.

Results: Based on the results of the study, dentists with more than 40,000 patients (rs=0.81, p=0.005), in charge of more than one municipality (rs=0.67, p=0.035) and more than one school (rs=0.67, p=0.035), and with poor sleep (rs=1, p=0.005) experience more burnout.

Conclusion: The level of burnout is high in Filipino public-school dentists. In this study, burnout was associated with dentists who have poor sleep, having to serve more than 40,000 patients, more than one municipality, and more than one school. The legal bases for oral health and other pertinent memorandum orders from concerned government organizations should be revisited.

RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the profiles and the degree of burnout among resident physicians in private tertiary hospitals in Bacolod City? BACKGROUND: Exhaustion from work may result into negative effects not only to the medical staff and patients. Systematic reviews revealed an association in physician burnout and suboptimal quality of care, patient safety and patient satisfaction. However, the prevalence of burnout among resident physicians in Bacolod City has not been established. OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to determine the profiles and the degree of burnout among resident physicians in private tertiary hospitals in Bacolod City. STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey PARTICIPANTS: We invited all resident physicians in private hospitals in Bacolod City. OUTCOME MEASURE: This study used the 22-item Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey. ANALYSIS: IBM SPSS version 22 was used in the data analysis. Mean and frequency distribution were utilized. Analysis of percentage of distribution was used to determine their difference. RESULTS: From December 2019 to January 2020, ninety-three resident physicians consented to participate in the study. The majority of the participants were young adults, females and single. Only a minority of the residents exercised regularly. The majority were practicing their religion. Most of the residents are in their early years of training. Residents in Internal Medicine comprised the majority of the respondents. Among the respondents, in the Emotional Exhaustion (EE) domain: 24.7% were low, 37.6% were moderate, and 37.6% were high. While in the Depersonalization (DP) domain: 43% were low, 34.4% were moderate, and 22.6% were high. Lastly, in the Personal Achievement (PA) domain: 33.3% were low, 35.5% were moderate, and 31.2% were high. High burnout was present in 22.6% among the respondents. CONCLUSIONS: High burn out was seen among young adults, male, single, and more senior resident physicians. Furthermore, residents who exercise regularly and practice their religion have lower burnout. And Internal Medicine residents were seen to have high burnout compared to other training specialization. Organizational- and physician-directed interventions have an essential role in preventing and reducing burnout in training institutions.

Introduction: Burnout and job satisfaction among healthcare providers have been subjects of interest for the past decades due to its impact on a person’s well-being and the possible consequence of compromising patient care. Awareness of this phenomenon will aid in developing strategies to prevent burnout and increase job satisfaction in the workplace. Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of burnout and job satisfaction among healthcare providers employed at the Zamboanga City Medical Center. Methods: The study utilized a descriptive, cross-sectional design. Multi-stage random sampling was used. A total of three hundred sixty-two (362) employees of various occupational groups participated in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was employed to gather data which comprised of sociodemographic data, questions from the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) and Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS). Analysis and presentation of results were done using descriptive statistics such as frequency and percentages. Results The prevalence of burnout was 23.49%. It was common among nurses (38.83%) followed by doctors (24%) administrative assistants (10.59%) and nursing attendants (9.42%). Majority (33.15%) had personal burnout followed by work-related (24.04%) and client related burnout 22.93%. Around 48.35% reported satisfaction with their current jobs, while 50% were ambivalent and only 1.66% were dissatisfied. Majority (80.39%) were satisfied with nature of work followed by supervision (74.04%), coworker (66.3%), communication (65.75%) and pay (58.57%). In contrast, less than half were satisfied with fringe benefits (44.76%). Moreover, around 44.2% were dissatisfied with their working conditions. Ambivalence was seen in a range of 42.27% (promotion) to 47.52% (contingent rewards).

Background and Objective: The burden of caring for others comes naturally for healthcare providers particularly nurses as this is part of their altruistic nature. The right balance of caring for others and self-care is key to a healthy professional quality of life (ProQOL) which encompasses Compassion Satisfaction and prevents Burnout (BO) and Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS). With the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic that has resulted in higher morbidity and mortality, the demands of the healthcare system on nurses are overwhelming. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, and the related factors of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress among nurses in a government facility during a pandemic Method: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study which utilized a validated Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) selfadministered questionnaire measuring Compassion Satisfaction, Burnout, and Secondary Traumatic Stress (Stamm, 2010). The survey was conducted from June 1-30, 2020 among a sample size of 204 qualified and willing nurses who signed an informed consent. All data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and parametric statistical tests (T-test and ANOVA). Statistical significance was at 99% CI and p-value of 0.05. Results: A total of 204 qualified and willing nurses were included in the study. Majority of the respondents belonged to the 2035 years of age bracket. Sixty-seven percent were female, married (54%); with no children (50%); finished BSN (91%); currently holding a Nurse II position (34%) with less than 5 years government service (56%) and with less than 5 years of field experience (58%). Seventy-seven percent (77%) did not have pre-existing diseases while 33% had either Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Bronchial Asthma and other non-communicable diseases. Overall ProQOL mean scores ranged from average to high compassion satisfaction; low to average Burnout; and low to average Secondary Traumatic Stress. Related factors found significant at p vale 0.05 or less were areas of rotation and years in the field of practice Conclusion The study showed that the mean scores of the nurse respondents’ ProQOL encompassing Compassion Satisfaction, Burnout, and Secondary Traumatic Stress indicate a healthy ProQOL from June 1-30, 2020. Areas of rotation and years in the field of practice are statistically significant in relation to ProQOL mean scores. All other factors are not statistically significant correlates

PURPOSE: The application rate for surgical residents in Korea has continuously decreased over the past few years. The demanding workload and the occupational stress of surgical training are likely causes of this problem. The aim of this study was to investigate occupational stress and its related factors in Korean surgical residents. METHODS: With the support of the Korean Surgical Society, we conducted an electronic survey of Korean surgical residents related to occupational stress. We used the Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS) to measure occupational stress. We analyzed the data focused on the stress level and the factors associated with occupational stress. RESULTS: The mean KOSS score of the surgical residents was 55.39, which was significantly higher than that of practicing surgeons (48.16, P < 0.001) and the average score of specialized professionals (46.03, P < 0.001). Exercise was the only factor found to be significantly associated with KOSS score (P = 0.001) in univariate analysis. However, in multiple linear regression analysis, the mean number of assigned patients, resident occupation rate and exercise were all significantly associated with KOSS score. CONCLUSION: Surgical residents have high occupational stress compared to practicing surgeons and other professionals. Their mean number of assigned patients, resident recruitment rate and exercise were all significantly associated with occupational stress for surgical residents.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between moral distress, physical symptoms, and burnout among clinical nurses. METHODS: Data were collected by self-report questionnaires targeting 140 nurses from a university hospital in Chungju. The data were analyzed by, Kruskal-Wallis, Pearson correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. RESULTS: Moral distress due to the general characteristics of the participants showed a statistically significant difference at the current working department (χ2=36.01, p<.001). Hospital nurses' moral distress had a statistically significant correlation with burnout (r=.358, p<.001) and physical symptoms (r=.440, p<.001). Factors influencing hospital nurses' burnout, pro were physical symptoms, moral distress, and marital status, accounting for 36% of the variance. CONCLUSION: The findings indicate that moral distress and physical symptoms influence burnout among hospital nurses. Therefore, interventions for burnout among hospital nurses should include an empowerment program to reduce physical symptoms and moral distress.
