| 3 | Burnout in the emergency department: Randomized controlled trial of an attention-based training program显示文摘Background: Burnout(encompassing emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment) in healthcare professionals is a major issue worldwide. Emergency medicine physicians are particularly affected, potentially impacting on quality of care and attrition from the specialty.Objective: The aim of this study was to apply an attention-based training(ABT) program to reduce burnout among emergency multidisciplinary team(MDT) members from a large urban hospital.Design, setting, participants and interventions: Emergency MDT members were randomized to either a notreatment control or an intervention group. Intervention group participants engaged in a four session(4 h/session) ABT program over 7 weeks with a practice target of 20 min twice-daily. Practice adherence was measured using a smart phone application together with a wearable Charge 2 device.Main outcome measures: The primary outcome was a change in burnout, comprising emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal achievement. The secondary outcomes were changes in other psychological and biometric parameters.Results: The ABT program resulted in a significant reduction(P < 0.05; T1 [one week before intervention]vs T3 [follow-up at two months after intervention]) in burnout, specifically, emotional exhaustion, with an effect size(probability of superiority) of 59%. Similar reductions were observed for stress(P < 0.05) and anxiety(P < 0.05). Furthermore, ABT group participants demonstrated significant improvements in heart rate variability, resting heart rate, sleep as well as an increase in pro-inflammatory cytokine expression.Conclusion: This study describes a positive impact of ABT on emergency department staff burnout compared to a no-treatment control group. | Pádraic J.Dunne Julie Lynch Lucia Prihodova Caoimhe O'Leary Atiyeh Ghoreyshi Sharee A.Basdeo Donal J.Cox Rachel Breen Ali Sheikhi áine Carroll Cathal Walsh Geraldine McMahon Barry White | 2019 | Journal of Integrative Medicine2019，17，3： | 0 |
