Article Abstract

Depersonalization disorder, characterized by emotional detachment, has been associated with increased prefrontal cortical and decreased autonomic activity to emotional stimuli. Event-related fMRI with simultaneous measurements of skin conductance levels occurred in nine depersonalization disorder patients and 12 normal controls to neutral, mild and intense happy and sad facial expressions. Patients, but not controls, showed decreases in subcortical limbic activity to increasingly intense happy and sad facial expressions, respectively. For both happy and sad expressions, negative correlations between skin conductance measures in bilateral dorsal prefrontal cortices occurred only in depersonalization disorder patients. Abnormal decreases in limbic activity to increasingly intense emotional expressions, and increases in dorsal prefrontal cortical activity to emotionally arousing stimuli may underlie the emotional detachment of depersonalization disorder.

» Physician burnout is an occupational crisis that consists of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced perceived sense of personal accomplishment. It is highly prevalent among orthopaedic surgeons, with the highest rate seen in residents.» Burnout can have a detrimental impact on resident mental and physical health, patient care through medical errors and poor patient interactions, and the healthcare system.

Background: Nurse burnout remains a significant global challenge, exacerbated by rotating shift work, which disrupts circadian rhythms and contributes to psychological strain. Burnout is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment-outcomes that can compromise patient care and workforce stability.

Objective: This systematic review examines the association between rotating shift work and nurse burnout, focusing on how specific shift characteristics influence each burnout dimension and exploring contextual moderators such as organizational support and work environment.

Background: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into healthcare is advancing rapidly, yet little is known about how ICU nurses perceive this shift, particularly in low-resource settings.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine ICU nurses' perceived concerns regarding AI adoption, focusing on awareness, prior experience, and levels of worry related to AI integration.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 235 ICU nurses from nine hospitals in the West Bank.

Objective: To investigate the neural and molecular correlates of occupational burnout in nurses by integrating resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI), clinical assessments, brain-wide gene expression, and neurotransmitter atlases.

Methods: Fifty-one female nurses meeting burnout criteria and 51 matched healthy controls underwent 3 T rs-fMRI. We analyzed fractional amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (fALFF) and seed-based functional connectivity (FC), correlating findings with burnout (emotional exhaustion [EE], depersonalization [DP], and personal accomplishment [PA]).

Secure Messages, Video Visits, and Burnout Among Primary Care Providers in the Veterans Health Administration: National Survey Study.

J Med Internet Res

Department of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, 11301 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, 90073, United States, 1 3104783711 ext. 44860.

Background: Telehealth use, including video visits and secure messages, expanded significantly in Veterans Health Administration (VHA) primary care during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, primary care provider (PCP) burnout also increased during this period. Each modality may have affected primary care workloads differently (either by substituting for or complementing in-person visits) and thereby had varying effects on PCP burnout.
