- Burnout as a multidimensional phenomenon: how can workplaces be healthy environments?Publication . Gaspar, T.; Carvalho, M.; Matos, M.Purpose: Burnout was already a significant problem before the pandemics, but in the aftermath became a serious concern and a public health and occupational health priority. This study had two aims. First, it investigated how different healthy workplace dimensions and other health individual-level variables are related to burnout. Second, it examined differences in terms of presentism, absenteeism, quality of life between employees who report burnout symptoms and those who do not. Methods: Participants were 1702 Portuguese employees from various organizations. 69.68% were female, age ranged from 18 to 72 years (M ¼ 43.25 years, SD ¼ 10.40). Almost half of the participants (49.9%; 851 participants) reported having at least one burnout symptom. Results: Participants reported that they have felt exhausted (43.7%), irritated (34.5%) and sad (30.5%) always or very often in the last 4 weeks. Regression analysis revealed that the global score on burnout symptoms was negatively related to leadership engagement, psychosocial work environment, personal health resources, health behaviours, and satisfaction with salary. In addition, the global score on burnout symptoms was positively related to worker involvement, enterprise community involvement, perceived stress, and screen time at work. Furthermore, females tend to report a higher level of burnout symptoms compared to males. In addition, burnout has an impact on sickness absenteeism, presentism, and quality of life. Conclusions: Our findings have an important contribution to understanding and promoting a healthier work environment and reinforce the need for measures and policies to promote mental health, manage stress, and prevent burnout in the workplace. Key messages: • What best explains the burnout symptoms is the workers’ perceived stress, followed by psychosocial risk factors at work. • There is a positive relationship between perceived stress and burnout: effective work stress management is one of the protective factors that prevents burnout.
- Effectiveness of the third wave cognitive behavior therapy for peripartum depression treatment - a systematic reviewPublication . Rodriguez-Muñoz, M. F.; Rados, S. Nakic; Uka, A.; Marques, M.; Maia, B. R.; Matos, M.; Branquinho, M.; Aydin, R.; Mahmoodi, V.; Chrzan-Detkos, M.; Walczak-Kozlowska, T.; Liakea, I.Background: Peripartum depression is a high prevalent mental health problem with serious consequences. Evidence about effective psychological interventions in treating perinatal depression has been increasing, but it lacks a comprehensive synthesis of findings focused on the effectiveness of the third-wave cognitive behavioral therapies approach. Objectives: The aim of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of Third Wave psychological interventions in treating peripartum depression. Methods: A systematic review was conducted. The electronic databases MEDLINE (PubMed), PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Clinical Trials were searched, using a combination of different keywords. Data were independently extracted by two authors and a synthesis of the results was offered. Methodological quality was assessed by three authors, using ROB-2 and MINORS. Results: Six papers were included and reported, focused on the effectiveness of third wave cognitive behavior interventions in reducing depressive symptoms. Papers included Behavioral intervention (n ¼ 2), Mindfulness (n ¼ 2), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (n ¼ 1), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (n ¼ 1). Discussion: This systematic review showed that third wave cognitive behavior interventions are promising in effectiveness to reduce depression symptoms in peripartum women. However, more high-quality studies with extended follow-up periods are needed.
- Effectiveness of the third wave cognitive behavior therapy for peripartum depression treatment – a systematic reviewPublication . Rodriguez-Muñoz, M. F.; Radoš, S. Nakić; Uka, A.; Marques, M.; Maia, B. R.; Matos, M.; Branquinho, M.; Aydın, R.; Mahmoodi, V.; Chrzan-Dętkoś, Magdalena; Walczak-Kozłowska, Tamara; Liakea, I.Introduction: To investigate the effectiveness of third-wave cognitive behavior therapies in the treatment of peripartum depression. Method: A systematic review of the effectiveness of psychological interventions in treating peripartum depression focus on the Third Wave has been conducted. The electronic databases MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Clinical Trials were searched, using a combination of different search terms. Data were independently extracted by two authors and a synthesis of the results was offered. Methodological quality was assessed by three authors, using ROBE-2 and MINORS. Search date was conducted in February 2022 and the search was re-run in November 2022 for new entries. Findings: Six papers were included and reported, focused on, the effectiveness of Third Wave approach interventions in reducing depressive symptoms. Papers included the following intervention approaches: Behavioral intervention (n = 2), Mindfulness (n = 2), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (n = 1) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (n = 1). All six papers were consistent in that interventions lead to a decrease in depression symptoms. However, risk of bias evaluation showed that all were critical low, but one paper was high quality. Conclusion and implications for practice and research: Systematic review showed that third-wave approaches are promising in effectiveness to reduce depression symptoms in peripartum women. However, more high-quality studies with follow-up are needed.
