Burnout and Occupational Stress Among Hungarian Radiographers Working in Emergency and Non-Emergency Departments During COVID-19 Pandemic

Introduction: The increased workload caused by the coronavirus pandemic may have had a significant impact on the mental health of radiographers. The aim of our study was to investigate burnout and occupational stress in radiographers working in emergency departments (ED) and non-emergency departments (NED). Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive research was carried out among radiographers working in the public health sector in Hungary. Due to the cross-sectional nature of our survey, there was no overlap between the ED and NED groups. For data collection, we used simultaneously the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Effort-Reward Imbalance questionnaire (ERI), and our self-designed questionnaire. Results: We excluded incomplete questionnaires from our survey; finally, 439 responses were evaluated. Significantly higher scores for depersonalisation (DP; 8.43 (SD = 6.69) vs. 5.63 (SD = 4.21) and emotional exhaustion (EE; 25.07 (SD = 11.41) vs. 19.72 (SD = 11.72)) were observed in radiographers working in ED (p = 0.001; p = 0.001) when compared to NED. Male radiographers working in ED aged 20–29 and 30–39 years with experience of 1–9 years were more affected by DP (p ≤ 0.05). Worrying about one's own health had a negative effect on DP and EE (p ≤ 0.05). Having close friend with a COVID-19 infection had a negative effect on EE (p ≤ 0.05); not being infected with coronavirus, not being quarantined and relocating within the workplace had a positive effect on personal accomplishment (PA); radiographers who were 50 years or older with 20–29 years of experience were more affected by depersonalisation (DP); and those who worried about their health had significantly higher stress scores (p ≤ 0.05) in both ED and NED settings. Conclusion: Male radiographers at the beginning of their careers were more affected by burnout. Employment in EDs had a negative impact on DP and EE. Implications for practice: Our results support the implementation of interventions to counter the effects of occupational stress and burnout among radiographers working in ED

Elevated extracellular HSP70 (HSPA1A) level as an independent prognostic marker of mortality in patients with heart failure

Predicting the survival of a patient with heart failure (HF) is a complex problem in clinical practice. Our previous study reported that extracellular HSP70 (HSPA1A) correlates with markers of heart function and disease severity in HF, but the predictive value of HSP70 is unclear. The goal of this study was to analyze extracellular HSP70 as predictive marker of mortality in HF. One hundred ninety-five patients with systolic heart failure were enrolled and followed up for 60 months. By the end of follow-up, 85 patients were alive (survivors) and 110 died (nonsurvivors). HSP70 (measured by ELISA in the serum) was elevated in nonsurvivors, compared with survivors (0.39 [0.27-0.59] vs. 0.30 [0.24-0.43] ng/ml, respectively, p = 0.0101). In Kaplan-Meier survival analysis higher HSP70 levels above median were associated with a significantly increased mortality. In multivariable survival models, we show that HSP70 level above the median is an age-, sex-, body mass index-, creatinine-, and NT-proBNP-independent predictor of 5-year mortality in HF. Extracellular HSP70 could prove useful for estimating survival in patients with HF
