AbstractObjectives: The hypothesis that burnout is predictive of performance deficits on a number of neuropsychological tests was examined among a group of psychiatric nurses. A possible relationship between burnout and state and trait anxiety levels was also investigated.Methods: A sample of psychiatric nurses (n=45) completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Their performance on a number of neurocognitive tests from the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) was examined. The neurocognitive tests measured visual memory, verbal memory and attention.Results: Multiple regression analyses were conducted between the burnout subscales and the results of the neuropsychological tests, and also between the burnout subscales and both state and trait anxiety levels. No overall significant relationship was found between neurocognitive performance and burnout. However, trait anxiety was significantly predictive of each of the burnout subscales of emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and also of decreased personal accomplishment.Conclusions: The levels of burnout were in the moderate range for all three subscales and so the population was suffering from burnout. The fact that the trait anxiety variable was predictive of all three of the burnout subscales suggests that predisposition towards anxiety may be a vulnerability factor among people who suffer from burnout.

We aim to evaluate the anxiety levels of caregivers of children with tracheostomy during the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. Caregivers of 31 children with tracheostomy and 105 healthy children (control group) were included. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was administered via teleconference in order to investigate how participants describe how they feel at a particular moment (State) and how they generally feel (Trait). The trait anxiety levels of caregivers of children with tracheostomy were significantly higher ( P = .02). Their state anxiety levels were similar. The state and trait anxiety levels of caregivers of children with tracheostomy correlated ( r = 0.70, P < .001). At the end of the teleconference, caregivers of children with tracheostomy experienced greater anxiety relief than controls ( P < .001). Trait anxiety scores were higher among caregivers of children with tracheostomy, but their state anxiety levels were comparable to those of controls. Caregivers with high trait anxiety also exhibited high state anxiety. Informing caregivers of children with tracheostomy about COVID-19 via teleconference can reduce their anxiety during such stressful times.

Task Conditions

This study investigated cardiac and electrodermal responses in competitive gymnasts differing in levels of trait anxiety and repression. The research strategy was to seek differences in tonic and phasic physiological measures that occurred in association with differences in state and/or trait anxiety levels, and then to investigate whether similar differences were associated with differences in levels of repression. Two task conditions were employed: A resting baseline session was counterbalanced with an imagery session in which subjects were requested to image their current team routine in real time. For half of each session, subjects were instructed to either count (relevant) stimuli or ignore (irrelevant) stimuli. The results established a number of psychophysiological differences between groups differing on state and trait anxiety. Similar differences as a result of repression were not obtained, raising questions about the validity of the construct of “repression” in this context. There were some small effects, however, suggesting that repression may affect components of attentional processing in different situations.

Administrators, in general, are at greater risk of facing anxiety than are other people, due to their duties and responsibilities. In this study, both state and trait anxiety levels of college administrators were assessed and the administrators were compared based on their anxiety levels. For the purpose of assessing state and trait anxiety levels, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970) adapted to Turkish by LeCompte and Oner (1975) was used. The sample of the study included 72 college administrators who were working in Turkish state and private universities in different regions of the country. Results showed significant correlation between the state and trait anxiety levels. No significant difference was found based on gender, age, administrative level, or tenure. However, the direction of the differences was similar to those of the previous studies. Results are discussed and suggestions are given.

State And Trait Anxiety

The aim of this research was to identify levels of participation in recreational activities in children living under the protection of children's shelter in Karaman province. Then, determine their decision making, trait anxiety and burnout levels in terms of psychosocial variables. In this qualitative study, research group consisted of 31 children between the ages of 7-18 who are protected in 6 children’s shelter which are under the control of the ministry of Family and Social Policies, coordination center of children’s shelter in Karaman. In the direction of expert guidance, the sampling group consisted of a house among 6 children’s shelter where children reside between the ages of 15-17 with 5 children capacity. Besides personal information questions, qualitative questions formed with the guidance of decision making scale, spielberger state and trait anxiety scale and maslach burnout inventory-student survey were asked the sampling group. Four themes which were recreation, decision making, trait anxiety and burnout were emerged after thematic content coding. Findings indicate that participants need more social and sportive recreational activities. Participants have positive mood, happy and their burnout level is low. They take their own decisions even they consult around people caring them. They also do not regret after their decisions. Despite they have no concern about their occupation in future due to their confidence themselves. They have nervouspsyschological structure because of their possible conflicts with their parents. Hence, it is possible that their anxiety and burnout levels can reach high level.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, Karaman ili bünyesindeki çocuk evlerinde korunma altına alınan çocukların rekreatif faaliyetlere katılım düzeylerinin belirlenerek bu bağlamda, yaşamlarının psiko-sosyal açıdan incelenip, elde edilen verilere göre karar verme, sürekli kaygı ile tükenmişlik düzeylerini belirlemektir. Yapılan nitel araştırmada, çalışma grubunu, Karaman Aile ve Sosyal Politikalar İl Müdürlüğü, Çocuk Evleri Koordinasyon Merkezi bünyesinde oluşturulan 6 çocuk evinde koruma altına alınan 7-18 yaş aralığında toplam 31 çocuk oluşturmakta olup, örneklemini ise uzman yönlendirmesi doğrultusunda adı geçen 6 çocuk evi içerisinden 15-17 yaş aralığında çocukların ikamet ettiği ve toplamda 5 çocuk kapasiteli bir çocuk evi meydana getirmektedir. Çalışmada, kişisel bilgi formu, Melbourne Karar Verme Ölçeği, Spielberger Durumluk ve Sürekli Kaygı Ölçeği ve Maslach Tükenmişlik Envanteri-Öğrenci Formundan faydalanılarak hazırlanan sorular katılımcılara sözel olarak yöneltilmiştir. Yapılan tematik içerik kodlaması sonrasında rekreasyon, karar verme, sürekli kaygı ve tükenmişlik olarak dört tema oluşturulmuştur.Yapılan araştırma neticesinde; katılımcıların daha fazla sosyal ve sportif rekreatif aktivitelere ihtiyaç duydukları; kararlarını çevresinde önem verdiği kişilere danışmasına rağmen kendileri aldıkları ve bunun sonucunda pişman olmadıkları; genel anlamdatükenmişlik düzeylerinin düşük, mutlu ve olumlu bir ruh hali içerisinde oldukları ve kendilerine olan güvenleri doğrultusunda gelecekte edinecekleri meslek konusunda bir endişe taşımamalarına rağmen, aileleri ile ilgili yaşanılacak olumsuzluklar neticesinde, sinirli bir yapıya bürünüp bu hususla ilgili kaygı ve tükenmişlik düzeylerinin yüksek boyutlara ulaşabilme ihtimalinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Burnout is a work-specific syndrome with high incidence among intensive care unit personnel. Although several risk factors have been proposed, data regarding the association of anxiety and burnout among intensive care unit physicians are scarce. The aim of this study is to investigate the incidence of burnout and its association with state and trait anxiety and other sociodemographic, behavioural and occupational-related parameters, among intensivists. A population of intensive care physicians was evaluated using the self-completed Maslach Burnout Inventory and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y, and data regarding sociodemographic and occupational-related variables were also recorded. From the 98 intensive care physicians addressed, 80 returned fully completed questionnaires; 26.9% of them presented with high emotional exhaustion, 37.5% with high depersonalisation and 41.5% with low personal accomplishment scores. Trait anxiety, fear of having committed a medical error and self-reporting difficulty when having to act accurately were independently associated with high burnout. In conclusion, burnout is common among intensivists and is associated with specific behavioural characteristics and personality traits, but not with work-related factors.

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the effects of Pilates and walking on quality of life, depression, and anxiety levels. Methods: Sixty-three overweight/obese participants were randomly divided into: control (n = 20), walking (n = 21), and Pilates (n = 22) groups. Pilates and walking groups attended eight weeks of 60-minute exercise sessions three times per week. Quality of life, depression, and state- and trait-anxiety levels were evaluated before and after eight weeks of training. Results: Scores of quality of life, depression, and trait-anxiety improved in the Pilates and walking groups. State-anxiety levels improved only in the walking group. Conclusion: Pilates and walking positively impact quality of life, depression and anxiety. The Pilates method could be used as an alternative to improve mood disorders in overweight/obese individuals.
