Teacher burnout affects job performance and mental and physical health. This study evaluated the effects of a meditation-based wellness program on burnout, resilience, psychological distress, and fatigue. Seventy-eight participants, randomly assigned to the Transcendental Meditation program (n = 39) or to a wait-list control group (n = 39), were administered the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Resilience Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and the National Institutes of Health Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System fatigue and depression scales at baseline and at four-month posttest. Intention-to-treat with all 78 participants was used for all analyses. Significant reduction on emotional exhaustion, the main scale of the Maslach Burnout Inventory, was found for the meditation group compared to controls (p = 0.019). Significant improvements were also found on resilience (p = 0.014), perceived stress (p < 0.001), fatigue (p = 0.001), and depression (p = 0.091). Eighty-seven percent were compliant with their meditation home practice. Findings indicate that meditation is effective in improving burnout and associated resilience, psychological distress, and fatigue factors. Teachers may benefit from in-school wellness programs.

Objective To assess the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on relieving stress-related symptoms—sleep disorders, anxiety, depression and burnout—in medical students. Methods Eighty-two students were randomised into an EA treatment group (n=30), a sham TENS group (n=18) and an untreated control group (n=34). EA was applied at a continuous frequency of 2 Hz to the limbs, face, ears and scalp for 20 min once a week, over 6–8 weeks. Sham transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) was performed on similar sites for the same number of times in each session and for the same length of time. Outcome measurements included a comparison of the indices obtained by different self-applied questionnaires before and after treatment. The surveys used were the Mini-Sleep Questionnaire (MSQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), the Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories (BDI and BAI) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory—Student Survey (MBI-SS), in addition to the Quality of Life Questionnaire—abbreviated version (WHOQOL-bref). Results EA significantly improved scores on the MSQ, PSQI, BDI and the cynicism and academic efficacy (AE) dimensions of the MBI-SS in relation to the control. Sleep quality (MSQ) improved from 36.9 (SD 7.6) to 25.0 (5.7) with EA, 37.6 (6.0) to 32.1 (6.9) with sham TENS, and 36.5 (5.9) to 33.6 (6.7) in the controls (p=0.0000). Compared with the sham TENS group, EA significantly reduced scores on the PSQI. Score improvements in the sham TENS group in relation to control group were significant in the MSQ, BDI and AE. In the EA group, the number of students with better scores after intervention was significantly higher for the MSQ, PSQI, ESS and BAI. This only occurred for the MSQ in the sham TENS group and for the MSQ and ESS in the control group. Conclusions EA significantly reduced stress-related mental symptoms. The improvement obtained by sham TENS compared with the control group confirmed the presence of a placebo effect resulting from the treatment ritual.

Objectives. With 43% of Australians experiencing occupational burnout therapies for burnout reduction are paramount to organisational efficiency. Exercise has potential to provide a multilevel and cost effective burnout intervention. The current study aims to extend the literature by comparing cardiovascular with resistance exercise to assess their relative effectiveness against well-being, perceived stress, and burnout. Design. Participants were 49 (36 females and 13 males) previously inactive volunteers ranging in age from 19 to 68 that completed a four week exercise program of either cardiovascular, resistance, or no exercise (control). Method. Participants were measured against the Subjective Exercise Experience Scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Results. After four weeks of exercise participants had greater positive well-being and personal accomplishment, and concomitantly less psychological distress, perceived stress, and emotional exhaustion. Cardiovascular exercise was found to increase well-being and decrease psychological distress, perceived stress, and emotional exhaustion. Resistance training was noticeably effective in increasing well-being and personal accomplishment and to reduce perceived stress. Our preliminary findings revealed large effect sizes suggesting that exercise may be an effective treatment for burnout. However, given a small sample size further research needs to be conducted. Conclusion. Different types of exercise may thus help protect against burnout as exercise seems to increase well-being and personal accomplishment while decreasing psychological distress, perceived stress, and emotional exhaustion. Organisations that want to address burnout can assist by improving their employees’ access to regular exercise programs.

Background: The rate of hip arthroscopic surgery has recently increased; however, there is limited literature examining patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in cigarette smokers. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether smoking status for patients undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery affects clinical findings and PRO scores. We hypothesized that patients who smoke and undergo primary hip arthroscopic surgery will have similar clinical examination findings and preoperative and postoperative PRO scores compared with nonsmoking patients. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Data were collected on all patients who underwent primary hip arthroscopic surgery from February 2008 to July 2015. A retrospective analysis of the data was then conducted to identify patients who reported cigarette use at the time of the index procedure. Patients were matched 1:2 (smoking:nonsmoking) based on sex, age within 5 years, labral treatment (repair vs reconstruction vs debridement), workers’ compensation status, and body mass index within 5 kg/m2. All patients were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively using 4 PRO measures: the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS), Hip Outcome Score–Sport-Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS), and International Hip Outcome Tool–12 (iHOT-12). Pain was estimated using a visual analog scale. Satisfaction was measured on a scale from 0 to 10. Significance was set at P < .05. Results: A total of 75 hips were included in the smoking group, and 150 hips were included in the control group. Preoperatively, the smoking group had significantly lower PRO scores compared with the control group for the mHHS, NAHS, and HOS-SSS. Both groups demonstrated significant improvement from preoperative levels. A minimum 2-year follow-up was achieved, with a mean of 42.5 months for the smoking group and 47.6 months for the control group ( P = .07). At the latest follow-up, the smoking group reported inferior results for all outcome measures compared with controls. The improvement in PRO scores and rates of treatment failure, revision arthroscopic surgery, and complications was not statistically different between the groups. Conclusion: Patients who smoke had lower PRO scores preoperatively and at the latest follow-up compared with nonsmokers. Both groups demonstrated significant improvement in all PRO scores. These results show that while hip arthroscopic surgery may still yield clinical benefit in smokers, these patients may ultimately achieve an inferior functional status. To optimize results, physicians should advise patients to cease smoking before undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery.

Purpose Effects of a mindfulness-based (MB) yoga practice on stress, burnout, and indicators of well-being among nurses and health care professionals (HCPs). Design A randomized controlled trial, 80 HCPs assigned to either MB yoga intervention or control group. Method The MB yoga intervention group ( n = 41) attended weekly yoga classes and practiced yoga independently. The control group ( n = 39) did not receive the yoga intervention. Study participants completed pre- and postintervention questionnaires, instruments included (a) Perceived Stress Scale; (b) Maslach Burnout Inventory; (c) Vitality subscale of the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form–36; (d) Global Sleep Quality item, (e) Mindfulness Awareness Survey, and (f) subscale of the Brief Serenity Scale. Diurnal salivary cortisol and blood pressure were assessed pre and postintervention. Results Significant improvements ( p < .01) noted in MB yoga compared with control for self-reported factors, including stress (Perceived Stress Scale), burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory), vitality (Medical Outcomes Study Short Form–36), sleep (GSQ), serenity/inner haven (IH), and mindfulness (Mindfulness Awareness Survey). Diurnal cortisol slopes and blood pressure were not significantly improved. Conclusion The MB yoga intervention had a statistically significant effect on the health and well-being of nurses and HCPs, most specifically for measures of stress; perceived stress, burnout, vitality, sleep quality, serenity, and mindfulness.

Poor adherence to treatment instructions may play an important role in the failure of Helicobacter pylori eradication. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of telephone-based reeducation on 14-day quadruple H. pylori eradication therapy. In total, 162 patients were randomly assigned (1 : 1) to either the intervention group (patients received telephone-based reeducation on the 4th, 7th, and 10th days of the course) or the control group (patients received instructions only at the time of getting the prescriptions). All patients received a 14-day quadruple H. pylori eradication therapy. The primary outcome was the H. pylori eradication rate. The secondary outcomes included the symptom relief rates and the incidence rates of adverse events. Seventy-five patients in the reeducation group and 74 patients in the control group completed the follow-up. The H. pylori eradication rate in the reeducation group was statistically higher than that in the control group (intention-to-treat: 72.8% vs. 50.6%, P=0.006; per-protocol: 78.7% vs. 55.4%, P=0.003). However, the symptom relief rates and the adverse event rates in these two groups were not significantly different. Overall, the results from this study suggest that telephone-based reeducation can be potentially applied to improve the H. pylori eradication rate in clinical practice, without significantly increasing the adverse effects.

AbstractObjective:To identify pain phenotypes among adults living with cerebral palsy (CP), and compare phenotypes in terms of pain intensity, anxiety and depressive symptoms, and self-reported perceived stress.Method:Seventy-one adults with CP who presented to the University of Michigan (mean age = 39.3±16.2; 43 females, 28 males). The median of 6 on the American College of Rheumatology fibromyalgia survey was used to classify patients for nociplastic pain centralization. The painDETECT Score was used to classify patients for neuropathic pain. These measures were then used to cross-classify each patient into one of four possible pain categories: neuropathic, nociplastic, mixed neuropathic/noclipastic or nociceptive pain (-neuropathic/-nociplastic pain).Results:Twenty-eight adults with CP (39.4%) were classified as nociceptive, 24 (33.8%) as nociplastic, 8 (11.3%) as neuropathic, and 11 (15.5%) as mixed neuropathic/nociplastic. Subgroups differed significantly on average scores on the Brief Pain Inventory pain intensity scale, the Perceived Stress Scale, and on the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System measures of anxiety and depression; the nociceptive pain subgroup reported lower pain and emotional distress compared with the other groups.Conclusion:Findings suggest that type of pain is variable among adults with CP, and may arise through multiple mechanisms.

ABSTRACT There is a paucity of literature investigating the effect of lumbopelvic mobility on patient-reported outcome scores (PROs) after primary hip arthroscopy. The purpose of this study was (i) to report minimum 1-year PROs in patients with limited lumbopelvic mobility (LM) who underwent primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and (ii) to compare clinical results with a propensity-matched control group of patients with normal lumbopelvic mobility (NM). Data were reviewed for surgeries performed between November 2019 and March 2020. Patients were considered eligible if they received a primary hip arthroscopy for FAIS in the setting of LM (seated to standing change in sacral slope ≤ 10°). LM patients were propensity-matched to a control group of patients with normal lumbopelvic motion (seated to standing change in sacral slope &gt; 10°) for comparison. A total of 17 LM and 34 propensity-matched NM patients were included in the study. LM patients showed significant improvement in all outcome measures and achieved the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) at high rates for modified Harris Hip Score (MCID: 94% and PASS: 82%) and International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12; MCID: 94% and iHOT-12: 76%). When LM patients were compared to a propensity-matched control group of NM patients, they demonstrated similar postoperative PROs and rates of achieving MCID/PASS. LM patients who undergo primary hip arthroscopy may expect favorable short-term PROs at minimum 1-year follow-up. These results were comparable to a control group of NM patients.

Whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS), an innovative training technology, is considered as a joint-friendly, highly customizable and particularly time-effective option for improving muscle strength and stability, body composition and pain relief. The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of 16 weeks of once-weekly WB-EMS on maximum isometric trunk (MITS), leg extensor strength (MILES), lean body mass (LBM) and body-fat content. A cohort of 54 male amateur golfers, 18 to 70 years old and largely representative for healthy adults, were randomly assigned to a WB-EMS (n = 27) or a control group (CG: n = 27). Bipolar low-frequency WB-EMS combined with low-intensity movements was conducted once per week for 20 min at the participants’ locations, while the CG maintained their habitual activity. The intention to treat analysis with multiple imputation was applied. After 16 weeks of once-weekly WB-EMS application with an attendance rate close to 100%, we observed significant WB-EMS effects on MITS (p < 0.001), MILES (p = 0.001), LBM (p = 0.034), but not body-fat content (p = 0.080) and low-back pain (LBP: p ≥ 0.078). In summary, the commercial setting of once-weekly WB-EMS application is effective to enhance stability, maximum strength, body composition and, to a lower extent, LBP in amateur golfers widely representative for a healthy male cohort.

Objectives: (1) To report minimum five-year patient reported outcomes (PROs) in borderline dysplastic patients with ligamentum teres (LT) tears who underwent hip arthroscopy and (2) to compare these PROs to a pair-matched control group of borderline dysplastic hips without LT tears. Methods: Data was prospectively collected for patients who underwent hip arthroscopy during September 2008 and August 2013. Patients were included if had a preoperative diagnosis of borderline dysplasia [lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) of 18°- 25°] and had preoperative and minimum five-year postoperative modified Harris Hip Scores (mHHS), Non-Arthritic Hip Scores (NAHS), and Visual Analogue Scale for pain (VAS) scores. Exclusion criteria were Tönnis grade osteoarthritis >1, previous hip conditions, any prior ipsilateral hip surgery, or workers’ compensation status. Two borderline dysplastic groups were created. An LT tear group was matched 1:1 to a control group (no LT tear) with similar age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and laterality via propensity score matching. Significance was set at P < 0.05. Results: 24 LT tear patients (24 hips) were matched 24 patients (24 hips) without an LT tear. There was no significant difference in age, sex, BMI, or laterality between groups. Mean age was 36.2 ± 17.2 and 34.9 ± 15.9 years for the control and LT tear group, respectively (P = 0.783). There were 17 (70.8%) and 16 (66.7%) females in the control and LT tear group, respectively and the mean preoperative LCEA was 23.3° and 22.2° in the control and LT tear group, respectively. No differences were observed between groups in baseline PROs, intraoperative findings, or surgical procedures, except for LT treatment. Five-year postoperative PROs were comparable in both groups, with the control group exhibiting superior Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey Mental Component (VR-12M) (P = 0.041) and Short Format 12 Mental Health (SF-12M) (P = 0.042). The control group exhibited less pain and higher satisfaction with surgery; however, this trend was not significant. Finally, the LT tear group was significantly less likely to achieve the patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) for mHHS (P = 0.022). Conclusion: Following hip arthroscopy, patients with borderline dysplasia and LT tears demonstrated favorable PROs at minimum five-year follow-up. Outcomes were similar to a pair-matched control group without LT tears, with the control group showing higher VR-12M and SF-12M scores. Furthermore, borderline dysplastic patients with LT tears were significantly less likely to achieve the PASS for mHHS.

Suggested subheadings are below Objectives: The iliopsoas is a major hip flexor that provides anterior hip stability. Recent studies report significant compromise to these important functions with iliopsoas tenotomy. The purpose of this study is to report the prevalence, associated findings, rendered procedures, and outcomes of hips with iliopsoas involvement undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAI and/or chondrolabral pathology. The hypothesis is that there is a decrease in the incidence of tenotomy compared with historic controls and that tenotomy compromises patient-reported outcomes. Methods: Level of evidence 3 controlled study with prospectively-collected multicenter database from 7 centers. Enrolled patients that underwent isolated hip arthroscopy that reached 2-year minimum follow-up with iHOT-12 were assigned to Iliopsoas group defined as pre-operative diagnosis of iliopsoas tendonitis, internal snapping symptoms, intra-operative anteroinferior labral pathology (below 3 O’clock location) and/or preoperative psoas injection or the control group. The prevalence of iliopsoas pathology, radiographic and intra-operative findings, and rendered procedures between groups were compared using Chi square analysis. Minimum 2-year outcomes of Iliopsoas group versus control group were compared using analysis of variance (a priori alpha set at 0.05). Subanalysis within the Iliopsoas group was performed of patients with versus without tenotomy. Results: There were 97 study group subjects and 1053 control group subjects. There was no statistical difference in demographics between the groups (p>0.05) nor was there a difference in length of preoperative symptom duration (p=0.51). There were no significant differences in the incidence of cam impingement, pincer impingement or dysplasia between cohorts, nor were there significant differences between radiographic measures. There was a similar incidence of femoroplasty, acetabuloplasty, chondroplasty, microfracture, and synovectomy (p>0.05) regardless of iliopsoas involvement. There was not a significant effect on the surgical treatment of the labrum based on psoas involvement (p>0.16). Labral repair was performed in 55% of patients with iliopsoas involvement and 62% of patients without iliopsoas involvement. Although there was not a significant difference in capsular closure between cohorts (96% vs 93%, p=0.121), the overwhelming majority of patients with psoas involvement received capsular repair (87%) or plication (9%). Pre-operative iHOT-12 scores were similar 34 (SD: 18) for the iliopsoas group and 35 (SD 18) for the control group groups (p=0.51). Post-operative iHOT-12 scores improved to 72 for both the groups. The iliopsoas group achieved MCID, SCB, and PASS scores established for the iHOT-12 of 83%, 62%, and 58% which were similar to the control group. Ten subjects (10%) in the iliopsoas group received iliopsoas tenotomy. Subjects with tenotomy had lower 2-year post-op iHOT-12 scores compared to the non-tenotomy subgroup (55 vs 72, respectively; p=0.03) . This corresponded with lower achievement of MCID scores (60% vs 86%; p=0.03) and SCB scores (30% vs 70%, p=0.01) of patients with tenotomy compared to those without tenotomy. Conclusion: Iliopsoas tenotomy is rarely performed relative to its prevalence in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy by high volume surgeons for FAI and/or chondrolabral pathology. Surgical outcomes are not worsened with iliopsoas involvement but are worsened with tenotomy.
