Meta AnalysisEffectiveness of interventions to reduce emergency department staff occupational stress and/or burnout: a systematic review.
The objective of this review was to synthesize the best evidence for the effectiveness of interventions to reduce occupational stress and/or burnout in the emergency department. ⋯ Individual-focused interventions, including both educational interventions and mindfulness-based interventions, have the potential to reduce occupational stress and/or burnout for staff working in emergency departments. However, inconsistencies in reporting and outcome measurements impact certainty of results. More high-quality randomized controlled trials are recommended with larger sample sizes as well as measurement of long-term effects to improve knowledge in this field.
