RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Burnout is a pervasive psychosocial syndrome that manifests as a chronic response to interpersonal stressors encountered in the occupational setting. Neurosurgeons exhibit a high prevalence rate of burnout, ranging from 33% to 67%. The primary objective of this study is to examine the prevalence of Burnout syndrome within the neurosurgical community and identify the contributing factors. METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted utilizing an anonymous survey format, incorporating the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) questionnaire. Additional inquiries were made regarding demographic characteristics, occupational factors, lifestyle choices, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire. The survey was disseminated between March 23rd, 2023, and April 4th, 2023, utilizing the email registries of the Spanish Society of Neurosurgery (SENEC) and the Latin American Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (FLANC). Descriptive analysis was performed, comparing responses between participants with and without burnout syndrome using cross-tabulation and the Chi-square test to assess the presence of dependency. RESULTS: A total of 282 neurosurgeons completed the survey. The sample comprised 30.1% females and 69.9% males, with a median age within the 30-40 range. Among the surveyed neurosurgeons, 66.7% exhibited a prevalence of burnout, while 23.4% met the criteria for defined burnout. Significantly higher rates of burnout syndrome were observed among residents, specifically those in their fifth year of residency, as well as those whose departments perform a moderate range of surgeries (500-1000), participating in on-call duties, lacking regular physical exercise (at least twice a week), engaging infrequently in social activities with friends, lacking extracurricular hobbies, and obtaining scores exceeding 10 points in any of the HADS subscales. CONCLUSIONS: Burnout syndrome affects nearly a quarter of the neurosurgical specialists included in this study. Moreover, a distinct profile associated with defined burnout among neurosurgeons emerges, encompassing characteristics such as being a fifth-year resident, belongs to departments with a moderate number of surgeries, with few extra-occupational distractions and exhibiting symptoms of depression or anxiety.

RESUMO

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of 6-month treatment with aripiprazole long-acting injectable (LAI) in improving psychotic symptoms, social functioning and side effects and reducing co-administered antipsychotic drugs.Methods: Multicentre, observational, prospective study that enrolled 53 patients with diagnosis of schizophrenia spectrum disorders who initiated or switched to aripiprazole LAI. The effectiveness of aripiprazole LAI was assessed through the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Udvalg for Kliniske Undersogelser scale for side effects, the Global Assessment of Functioning and the Clinical Global Impression-Schizophrenia (CGI-SCH).Results: Upon treatment with aripiprazole LAI, patients significantly improved all the domains of PANSS (p < .05). Adverse event severity significantly improved after a 6-month aripiprazole LAI treatment (p < .05). Differences from baseline to month 6 in Global Assessment of Functioning score were significant (p = .0002). The proportion of severely ill patients decreased upon treatment with aripiprazole LAI (CGI-SCH scale). Prolactin levels were normalised after a 6-month treatment (from 43.0 to 14.7 ng/mL). Co-administered antipsychotic drugs significantly decreased after a 6-month treatment with aripiprazole LAI.Conclusion: A 6-month treatment with aripiprazole LAI improved the clinical status of our patients without modifying their metabolic profile, and allowed the reduction of co-administered antipsychotic drugs.Practice implicationsLong-acting injectable antipsychotics are effective treatment options for the maintenance of patients with schizophrenia and related disorders, and to ensure treatment adherence. This study describes the evolution of patients over six months of treatment with aripiprazole long-acting injectable. The results from this study support previous data on the efficacy and safety of this atypical antipsychotic. This study may be of wide interest to the community of psychiatrists and may help clinicians optimise treatment adherence in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders.Key pointsAripiprazole long-acting injectable is an atypical antipsychotic intended to improve treatment adherence and prevent relapses.This multicentre prospective study evaluated the effectiveness of aripiprazole long-acting injectable over six months of treatment on the control of a comprehensive set of clinical variables.Clinical rating scales showed that treatment with aripiprazole long-acting injectable improved clinical symptoms and social functioning, and reduced the severity of adverse events.Aripiprazole long-acting injectable contributed to the maintenance of adequate metabolic profiles and the normalisation of prolactin levels.Patients significantly decreased co-administered antipsychotic drugs after 6-month treatment with aripiprazole.
