“…Robust links have been established between early childhood teacher health, stress, sleep, and well-being—interrelated factors ( Toker & Melamed, 2017 )—and young children's learning and development across domains (e.g., Al-Adwan & Al-Khayat, 2017 ; Sandilos et al, 2018 ; Whitaker et al, 2015 ). Early childhood teacher health, stress, sleep, and well-being have been shown to affect the quality of teacher–student interactions ( Whitaker et al, 2015 ); emotional and instructional support ( Sandilos et al, 2018 ); children's social competence ( Siekkinen et al, 2013 ); and young children's psychological, social, and emotional growth ( Al-Adwan & Al-Khayat, 2017 ).…”

“…Against this background, some researchers have highlighted the importance of efficient recovery from occupational stress during off-job time as a resilience factor (Sonnentag & Fritz, 2015; Toker & Melamed, 2017). For instance, Sonnentag, Venz, and Casper (2017) found that faster recovery from work-related stress was associated with improved psychological well-being.…”

Researchers have emphasized the role of physical activity in accelerating recovery from stress. Therefore, the primary goal of the present study was to examine whether regular physical activity moderates the relationship between occupational stress and burnout symptoms in Swiss workers. 309 employees took part in the cross-sectional study. Occupational stress was operationalized with the job demands–control model and the effort–reward imbalance model. Physical activity was assessed via the International Physical Activity Questionnaire; burnout symptoms were measured with the Shirom–Melamed Burnout Measure. Higher occupational stress was positively associated with burnout symptoms, whereas higher physical activity levels were negatively associated with occupational stress and burnout symptoms. Participants with higher physical activity levels reported fewer burnout symptoms when they perceived high stress levels, independent of whether occupational stress was assessed via the job demands–control or effort–reward imbalance model. Although job constraints are seldom modifiable, we claim that regular leisure-time physical activity is more than a simple pastime and can make an important contribution to a thriving workforce that feels better able to cope with occupational stress.

“…By doing this, boundaries between work time and nonwork time can be set, so work-life balance can enable individuals to recover from work. This may be more effective in reducing emotional exhaustion [30]. Additionally, a past study reported that Chinese residents work far more than 40 h a week in hospitals, while their income is pitifully leading to reduced professional dignity and sense of honor, and increased emotional strain [31].…”

Social support, anxiety symptoms, and depression symptoms among residents in standardized residency training programs: the mediating effects of emotional exhaustion

et al. 2021

Background Although studies indicate that social support is related to emotional exhaustion, depression symptoms, and anxiety symptoms, the underlying mechanism between those variables remains unknown. Methods Based on a sample of 254 residents in standardized residency training programs, two mediation models were tested in which emotional exhaustion served as a mediator in the relationship between social support and anxiety symptoms/depression symptoms. We used the following self-reported questionnaires as instruments to collect data: zung self-rating depression scale, zung self-rating anxiety scale, social support rating scale, and emotional exhaustion scale. Results In the final study sample, the mean age of the residents was 25.92 years old (SD =1.88), and a total of 41.3% were male, and 58.7% were female. This current study suggested that social support was proven to be a relevant factor affecting anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms. Particularly, the results also indicated that emotional exhaustion partially mediated the impact of social support on anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms among Chinese residents in the standardized residency training program. Conclusions Our study signifies that enhancements in social support and reduction of emotional exhaustion can directly or indirectly affect anxiety symptoms and depression symptoms among Chinese residents in the standardized residency training program. These findings will offer insight for health-sector managers to develop programs aimed at social support and adopt individual-level interventions and organization-level interventions to reduce emotional exhaustion.
