We don\u2019t want to downplay that at all because those risks are real,\u201d says Cunningham,\u00a0UC Foundation professor and a member of the graduate faculty in psychology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor us, we&#8217;re interested in trying to shine a light on the other end of the spectrum because, while it is true that there\u2019s a lot of burnout, there\u2019s a lot of people who don\u2019t. And the question is: Why not?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Results from the study, funded by more than $100,000 in money from Chattanooga\u2019s Yium Foundation, will focus more on techniques that are working in health care environments, instead of ones that aren\u2019t, says Panda, a practicing internist who has spent years promoting and studying resiliency and well-being in health care workers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32256\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"332\" height=\"450\" data-attachment-id=\"32256\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2020\/07\/psychology-project-provides-cognitive-stimulation-to-the-aging\/cunningham\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/07\/cunningham.png\" data-orig-size=\"332,450\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"cunningham\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/07\/cunningham.png\" class=\"wp-image-32256 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/07\/cunningham.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/07\/cunningham.png 332w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/07\/cunningham-221x300.png 221w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/07\/cunningham-148x200.png 148w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2020\/07\/cunningham-295x400.png 295w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris Cunningham<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of conversation about what is not right, and yet we see physicians and we see nurses and we see health care professionals who still seem to be connected to that meaning,\u201d she explains. \u201cThis particular study is more about the positive. What is it that allows us to keep that intrinsic motivation and overcome and bounce back?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Including everyone who works in the world of health care is critical to the study, she says, because creating a positive environment must include everyone who is part of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is about a health care team; it is about creating a work environment where there is psychological safety, where people feel they are valued, they\u2019re affirmed and they are important to the overall shared covenant of coordinated efficient patient care,\u201d Panda says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also want to create awareness that the attitude and role modeling and the attentiveness of every member of the team influences what the outcome of that team is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The study\u00a0will include both written surveys and personal interviews with employees at Erlanger Hospital, where Panda is affiliated. The surveys will include such questions as: \u201cHow do you derive a sense of meaning in your life more generally? What\u2019s your perspective when the going gets tough? How do you tend to perceive information?<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with employees also is a key element, Panda says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is definite value in the narrative and the stories, and I think that\u2019s where focused interviews come in,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, Cunningham says, the study\u2019s results will help not only people already in health care, but those coming into the field as well, such as first-year medical students and even undergraduates who plan to go into medicine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese folks are already developing patterns of poor self-care by the time they get to medical school,\u201d he explains. \u201cThey\u2019re so focused on their studies and becoming a doctor, but they\u2019re not doing a great job of managing their own health and their own well-being. The problem with that is that lifestyle choices become habits and routine really quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe think there\u2019s an opportunity here to learn from people who have done a really good job of keeping things balanced and managing the challenges of working in these environments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do those in health care avoid burnout, especially now?<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2020\/08\/how-to-maintain-motivation-and-a-sense-of-meaning-study-asks\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1105,"featured_media":32651,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,64,286,48007],"tags":[124549,99161,7296],"class_list":{"0":"post-32251","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-community","8":"category-news","9":"category-psychology","10":"category-research-academics","11":"tag-dr-chris-cunningham","12":"tag-dr-mukta-panda","13":"tag-erlanger-hospital","14":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
