Introduction The “Burn-out” syndrome is a kind of labour stress
produced in professions that require constant and direct rela-
tionship with other people. Health professionals, and particularly
especial-care services such as Oncology, live under stressful labour
conditions linked to the great responsability that goes with their
job. The emotional attachment with the patient, which may be
in grave conditions and could even die, or a professional care
which may not bring about improvement for the patient, rep-
resent a source of burn-out for many professionals resulting in
psychopathological symptomatology.
Objective If we know the triggers and sources of burnout, we
can find several coping strategies that facilitate the management
of stress in health professionals.
Method Managing stress entails being aware and handling the
various factors that intervene in the relationship of the professional
with people and the social and labour environments.
Results The control of the patient, professional and contextual
factors is of paramount importance in order to avoid the direct
consequences of the burn-out of health professionals and health
institutions themselves. This control over the factors which trig-
ger off the burn-out will provide the preventive aspect that an
advanced society pursues for the improvement of health and qual-
ity of life.
Conclusions The burn-out is an inappropriate confrontation or a
failure of the adjustment responses to the demands that exceed
the capacity of the individual. This syndrome give rises to negative
attitudes towards work, life and people.

Introduction Stigma towards people diagnosed with a mental
disorder is a phenomenon that has been observed in different con-
texts (labor, health, social, media), affecting therefore to different
walks of life of the person who has it. One area where greater neg-
ative impact exerted by the stigma and discrimination associated
is in health care.

Scale for Health Care Providers, developed by the Mental Health
Commission of Canada. Score from 0 to 80. Higher scores indicate

stigma attached to mental health

doctors

Despite the perception that medical students and doctors should
be “invincible”, mental illness is over-represented in this group.
Fear of exposure to stigma is a major barrier to accessing the
health services and many people with mental illness continue to
suffer in silence despite the availability of effective treatment. In
2014, we conceived the contact-based, anti-stigma intervention,
“The Wounded Healer” (TWH) which has been described as an
innovative method of pedagogy that blends science with art. The
main aims of TWH are to engage, enthuse, enthral and to edu-
cate in order to challenge mental health stigma, debunk myths and
encourage help-seeking. Hitherto, TWH has been delivered tomore
than 10,000 people in 15 medical schools throughout the UK and
worldwide in USA, Canada, Colombia, Portugal, Italy, Slovenia and
Lebanon. TWH has been integrated into the curricula of several UK
medical schools and filmmakers from the London College of Com-
munication have successfully secured funding to commission the
production of TWH film. The written feedback received from audi-
ences (which has been published in peer-review journals and book
chapters) is that TWH is inspirational and the best performance
they have ever experienced. Moreover, TWH was delivered in the
2015 iMed 7.0 Congress in Lisbon, Portugal (the largest medical
student congress in Europe, n = 1000) alongside a Noble Laureate
and students report that it inspired them to consider a career in
psychiatry. AH is the only early-career psychiatrist to have been
shortlisted for the 2015 RCPsych Communicator of the Year Award
in recognition of TWH.
