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.

“The wounded healer” challenging the

stigma attached to mental health

conditions in medical students and

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.
