Although the prevalence of depression among medical interns substantially exceeds that general population, specific factors responsible are not well understood. Recent reports a moderating effect genetic polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) in serotonin transporter protein gene on likelihood life stress will precipitate may help to understand development mood symptoms interns.To identify psychological, demographic, and residency program associated with use internship as model study effects this...
Background For diagnostic purposes, the nine symptoms that compose DSM-5 criteria for major depressive disorder (MDD) are assumed to be interchangeable indicators of one underlying disorder, implying they should all have similar risk factors. The present study investigates this hypothesis, using a population cohort shifts from low elevated depression levels. Method We assessed MDD criterion (using Patient Health Questionnaire; PHQ-9) and seven factors (personal family history, sex, childhood...
<h3>Importance</h3> Depression is common among training physicians and may disproportionately affect women. The identification of modifiable risk factors key to reducing this disease burden its negative impact on patient care physician career attrition. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine the presence magnitude a sex difference in depressive symptoms work-family conflict physicians; if impacts physicians. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A prospective longitudinal cohort study medical...
While short and poor quality sleep among training physicians has long been recognized as problematic, the longitudinal relationships sleep, work hours, mood, performance are not well understood. Here, we prospectively characterize risk of depression medical errors based on preinternship disturbance, internship-related duration, duty hours. Survey data from 1215 nondepressed interns were collected at baseline, then 3 6 months into internship. We examined how internship hours affected months,...
<h3>Importance</h3> The COVID-19 pandemic has placed increased strain on health care workers and disrupted childcare schooling arrangements in unprecedented ways. As substantial gender inequalities existed medicine before the pandemic, physician mothers may be at particular risk for adverse professional psychological consequences. <h3>Objective</h3> To assess differences work-family factors mental among parents during pandemic. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This prospective cohort...
Abstract Most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of major depression (MD) have been conducted in samples European ancestry. Here we report a multi-ancestry GWAS MD, adding data from 21 cohorts with 88,316 MD cases and 902,757 controls to previously reported data. This analysis used range measures define included African (36% effective sample size), East Asian (26%) South (6%) ancestry Hispanic/Latin American participants (32%). The identified 53 significantly associated novel loci. For...
Improving our ability to accurately predict individual risk for depression would have profound public health benefits. While there has been growing interest in understanding the relation between measures of positive emotion, such as well-being, and depression, it is not clear whether low well-being an independent predictor short term risk. We assessed a factor depressive symptoms. Medical internship well-established period stress when levels symptoms increase dramatically. 1621 individuals...
<h3>Importance</h3>In 2003, the first phase of duty hour requirements for US residency programs recommended by Accreditation Council Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) was implemented. Evidence suggests that this resulted in a modest improvement resident well-being and patient safety. To build on these initial changes, ACGME new set took effect July 2011.<h3>Objective</h3>To determine effects 2011 reforms first-year residents (interns) their patients.<h3>Design</h3>As part Intern Health...
In the United States, approximately 1 physician dies by suicide every day. Training physicians are at particularly high risk, with suicidal ideation increasing more than 4-fold during first 3 months of internship year. Despite this increase, to our knowledge, very few efforts have been made prevent escalation thoughts among training physicians.To assess effectiveness a web-based cognitive behavioral therapy (wCBT) program delivered prior start year in prevention medical interns.A randomized...
