Occupational burnout affecting healthcare workers’ mental, emotional, and physical well-being, is continuously growing among primary and secondary healthcare professionals and its prevalence and harmful effects in the healthcare workforce have been worsened, after the COVID-19 pandemic. An ongoing question relates to how burnout affects doctors’ and nurses’ health and well being and the quality of care they deliver to patients. In the context of MERR project,#SYSTSERVcoordinates activities towards developing the means and resources to assess the levels of stress and burnout amongst healthcare professionals (including medical students), and to provide them with training (innovative and joint curricula), including new techniques, practices and knowledge, to manage intense stress and improve their mental resilience. The levels of stress and burnout of healthcare professionals (doctors/ nurses) will be classified, categorized and evaluated based on the receipt of data from wearable devices in real working conditions through the monitoring solutions. Synchronous and asynchronous adapted training of the target group will be supported on new techniques and strategies for self-management of stressful situations as well as good practices for managing intense stress in daily work situations. It is crucial to address burnout and promote a healthy work environment, ensuring high-quality patient care focusing on developing effective interventions and their implementation and sustainability. There are several solutions developed, however no single intervention would be sufficient to deal with burnout. Hence, a multi-pronged and hybrid training approach involving self-monitoring and consultation expects to be most effective in managing this condition.#mental_resilience,#burnout,#healthcare
