Association Between Global Sleep Quality and Coronary Microvascular Function in Male Physicians With Occupational Burnout
OBJECTIVE: Occupational burnout has been associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, although the mechanisms involved are elusive. We investigated whether poor global sleep quality is associated with impaired coronary microvascular function in male physicians, a professional group at increased risk of burnout. METHODS: Study participants were 30 male physicians with clinical burnout and 30 controls without burnout defined by the …
Relationship between erectile dysfunction and alexithymia in male patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators
We did not find evidence for a relationship between externally oriented thinking and erectile dysfunction at low to average levels of preoccupation. However, evidence for such a relationship was found at high levels of preoccupation, where more externally oriented thinking was related to more erectile dysfunction. The intersection of alexithymia and erectile dysfunction represents a promising avenue for future research, offering opportunities to …
Effect of Early Psychological Counseling for the Prevention of Posttraumatic Stress Induced by Acute Coronary Syndrome at Long-Term Follow-Up
No benefits were found for trauma-focused counseling after 12 months when compared with an active control intervention. PTSD prevalence in the present study was low highlighting a potential beneficial effect of both interventions. Further studies are needed to determine the most accurate approach of counseling
Course, Moderators, and Predictors of Acute Coronary Syndrome-Induced Post-traumatic Stress
Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) induce post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in one out of eight patients. Effects of preventive interventions, the course and potential moderators of ACS-induced PTSS are vastly understudied. This study explored whether a preventive behavioral intervention leads to a decrease in myocardial infarction (MI)-induced PTSS between two follow-up assessments. Sociodemographic, clinical and psychological factors were addit…
Psychometric characteristics of the German adaptation of the Traumatic Experiences Checklist (TEC)
This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the German adaptation of the Traumatic Experiences Checklist (TEC), a comprehensive questionnaire for the assessment of adverse and potentially traumatic experiences in childhood and adult life. Participants were recruited from in- and outpatient units of 7 psychiatric services in Switzerland and Germany and from private practitioners of psychiatry and psychotherapy (N = 287). Participants were …
