Cochrane - Colección Especial - apoyo para el bienestar de los trabajadores sanitarios
Chronic exposure to stress has been linked to several negative physiological and psychological health outcomes. Among employees, stress and its associated effects can also result in productivity losses and higher healthcare costs. In‐person (face‐to‐face) and computer‐based (web‐ and mobile‐based) stress management interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing stress in employees compared to no intervention.

However some of the studies were at high risk of bias, and there was evidence of substantial statistical heterogeneity. Treatment effectiveness in younger people is ...

Existing research on ways to help them adhere to their treatment regimen and self-manage their condition might lower these risks. In this Cochrane review, the authors searched for randomised trials of lay-led and peer support interventions for adolescents with asthma. They did not restrict their searches by date or language of publication and did the search in November 2016. They included five studies ...

The COVID-19 pandemic is placing a great strain on health systems and healthcare workers. One way to ease this may be to use task shifting to move the care of some patient groups from more to less specialised healthcare workers.
In this systematic review, the authors searched for studies that reported program costs from a task shifted model for conducting the activity or service compared to a model that did not involve task shifting and were done in low- or middle-income countries. They ...
