Rushed, unhappy, and drained: an experience sampling study of relations between time pressure, perceived control, mood, and emotional exhaustion in a group of accountants.

Experience sampling methodology was used to examine how work demands translate into acute changes in affective response and thence into chronic response. Seven accountants reported their reactions 3 times a day for 4 weeks on pocket computers. Aggregated analysis showed that mood and emotional exhaustion fluctuated in parallel with time pressure over time. Disaggregated time-series analysis confirmed the direct impact of high-demand periods on the perception of control, time pressure, and mood and the indirect impact on emotional exhaustion. A curvilinear relationship between time pressure and emotional exhaustion was shown. The relationships between work demands and emotional exhaustion changed between high-demand periods and normal working periods. The results suggest that enhancing perceived control may alleviate the negative effects of time pressure.

Financial aspects of providing trauma care at the extremes of life.

BACKGROUND: Children and the elderly are more likely to be underinsured compared with the general population of trauma patients. We performed financial analysis on all trauma patients admitted during an 18-month period to a Level I adult and pediatric trauma center to evaluate the financial impact of providing trauma care for children and the elderly. METHODS: Patients were categorized by age: PEDI<17 years, GERI>64 years and MID = 17 to 64 years. Reimbursement ratio (RR = reimbursement/cost; RR>1 = profit, RR<1 = loss), length of stay (LOS), and Injury Severity Score (ISS) were calculated for each age group. RESULTS: RR for GERI (RR = 0.99) was significantly lower than for PEDI (RR = 1.15) and MID (RR = 1.16). There was no difference in ISS, but the LOS of GERI was greater than that of PEDI and MID (p<0.05). Cost per patient and LOS were less in PEDI versus MID and GERI (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Trauma care reimbursement for the elderly is inadequate, whereas pediatric trauma care costs less to deliver and is profitable to the trauma center.
