Among the 17 studies in Burnout, Psychological with a site in Sweden, from their registry updates:
Digital healthcare has developed rapidly to meet demands for accessible healthcare, streamline care and meet future challenges with increasing healthcare needs and reduced labour force in Sweden. Developers and stakeholders in Sweden want to exchange the praxis of phone triage to digital or semi-digital triaging tools, to relieve staff's workload and utilize better resource use that would benefit all patient groups. However, previous studies have showed demographic differences in utilization rate and an increase of simpler care matters when digital healthcare options are offered. Also, little is known of medical accuracy of digital triage tools and of the work environment in digital healthcare. More research is needed on this, as well as on care consumption, care quality and of patients' experiences of digital healthcare. The overall aim of the research project is to study a new digital healthcare platform being introduced in 2021/2022 in the County of Gävleborg, Sweden. The studies will focus on care quality and patient safety as well as explore the digital work environment and staff well-being in the digital healthcare platform. Data will be collected before and after the introduction of the digital healthcare platform, using register data and questionnaires. The data from the two time periods will be analyzed with descriptive and inference statistics, to explore if the digital healthcare platform has brought differences on group levels in staff estimates of care quality and patient safety as well as in work environment aspects such as the staffs' well-being.
The study population will be recruited from both public and private healthcare units (amendment of ethical approval number 2021-04696).The study population will consist of professions such as nurses, physicians, physiotherapists and psychologists and will be recruited from in-patient and out-patient care units. 1000-2000 persons will be offered paticipation in each time period.

Exclusion Criteria:
Staff working most of their time (20% or more) with the digital healthcare platform.
Other: Digital healthcare platform
Staff working traditionally, using the digital healthcare platform to a very little extent.
In this specific digital healthcare platform, patients can enter symptoms and get an initial digital triage by artificial intelligence (AI). After the artificial intelligence (AI) has assessed the symptoms, the patient can be triaged to digital healthcare advices, or a chat with a healthcare professional. If needed, the healthcare professional can convert the chat to a telephone or video assessment, or book the patient to a healthcare specialist. The platform can also administer planned consultations with patients or between professionals, it can be used as a tool for the patient to book healthcare appointments, get diagnostics and assessments done, and receive treatment through.
Staff-reported work environment in digital healthcare compared to traditional healthcare work.
Questions on work environment will be asked through a survey. The survey contains questions from the following questionnaires: Safety, Communication, Operational Reliability, and Engagement (SCORE) Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) Surveys on Patient Safety Culture™ Hospital Survey (SOPS®) and Staff Satisfaction with Care (SSC). SCORE: Values between 1-5. Higher scores mean a better outcome in factors on patient safety, working climate and personal growth, with some items reversed. Higher scores mean a worse outcome in factors on workload, burnout and stress. COPSOQ: Values between 1-5. Higher scores mean a better outcome in factors on stress and emotional demands, but a worse outcome in factors on workplace community and involvement, with one item reversed. SOPS Hospital Survey: Values between 1-5. Higher scores mean a worse outcome. SSC: Values between 1-7. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline measure during January - April 2022.
