Solms, L. (author), van Vianen, A.E.M. (author), Koen, J. (author), Kan, K.J. (author), de Hoog, M. (author), de Pagter, A.P.J. (author)BACKGROUND: Physicians increasingly show symptoms of burnout due to the high job demands they face, posing a risk for the quality and safety of care. Job and personal resources as well as support interventions may function as protective factors when demands are high, specifically in times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the Job...article 2023

Landman, A. (author), Kalogeras, D. (author), Houben, M. (author), Groen, E. (author)Background: Previous research has shown that experiencing motion stimuli negatively impacts cognitive performance. Objective: In the current study, we investigate whether this impact relates to Type-II spatial disorientation (SD), to motion stimulus magnitude, or to an interaction of these factors. Method: Stimuli for participants (n = 23)...article 2022
