Burnout adversely affects healthcare researchers, their place of employment, and the production of valuable research. It is directly associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety. Having an easily employed and reliable measure of depression and anxiety in healthcare researchers is important if burnout is to be diminished. Doodling may be one such measure. Doodling became a possible indicator based on unexpected outcomes associated with one diverse and voluntary health narrative research group where doodling was introduced. The result, with respect to casual, self-reported levels of depression and anxiety, ranged from researchers expressing low levels of distress to those revealing clinical diagnoses of depression and anxiety. Changes to doodling execution and content, and their effect on the doodler-metrics previously unmentioned in the literature-hold promise for evaluating depression and anxiety levels of researchers. Maligned in academic settings with increasingly punitive outcomes, doodling should be reassessed as a possible indicator of internal states of distress, dysphoria, depression, and anxiety based on this University of Toronto Health Narratives Research Group result of doodling. Under certain well-defined conditions, variations in doodling may serve as a measure of change in these internal states and, therefore, act as an aid in reducing burnout.
burnout 对医疗保健研究人员、他们的工作场所和有价值的研究成果产生不利影响。它与抑郁和焦虑的症状直接相关。如果要减少 burnout，那么在医疗保健研究人员中使用一种易于采用且可靠的抑郁和焦虑衡量标准就很重要。涂鸦可能就是这样一种衡量标准。涂鸦之所以成为一种可能的指标，是基于一个多样化和自愿的健康叙事研究小组的意外结果，该小组引入了涂鸦。结果表明，在偶然的、自我报告的抑郁和焦虑水平方面，研究人员的焦虑程度从低到中度不等，有些研究人员表现出抑郁和焦虑的临床诊断。涂鸦的执行和内容的变化，以及它们对以前文献中未提及的涂鸦指标的影响，为评估研究人员的抑郁和焦虑水平提供了希望。涂鸦在学术环境中受到越来越严厉的惩罚，根据多伦多大学健康叙事研究小组的这一结果，应该重新评估涂鸦作为内在痛苦、不适、抑郁和焦虑的内在状态的一个可能指标。在某些明确定义的条件下，涂鸦的变化可以作为这些内在状态变化的衡量标准，因此可以作为减少 burnout 的辅助手段。
