Research areas:
1. Antecendents, manifestion, and potential consequences of psychosocial stress among medical students, residents, physicians, and nurses.
One of the primary research areas of our team is to explore the challenges of reconciling work and family life. In particular, we have been focusing on the bio-psycho-social and cultural antecedents to role conflict among various professional groups including dual-career families of physicians. Another important research topic is to advance the psychometric assessment of burnout and the differential diagnostics of burnout and depression. A further research area is to explore the impact of organisational culture and working conditions on psychosocial stress and its consequences among hospital employees in 9 countries.
2. The epidemiology of chronic paediatric abdominal pain.
The aim of this research is to understand the pathogenesis, manifestation and course of chronic paediatric abdominal pain and other functional intestinal disorders.
