Although surgery is not the only choice, lobectomy is still the gold standard treatment type for operable patients. For inoperable patients stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) should be offered, reaching very high local control and overall survival rates. With SBRT we can precisely irradiate small, well-defined lesions with high doses. To select the appropriate fractionation schedule it is important to determine the size, localization and extent of the lung tumor. The introduction of novel and further developed planning (contouring guidelines, diagnostic image application, planning systems) and delivery techniques (motion management, image guided radiotherapy) led to lower rates of side effects and more conformal target volume coverage. The purpose of this study is to summarize the current developments, randomised studies, guidelines about lung SBRT, with emphasis on the possibility of increasing local control and overall rates in “fit,” operable patients as well, so SBRT would be eligible in place of surgery.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1532-2807}, orcid-numbers = {Papp, Judit/0000-0001-6066-6187; Sipos, Dávid/0000-0001-9615-1740} } @article{MTMT:34492606, title = {Occupational Stress Levels among Radiologists and Radiographers in Hungary during the COVID-19 Era}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34492606}, author = {Sipos, Dávid and Kövesdi, Orsolya Liza and Raposa, Bence and Ferkai, Luca Anna and Deutsch, Krisztina and Pandur, Attila and Kovács, Árpád and Petőné Csima, Melinda}, doi = {10.3390/healthcare12020160}, journal-iso = {HEALTHCARE-BASEL}, journal = {HEALTHCARE}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {34492606}, keywords = {radiologist; OCCUPATIONAL STRESS; effort-reward imbalance; radiographer; COVID-19}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2227-9032}, orcid-numbers = {Sipos, Dávid/0000-0001-9615-1740; Kövesdi, Orsolya Liza/0009-0006-2992-6503; Raposa, Bence/0000-0001-9551-8440; Ferkai, Luca Anna/0000-0003-4976-1516; Kovács, Árpád/0000-0002-8469-5764} } @article{MTMT:34478121, title = {Sleep Quality and Perceived Stress among Health Science Students during Online Education—A Single Institution Study}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34478121}, author = {Busa, Flóra and Petőné Csima, Melinda and Törzsökné Márton, Johanna Andrea and Rozmann, Nóra and Pandur, Attila and Ferkai, Luca Anna and Deutsch, Krisztina and Kovács, Árpád and Sipos, Dávid}, doi = {10.3390/healthcare12010075}, journal-iso = {HEALTHCARE-BASEL}, journal = {HEALTHCARE}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {34478121}, abstract = {Recently, online education has been gaining prominence in university life. Our survey aimed to examine sleep quality and perceived stress levels among students at the University of Pécs Faculty of Health Sciences. A cross-sectional, quantitative, descriptive survey was conducted between February and March 2023. The online survey included the Hungarian versions of the internationally validated Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Statistical analysis involved descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests (p < 0.05). We analyzed 304 responses, and females dominated (n = 270; 88.8%). Students in a relationship had significantly higher AIS scores (t = −2.470; p = 0.014). Medium average (2.50–3.49) students and those who rarely/never exercise showed significantly higher AIS and PSS (p ≤ 0.05). Students on the phone/watching a series during online education, daily laptop/TV use for more than 2 h, and pre-sleep use of smart devices for more than 60 min also negatively affected AIS and PSS scores (p ≤ 0.05). Nursing, physiotherapy, and radiography students were the most affected regarding insomnia and perceived stress (p ≤ 0.05).

The aim of our study was to investigate burnout and occupational stress in radiographers working in emergency departments (ED) and non-emergency departments (NED). Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive research was carried out among radiographers working in the public health sector in Hungary. Due to the cross-sectional nature of our survey, there was no overlap between the ED and NED groups. For data collection, we used simultaneously the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Effort-Reward Imbalance questionnaire (ERI), and our self-designed questionnaire. Results: We excluded incomplete questionnaires from our survey; finally, 439 responses were evaluated. Significantly higher scores for depersonalisation (DP; 8.43 (SD = 6.69) vs. 5.63 (SD = 4.21) and emotional exhaustion (EE; 25.07 (SD = 11.41) vs. 19.72 (SD = 11.72)) were observed in radiographers working in ED (p = 0.001; p = 0.001) when compared to NED. Male radiographers working in ED aged 20–29 and 30–39 years with experience of 1–9 years were more affected by DP (p ≤ 0.05). Worrying about one's own health had a negative effect on DP and EE (p ≤ 0.05). Having close friend with a COVID-19 infection had a negative effect on EE (p ≤ 0.05); not being infected with coronavirus, not being quarantined and relocating within the workplace had a positive effect on personal accomplishment (PA); radiographers who were 50 years or older with 20–29 years of experience were more affected by depersonalisation (DP); and those who worried about their health had significantly higher stress scores (p ≤ 0.05) in both ED and NED settings. Conclusion: Male radiographers at the beginning of their careers were more affected by burnout. Employment in EDs had a negative impact on DP and EE. Implications for practice: Our results support the implementation of interventions to counter the effects of occupational stress and burnout among radiographers working in ED.}, keywords = {STRESS; emergency; mental health; burnout; CORONAVIRUS; MBI; radiographer}, year = {2023}, pages = {466-472}, orcid-numbers = {Sipos, Dávid/0000-0001-9615-1740; Kövesdi, Orsolya Liza/0009-0006-2992-6503; Tollár, József/0000-0001-7607-6739; Kovács, Árpád/0000-0002-8469-5764} } @article{MTMT:33646069, title = {Burnout among oncologists, nurses, and radiographers working in oncology patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33646069}, author = {Sipos, Dávid and O., Kunstár and Kovács, Árpád and Petőné Csima, Melinda}, doi = {10.1016/j.radi.2023.02.008}, journal-iso = {RADIOGRAPHY}, journal = {RADIOGRAPHY}, volume = {29}, unique-id = {33646069}, issn = {1078-8174}, abstract = {Introduction: Oncology care professionals are exposed to high levels of stress that can lead to burnout. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of burnout among nurses, oncologists and radiographers working in oncology patient care during the COVID -19 pandemic. Methods: Our electronic questionnaire was sent to e-mail contacts registered in the system of the Hungarian Society of Oncologists and to all oncology staff via an internal information system in each cancer center. Burnout was measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, which measures depersonalization (DP), emotional exhaustion (EE), and personal accomplishment (PA). Demographic and work-related characteristics were collected in our self-designed questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, two-sample t-tests, analyzes of variance, Mann–Whitney and Kruskal–Wallis tests were performed. Results: A total of 205 oncology care workers' responses were analyzed. Oncologists (n = 75) were found to be significantly more committed to DP and EE (p = 0.001; p = 0.001). Working more than 50 h per week and being on-call had a negative effect on the EE dimension (p = 0.001; p = 0.003). Coming up with the idea of working abroad had a negative effect on all three dimensions of burnout (p ≤ 0.05). Respondents who did not leave their job due to their current life situation had significantly higher DE, EE, and lower PA (p ≤ 0.05). Intention to leave current profession was specific in (n = 24/78; 30.8%) of nurses (p = 0.012). Conclusion: Our results suggest that male gender, being an oncologist, working more than 50 h per week and taking on call duties have a negative impact on individual burnout. Future measures to prevent burnout should be integrated into the professionals' work environment, regardless of the impact of the current pandemic. Implications for practice: Prevention and oncopsychological training should be developed gradually at the organisational or personal level to avoid early burnout of professionals.}, year = {2023}, pages = {503-508}, orcid-numbers = {Sipos, Dávid/0000-0001-9615-1740; Kovács, Árpád/0000-0002-8469-5764} } @misc{MTMT:33577005, title = {Importance of daily CT imaging in brachytherapy of cervical tumor patients}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33577005}, author = {Papp, Judit}, unique-id = {33577005}, abstract = {Poster (digital) ESTRO 2023 12 May 2023 - 16 May 2023 Vienna, Austria}, year = {2023}, orcid-numbers = {Papp, Judit/0000-0001-6066-6187} } @article{MTMT:34580246, title = {Agyi sztereotaxiás sugárkezelés előkészítésének asszisztensi teendői a CT-szimulátorban}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34580246}, author = {Marsalik, Bernadett and Remenyikné, Berecz Erzsébet and Matisz-Papp, Dóra and Papp, Judit and Simon, Mihály and Kovács, Árpád}, journal-iso = {MAGYAR ONKOLÓGIA}, journal = {MAGYAR ONKOLÓGIA}, volume = {88}, unique-id = {34580246}, issn = {0025-0244}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2060-0399}, pages = {85}, orcid-numbers = {Papp, Judit/0000-0001-6066-6187; Kovács, Árpád/0000-0002-8469-5764} }
