Burnout is a state of workers of helping professions that results from a situation of work stress and is characterised by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal accomplishment. Burnout levels were measured in three nursing staffs: two of them working in intensive care units and one in a surgical department. The results show significant statistical differences between the two staffs of intensive care units. Such differences seem to be connected with the psychological climate evaluated in the units.

Fears of a future shortage of experienced social workers in the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) field because of burnout prompted this study of 128 hospital social workers who work with AIDS patients. Results show that hospital AIDS social workers had slightly higher rates of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization on the Maslach Burnout Inventory but also felt a substantially higher level of personal accomplishment. Age, autonomy, and belonging to a support group explained 19 percent of the variance in burnout. Hospital administrators are urged to examine their administrative policies concerning these factors and to explore ways to preserve and enhance the most satisfying aspects of the work. Further research is encouraged to explore the relationship between young age and burnout and to better understand the factors that make AIDS work satisfying.

This study was undertaken as an attempt to determine the relationship between individual coping (in response to stressful work events) and concomitant symptoms of burnout and the relationship between coping and burnout as moderated by secondary cognitive appraisal. Professional mental health workers (N = 234) employed by a state psychiatric facility completed the Ways of Coping Checklist (revised) (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984) and a measure of secondary appraisal, after reporting a typical stressful work event. They also completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Maslach & Jackson, 1986) and a demographic questionnaire. Results suggested that individual coping was related to burnout. Escape-avoidance was the primary coping strategy related to all three symptoms of burnout: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and lack of personal accomplishment. Secondary appraisal did not moderate the relation of coping and burnout.

The occurrence and distribution of the three dimensions of the burnout syndrome (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and lowered feelings of personal accomplishment) were studied among infectious diseases physicians. A written survey was mailed to the entire identified US population of infectious diseases physicians (n = 4328); a 46.3% response rate provided 1840 usable surveys. Statistical analyses of the data demonstrated that 43.5% of the physician sample reported high scores on emotional exhaustion, and 40.3% scored high on depersonalization. Personal accomplishment scores remained high, despite burnout levels, with 91.8% reporting high personal accomplishment. The highest percentage of burnout occurred among physicians in private practice settings (55%), followed by government settings (39%), and academia (37%). The high percentage of infectious diseases physicians experiencing burnout suggests the need for further research to establish trends, to determine if other types of physicians experience similar levels of burnout, to identify casual factors, and to develop avenues to reduce stress and facilitate coping.

To identify and evaluate recent working conditions and job content of hospital nurses in Japan, as well as the prevalence of the burnout phenomenon and the occupational risk factors responsible for it, a questionnaire survey was carried out. The subjects consisted of 898 nurses and 255 municipal service workers as the control group. Working conditions and workload burdens were more severe among nurses than among the municipal workers. The burnout phenomenon among the nurses was characterized by emotional exhaustion as well as depersonalization. Moreover, the rate ratio and multivariate analyses indicated that a great variety of occupational factors, not only interpersonal relationships, but the general working conditions and specific physical or mental workloads influenced the burnout phenomenon as well. Therefore, in examining measures dealing with the burnout phenomenon among nurses, it is considered important to evaluate the occupational factors systematically and comprehensively.

South Australian general practitioners (n = 966) provided information in a questionnaire study about four indicators of job stress: the burnout components of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment, and a three-item measure of job dissatisfaction. As job stress can arise from discrepancies between the nature of the work and the expectations of the worker, attitudes to general practice form and content were surveyed, using an existing Australian scale. This study largely replicated the factor structure originally reported for the scale. Up to one third of respondents reported significant levels of job stress, which varied according to age and sex as well as attitudes to general practice.

This study was an examination of the combined ability of perceived work environment, demographic, and work-related variables to predict burnout among 314 nurses at a large metropolitan hospital. The three dimensions of burnout measured were emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. High work pressure and low work involvement and supervisor support predicted emotional exhaustion. Task orientation, work pressure, work involvement, and age predicted both depersonalization and personal accomplishment. Burnout among nurses on each of the three work shifts also was examined. Results are discussed from the perspective of how to decrease or to prevent burnout among nurses.

Forty-nine nurses working in neonatal intensive care were surveyed by using measures of job stress, burnout, anxiety, and perceived social support. On the Maslach Burnout Inventory, they scored in a moderate range of burnout for emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and in a high range of burnout for sense of personal accomplishment. Stepwise regression analyses revealed that higher job stress scores, higher anxiety scores, perception of less supervisor (head nurse) support, and less experience were associated with higher burnout subscale scores.

Burnout is a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment that can occur among individuals who do "people work" of some kind. Health care providers, including dentists, are at high risk for burnout because their occupations often require intense interactions between themselves and fearful, demanding patients on a daily basis. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of burnout among military dentists practicing at a large installation using a standardized measurement device, the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Results indicate that the military dentists surveyed experience low to moderate levels of burnout. The military dentists sampled, in general, scored lower for burnout when compared to the norms of society and medicine.

The present study was undertaken to compare the occupational stress, levels of burnout, death anxiety, and the social support of a national sample of 376 hospice and critical care nurses. t tests indicated that critical care nurses reported significantly more occupational stress, showed higher burnout, and experienced more death anxiety than hospice nurses. The two nursing groups differed significantly when the three components of the Maslach Burnout Inventory were compared: hospice nurses reported feeling less emotional exhaustion, utilized the technique of depersonalization less frequently, and experienced a greater sense of personal accomplishment. The two nursing groups did not differ in social support when both the quantity and quality of that construct were examined. Pearson coefficients indicated positive associations between burnout and occupational stress and between burnout and death anxiety, with a negative relationship between burnout and social support.
