Abstract
Individuals who perform disaster mental health services face a variety of stresses, including workloads, time pressures, role conflicts and ambiguities, and uncertain environments. They are also exposed to the pain of the victim and are required to maintain emotional empathy. These demands placed on disaster mental health workers increase the risk of burnout. Burnout is developed within the work context and characterized by three dimensions; emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and low personal accomplishment. According to Job demands-resources model, organization should manage work demands and support organization resources for disaster mental health workers. Given the nature of disaster-related work, efficient organizational structure, well-defined roles, supportive organizational culture, and education are important factors in preventing burnout.
