Relationships between emotional labor, job burnout, and emotional intelligence: an analysis combining meta-analysis and structural equation modeling

AbstractThe present study adopted a meta-analysis design that incorporated structural equation modeling to explore the relationships between emotional labor (EL), job burnout (JB), and emotional intelligence (EI), and enable model validation. The results revealed that EL and JB were significantly and positively correlated, that EI was significantly and positively correlated with EL, and that EI was significantly and negatively correlated with JB. The SEM parameter estimation values were all positive, reaching the level of significance and meeting the basic fit criteria. The total effect size of EL on JB was 0.289, which was equal to the sum of the direct and indirect effect sizes (0.371–0.082). This result indicated that EL affected JB through EI, validating the presence of a moderating effect. Finally, the results were discussed, and practical suggestions were proposed.

Evaluation of Malpractice Fear, Burnout, and Spiritual Well-Being among Physicians in Turkey: A Descriptive Study.

This descriptive study was conducted with 406 physicians to evaluate fear of malpractice, burnout and spiritual well-being among physicians in Turkey. In our study, 81.5%, 11.6% and 6.9% of physicians experienced high, medium and low levels of fear of malpractice, emotional burnout, depersonalisation and personal accomplishment, respectively. However, physicians reported high levels of spiritual well-being and harmony with nature, moderate levels of transcendence and anomie. As spiritual well-being and transcendence increased, emotional burnout and depersonalisation decreased and personal accomplishment increased. In addition, as harmony with nature increased, depersonalisation decreased and personal accomplishment increased, and as anomie increased, emotional burnout and depersonalisation increased.

The results of the assessment of burnout syndrome in outpatient clinic staff for the development of personalized rehabilitation

In conditions of increased workload on the medical staff of outpatient clinics, the need to preserve their physical and mental health, reduce the socially significant consequences of emotional burnout comes first, which makes it necessary to search for new directions of prevention, correction and rehabilitation using personalized medicine methods. The study aims to assess the state of health and the syndrome of emotional burnout in medical workers of the outpatient clinic. Specialists have examined 100 medical workers of outpatient and inpatient departments of the medical institution in equal numbers. The average age of outpatient medical staff was 49 [46;59] years, and inpatient — 43 [33;53] years. The average work experience of the examined medical personnel was the same both in outpatient settings (20 [16;28] years) and in hospital (20 [13;31] years). The authors have performed general clinical, laboratory and instrumental examinations. In addition to the standard examination scheme, the scientists assessed emotional burnout using the V.V. Boyko method and the quality of life according to the EQ-5D questionnaire in modification 3L and the hospital anxiety and depression scale HADS, and also conducted a questionnaire on a new coronavirus infection and the detection of post-COVID syndrome. As a result of the study, the authors proved a decrease in the psychological and physical components of the quality of life of medical workers, which are associated with both work experience and a new coronavirus infection. It was confirmed that according to the results of the Boyko questionnaire, employees of the outpatient clinic, compared with their colleagues from the hospital, often have a higher unfavorable total score. According to the results of the survey, we observe an improvement in the psychological and physical components of the quality of life of medical personnel after individual rehabilitation. This study showed the importance of assessing the state of health and emotional burnout syndrome in medical workers, high scores were revealed according to the Boyko questionnaire. Limitations. This study is limited to a sex-and-age sample of medical staff at a medical institution. Ethics. The study was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration "Recommendations for Doctors on Biomedical research in Humans" (2013), the World Association "Ethical Principles of Scientific Medical Research with Human Participation" as amended in 2000 and the "Rules of Clinical Practice in the Russian Federation", approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation No. 266 dated 06/19/2003, according to the developed protocol.

Attitude of adoptive and biological parents to tactile interaction with children

Introduction. The problem of children's adaptation to foster families remains relevant for many years all over the world. However, there is now evidence that humans have two tactile systems, one of which is social and is activated by slow, gentle touch. The idea arose that adoptive parents could be taught such touches using the example of a special massage. But for this you need to know the attitude of parents towards touch in principle. That is why the purpose of this study was to study parents’ attitudes towards tactile interaction with children. Methodology. 277 foster and biological parents (M=39.9; SD=7.6) completed a survey using Google Forms that included 48 statements scored on a psychometric Likert scale. The work used theoretical (analysis, comparison and synthesis), empirical (survey) and statistical (correlation, regression and factor analysis using the SPSS 21 software package) research methods. Results and discussion. Significant inconsistency was found regarding physical sanctions among all groups of respondents. Thus, by unanimously declaring a negative attitude towards punishing the children of other children, respondents allow this to happen to themselves (Ro=-0.603, p<0.001), which affects the personal impact of the child’s development (Ro=-0.508, p<0.001). All mothers reported detecting excessive tactile contact with the child (Ro=0.544, p<0.001). The 4-factor model shows an ambiguous attitude of respondents towards gentle, tactile interaction with both their children and parents in their own childhood (KMO=0.792; p<0.000; 63.1%). Signs of emotional burnout are observed in all parents, but are especially pronounced in adopted ones (p=0.007; R2 =0.056; DW=1.633; r=0.236). Conclusion. Before inviting parents to try massage based on gentle tactile interactions with children, it is necessary to provide training in methods of rewarding and punishing children within the family without violence. A burnout prevention program is needed for all parents.

Communicative Skills in Medical Students

Positive interaction between the doctor and the patient affects the treatment outcome, as well as the level of satisfaction with healthcare services. Many young doctors experience communicative issues that can lead to negative consequences for all stakeholders. The research featured various problems in shaping communicative skills in medical students. It involved a review of scientific publications, a survey of first-year medical students (n = 20), and an analysis of 40 negative feedbacks from patients. The communicative issues included: lack of eye contact / active listening, misleading mimics, inappropriate intonation / voice volume, violation of private space, insufficient or excessive amount of information, lack of bedside manners / respect for patients. The list of communication skills to be mastered by medical students in order to improve the quality of medical care included: eye contact, self-presentation, active listening, conflict management, strategies of delivering bad news, and conclusion phrases. The data obtained make it possible to identify key aspects that affect the formation of communicative skills in future doctors, as well as to propose methods for its improvement at university level. The authors emphasize the importance of developing communicative skills in future doctors to provide high-quality medical care and prevent emotional burnout in young professionals.

Эмоциональное выгорание и поведение в конфликте специалистов органов опеки и попечительства

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US">The article is prepared on the basis of the results of the final qualifying work and is devoted to the study of the relationship between emotional burnout and behavior in conflict among specialists of guardianship and guardianship authorities in relation to minors (hereinafter — OIP). The participants of the empirical study were 78 employees of the Department of Guardianship and Guardianship of the Department of Education of the Omsk City Administration, aged 22 to 65 years (the average age in the test sample is 40.10 ± 9.69 years). The average work experience of the subjects was 12.18 ± 5.41 years. The study was conducted using psychodiagnostic tools: the Thomas-Killman Questionnaire for Identifying Leading Behavior in a conflict situation, the Questionnaire for Professional (Emotional) Burnout (K. Maslach). It is shown that the statistical dependence of the features of emotional burnout with patterns of behavior in conflict is insignificant. The stage of emotional burnout — “emotional exhaustion” significantly correlates with the scale of behavior in conflict “compromise”. For the other two scales characterizing the stages of emotional burnout, there were no significant correlations with the characteristics of behavior in conflict situations.</span></p>

HOW DOES TEACHER EMOTIONAL BURNOUT SYNDROME AFFECT TEACHERS’ DEVELOPMENT?

In this article, we explore the phenomenon of teacher emotional burnout syndrome (EBS), a critical issue affecting educators worldwide. EBS arises due to prolonged stress, high emotional demands, and inadequate support in the teaching environment, leading to mental, emotional, and physical exhaustion. The study examines the underlying causes of EBS, including excessive workload, lack of autonomy, and insufficient resources, which contribute to feelings of frustration and helplessness among teachers. Key symptoms of emotional burnout, such as chronic fatigue, irritability, emotional detachment, and reduced personal accomplishment, are identified as warning signs that need immediate attention. Additionally, the article emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention, providing a comprehensive overview of preventive measures. These include strategies like promoting work-life balance, encouraging peer support networks, implementing mindfulness techniques, and offering professional development on stress management. Practical recommendations for educational institutions, such as reducing administrative burdens and fostering a supportive workplace culture, are also discussed to create a healthier teaching environment. By addressing both the personal and organizational factors contributing to emotional burnout, this article aims to enhance teachers' well-being and protect them from the long-term impacts of EBS.

Professional satisfaction of practitioners in psychiatry departments

The study was conducted to determine the indicators of job satisfaction of doctors working in psychiatry departments, to analyse the professional satisfaction of Polish, European and world psychiatrists and to identify ways to improve it. The study identified factors that influence the professional satisfaction of psychiatrists, compared it among psychiatrists in Poland, Europe, and the world, and developed a number of methods to improve this indicator. The results of the study showed that the level of professional satisfaction of psychiatric doctors is influenced by the following factors: salary level, working conditions, team relations, resource support of the work process, stress level, level of emotional burnout, sense of recognition and importance of their own work, work-life balance, and the degree of stigmatization of mental disorders in society. In terms of the number of practising psychiatrists in the country, the availability of psychiatric services and the level of the average annual salary of psychiatrists in Poland, Europe, and the world, the highest rates of professional satisfaction are recorded in the Scandinavian countries and Austria. Poland and Eastern European countries have lower scores, but the gradual increase in funding for psychiatry in Poland is leading to a positive upward trend. Ways in which this increase can be achieved include: increasing the staff of psychiatric units and optimizing administrative work to reduce workload, using cooperation and mentoring programmes to achieve a comfortable team environment, encouraging specialists to participate in training and mentoring programmes to enhance their professional development.

Biometrically measured sleep in medical students as a predictor of psychological health and academic experiences in the preclinical years

ABSTRACT Background Student wellness is of increasing concern in medical education. Increased rates of burnout, sleep disturbances, and psychological concerns in medical students are well documented. These concerns lead to impacts on current educational goals and may set students on a path for long-term health consequences. Methods Undergraduate medical students were recruited to participate in a novel longitudinal wellness tracking project. This project utilized validated wellness surveys to assess emotional health, sleep health, and burnout at multiple timepoints. Biometric information was collected from participant Fitbit devices that tracked longitudinal sleep patterns. Results Eighty-one students from three cohorts were assessed during the first semester of their M1 preclinical curriculum. Biometric data showed that nearly 30% of the students had frequent short sleep episodes (<6 hours of sleep for at least 30% of recorded days), and nearly 68% of students had at least one episode of three or more consecutive days of short sleep. Students that had consecutive short sleep episodes had higher rates of stress (8.3%) and depression (5.4%) symptoms and decreased academic efficiency (1.72%). Conclusions Biometric data were shown to significantly predict psychological health and academic experiences in medical students. Biometrically assessed sleep is poor in medical students, and consecutive days of short sleep duration are particularly impactful as it relates to other measures of wellness. Longitudinal, biometric data tracking is feasible and can provide students the ability to self-monitor health behaviors and allow for low-intensity health interventions.

THE PREVALENCE OF SOCIAL DISRESPECT TOWARDS CAREGIVERS: A BARRIER TO INDUSTRY GROWTH AND QUALITY ELDERLY CARE IN BANGLADESH

This study systematically reviews the issue of social disrespect towards caregivers in Bangladesh and its far-reaching implications for the caregiving profession and the quality of elderly care. Drawing from 80 high-quality studies, the review reveals that social disrespect—manifesting as verbal abuse, condescension, and lack of recognition—is a widespread problem faced by caregivers, leading to emotional exhaustion, burnout, and high turnover rates. The findings show that 65% of the studies reported frequent disrespect towards caregivers, while 72% established a direct link between this disrespect and increased burnout. Additionally, 68% of the studies indicated that social respect strongly correlates with job satisfaction, with higher levels of respect leading to improved caregiver morale, retention, and care quality. Institutional challenges, such as the absence of formal training and professional development opportunities, exacerbate this problem by reinforcing the perception that caregiving is low-status, unskilled labor. The review highlights the potential for public awareness campaigns, policy interventions, and institutional reforms to address these issues, recommending that Bangladesh adopt similar approaches to those successfully implemented in countries like Japan and Australia. By improving societal attitudes, professionalizing the caregiving industry, and providing mental health support, these measures could significantly enhance the social standing of caregivers, improve job satisfaction, and ultimately lead to better care outcomes for the elderly population.

Cross-cultural adaptation and primary approbation of the Russian version of Posttraumatic Growth and Depreciation Inventory — Expanded version

Numerous studies suggest that caring for someone with a chronic disease is often associated with the various negative consequences for the patient’s informal caregivers. At the same time, positive changes caused by the stress influence of patient’s disease can be also noted. For example, the so-called posttraumatic growth. Currently, there is a lack of assessment tools in domestic psychology, that allow to investigate the relation between constructive (developmental) and destructive aspects of the relative’s mental response in a situation of chronic illness of a loved one.The aim of this work was to carry out cross-cultural adaptation and primary approbation of the Posttraumatic Growth and Depreciation Inventory — Expanded version (PTGDI-X). Primary approbation was performed on a focus group of relatives of patients with cerebral pathology (n = 61, mean age 51,2 [SD = 15,3] years). Convergent and discriminant validity of the PTGDI-X assessed using World Assumption Scale (WAS), Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R), Level of Relatives’ Emotional Burnout Questionnaire (LREB). In addition, a specially adapted for the research Burden questionnaire was used.The analysis revealed good psychometric characteristics of the PTGDI-X Russian version in terms of: internal subscales consistency (Cronbach’s α coefficients varied from 0,73 to 0,86), internal and external construct validity

Emotional Intelligence and Burnout among Adolescent Basketball Players: The Mediating Effect of Emotional Labor.

Burnout, characterized by emotional and physical exhaustion, poses a significant challenge to adolescent athletes, particularly in high-intensity sports like basketball. Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to manage emotions, which is negatively associated with burnout. Emotional labor, including strategies of surface acting (SA), deep acting (DA), and genuine expression (GE), plays a potentially key role in emotion management between EI and burnout for athletes. This study aims to investigate the relationship between EI and burnout, as well as the mediating role of emotional labor strategies among adolescent basketball players. Our cross-sectional study, conducted in youth sports schools in four different places in China, involved 260 basketball players. Results indicate a negative association between EI and burnout, with SA and GE emerging as significant mediators. SA was positively linked to burnout, while GE showed a negative association. These findings suggest that enhancing EI and managing emotional labor strategies are crucial for mitigating burnout and improving the well-being and performance of young athletes.

The severity of emotional burnout syndrome among regional journalists

INTRODUCTION. The relevance of the topic is justified by the attention of society to the mental health of journalists in connection with the tense geopolitical situation: in 2022, UNESCO released a policy document “Safety of Journalists Covering Traumatic and Suffering Events”. The purpose of this study is to identify symptoms of emotional burnout syndrome in young journalists of the Penza region and correlate them with job satisfaction indicators in the editorial office.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The leading method was an anonymous survey of regional journalists (based on the media of the Penza region) aged 20–30 years using psychological methods for diagnosing the level of emotional burnout syndrome and job satisfaction.RESULTS AND DISCUSSION. In editorial offices, there is a priority of collective work over individual achievements: this is showed by high indicators on the scale of reduction of personal achievements. However, orientation towards collective work increases self-satisfaction. Compared with those subjects who had high indicators of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, the severity of BS in the group of subjects with reduction of personal achievements is almost two times lower.CONCLUSION. It is possible to talk about a fairly high level of loyalty of Penza journalists to their editorial office – about 65 %. However, the rest of the young journalists do not receive moral or material support to the required extent. The diagnostic data obtained can be used in media psychology classes for journalism students and for developing trainings.

İşe bağlı duygusal tükenmişliğin sessiz istifa üzerine etkisinde çalışma yaşam kalitesinin aracılık rolü: Sağlık çalışanlarında bir araştırma

This study aims to determine the mediating role of quality of work life in the effect of work-related emotional burnout on quitting in healthcare workers and whether there is a significant difference with demographic variables. SPSS 26 package programme Process Macro (Model 4) was used to evaluate the data. It was determined that the scale variables were normally distributed. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, one-way analysis of variance and Pearson correlation analysis were used to determine the relationships between the scales. Process Macro (Model 4) was used for mediation analysis. The study was conducted in a university hospital with the participation of 260 health workers. According to the findings, work-related emotional burnout and quiet quitting were found to be moderate, and quality of work life was found to be high. There was a significant difference between age and work-related emotional burnout and quality of work life. The direct (β= 0.380) and indirect (β= 0.152) effects of job-related emotional burnout on quiet quitting are statistically significant. As a result, it can be said that age is an essential determinant of work-related emotional burnout and quality of work life. It is concluded that quality of work life mediates the effect of work-related emotional burnout on quitting. It is recommended that work-related emotional burnout and quiet quitting should be reduced, and healthcare workers' quality of work life should be increased.
