Feelings Of Low Personal Accomplishment Research Articles

Psychometric testing of the nurses professional values scale-revised on family and community health nurses.

Family and Community Health Nurses (FCHNs) are at a higher risk of experiencing emotional exhaustion and feelings of low personal accomplishment. Higher levels of professional identity may decrease these negative feelings. Its measurement could produce positive effects for FCHNs and the quality of care they offer. This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R) on FCHNs in Italy. A cross-sectional research design was used. A convenience sample of FCHNs was recruited in an out-of-hospital setting from Italy. A total of 202 nurses were eligible (mean age of 41.11 ± 10.55years; 78.2% female). The study was performed in accordance with the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki. Participants were asked for their consent and were guaranteed anonymity in the information collected. The study was approved by the internal review board of the university. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) supported a unidimensional factorial structure of the NPVS-R with an adequate fit to the data. Internal consistency reliability was also supported. The construct validity was further reinforced by the concurrent validity results showing a positive and significant correlation of professional identity with job satisfaction. The NPVS-R is a valid and reliable instrument to measure professional identity among FCHNs. It can be used in clinical practice to improve FCHNs' psychological-emotional feelings and quality of care provided, in research to allow comprehensive understanding of professional identity, and in educational settings to monitor the professional identity levels of Family and Community Health Nursing students.

Prevalence, levels and related factors of burnout in nurse managers: A multi-centre cross-sectional study.

AimsThe aims of this study are to analyse the prevalence and levels of burnout syndrome in nurse managers and to evaluate the relationship between burnout and related sociodemographic, occupational and psychological factors.BackgroundBurnout syndrome, defined as an emotional response to chronic stress, is a major problem among nurse managers.MethodsThe study was conducted using a cross‐sectional survey design and data collected by the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the revised NEO Five Factor Inventory and the Educational‐Clinical Questionnaire for Anxiety and Depression. The sample population consisted of 86 nurse managers from different hospitals from the Public Health Service of Andalusia, Spain.ResultsA total of 22.4% of the participants presented high levels of emotional exhaustion, 21% experienced depersonalisation and 57.6% had little sense of personal accomplishment. Working long shifts was related to burnout. Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were predicted by depression, while personal accomplishment was predicted by conscientiousness, agreeableness and openness.ConclusionsA total of 34.1% of the participants presented high levels of burnout, manifested by feelings of low personal accomplishment. Psychological and occupational factors play an important role in the development of this syndrome.Implications for Nursing ManagementNurse managers should seek to detect burnout among staff and colleagues matching the risk profile for this condition and promote interventions to prevent it.

PREVALENCE OF BURNOUT AMONG CLINICAL UNDERGRADUATES IN THE UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN

Burnout is described as a syndrome may result from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, especially among people whose profession involves numerous direct interactions with people. Undergraduate clinical students are typically exposed to such conditions predisposing to burnout in our practice area. It is probable that this may affect their academic performances and general well-being; hence this study sought to provide information on prevalence of burnout among University of Ibadan clinical students. A total of 361 students at the clinical phase of their training for degrees in Medicine and Surgery (n=185); Physiotherapy (n= 28); Dentistry (n=73); and Medical Laboratory Sciences (n=75) at the University of Ibadan were recruited using proportionally stratified random sampling technique. Socio-demographic information were obtained and their burnout level assessed using Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Data were summarised using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of chi-square test of association and kruskal-wallis at p= 0.05.Results showed a pattern of high prevalence of burnout in the depersonalization domain (72.6%), 44% had feelings of low personal accomplishment, and 12.7% had feelings of emotional exhaustion on the MBI grading. Both the low personal accomplishment and feeling of emotional exhaustion are precursor to actual burnout. Results suggest that about 7 in every 10 students experience burnout or are at a risk of having burnout. The outcome of this study points to the need for appropriate measures to guard against possible factors predisposing to burnout among clinical students at different levels of their trainings.

Burnout Syndrome in Paediatric Nurses: A Multi-Centre Study

Background: Burnout syndrome is an increasingly prevalent problem, characterised by emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (D), and low personal accomplishment (PA), feelings that appear with prolonged exposure to stress-inducing situations. The syndrome alters physical well-being and endangers the quality of services provided. Among nurses working in the paediatric area, the association between burnout and the corresponding risk profile has received little research attention, despite the highly stressful nature of this work. Materials and Methods: The study population was composed of 95 nurses working in four hospitals in the province of Granada. Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the NEO Personality Inventory, and the Educational-Clinical Questionnaire: Anxiety and Depression. Results: According to the results obtained, 22.0% of the nurses working in the paediatric area present high levels of EE, 18.5% present high levels of D, and 39.6% had feelings of low PA. These burnout levels do not depend on sociodemographic or labour variables, but the three domains of the syndrome are related to the psychological factors analysed. Conclusions: Among the nurses who participated in this study, 38.6% presented high levels of burnout, especially regarding feelings of low personal accomplishment. Personality factors play an important role in the development of this syndrome. This study shows the impact of burnout in paediatric nurses as well as the risk factors, providing information for the development of strategies to prevent it.

Predictors of burnout of health professionals in the departments of maternity and gynaecology, and its association with personality factors: A multicentre study.

To analyse the prevalence, levels and phases of burnout syndrome in midwives and obstetrics and gynaecology nurses, and to evaluate the relationship between burnout and sociodemographic, occupational and psychological factors. Burnout syndrome is a major problem in occupational health, characterised by feelings of exhaustion, depersonalisation and a low sense of personal achievement that appears after long-term occupational stress. Recent research has found that burnout harms the physical and mental well-being of workers, and jeopardises the quality of care provided. The association between burnout and a risk profile in maternity wards has not previously been investigated but it deserves special attention since it is a highly stressful area to work in. A cross-sectional survey design was selected. A total of 150 nurses and midwives at 18 hospitals participated in this study. The data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, NEO Personality Inventory and the Educational-Clinical Questionnaire: Anxiety and Depression. This study adhered to the STROBE guideline. 17% of participants presented high levels of emotional exhaustion, 16.6% high depersonalisation and 55.1% a sense of low personal accomplishment. The sociodemographic and occupational variables related to burnout were gender, marital status and work shift. The three dimensions of the syndrome, emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and personal accomplishment were predicted by depression, neuroticism, agreeableness and openness. One third of the sample presented high levels of burnout, which was most strongly experienced as feelings of low personal accomplishment. Furthermore, personality factors play an important role in the development of burnout syndrome. Managers and policy makers should promote strategies to reduce burnout. To prevent the syndrome, personality factors should be taken into account, for the early identification of a profile of professionals most at risk of developing burnout.

Burnout syndrome among psychiatrists in Egyptian mental health hospital

BackgroundBurnout is a special type of work-related stress—a state of physical or emotional exhaustion that also involves a sense of reduced accomplishment and loss of personal identity (Lancet 388:2272-2281, 2016).Burnout is a syndrome of state of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and feelings of low personal accomplishment (Maslach C and Jackson S, Maslach burnout inventory manual, 1986).Burnout syndrome leads to severe problems. It may cause psychosomatic problems, family and marital conflicts, and substance misuse and also may result in complications such as late coming and early leaving of employees, quitting, having frequent medical reports, and the lack of productive and constructive ideas and criticism in the occupational settings (Sayil et al, Kriz Dergisi, Cilt 5, Say 1:2 ss.71-77, 1997).So, we aimed to estimate the rate of occurrence of burnout among a sample of psychiatrists in one of the governmental psychiatric hospitals in Egypt.ResultsResult shows that 56.2% of study sample were males and 43.8% were females. Their mean age was 32 ± 6, and 57.5% were married and 42.5% were single. Mean score of emotional exhaustion was 28.25 ± 10.45 (high). Mean score of depersonalization was 8.5 ± 6.1 (moderate). Mean score of personal accomplishment was 31.78 ± 8.5 (low)ConclusionBurnout rate among psychiatrists of Al-Abbassia Hospital is higher than in western countries. Marriage and sleeping in home have protective effects. There is a significant association between high number of working hours per week and quality of the relationship with seniors and burnout.

Burnout in Portuguese physiotherapists, prevalence and influencing factors

Psychological stress can be viewed as occurring when demands exceed an individual's adaptive capacity. Burnout is an occupational syndrome defined by three dimensions, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and feelings of low personal accomplishment. Factors related to the nature of the physiotherapy practice, in which health care is provided to patients under painful experiences and chronical conditions, to aspects related to emotional fatigue brought by interpersonal exchanges or physical exhaustion due to staff shortage, within an increasingly demanding health care system, expose physiotherapists to a higher risk of burnout and few studies have examined burnout in this specific setting. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of burnout in Portuguese physiotherapists and to explore possible associations between burnout and demographic and work-related variables. Significant but weak association was found between age and emotional exhaustion, and between clinical experience and emotional exhaustion and global burnout score. Weak association was also found between the number of treated patients daily and daily working hours and physical fatigue and global burnout. Workload was associated with significantly higher scores of physical fatigue, cognitive weariness and global burnout. The prevalence of burnout was not high but significant differences were found in the prevalence of physical fatigue between the group with low workload and high workload. Emotional exhaustion was the most relevant predictor of the global burnout score. In conclusion, the results suggest that the prevalence of burnout in Portuguese physiotherapists is not very high, however, workload seems to place these professionals at a higher risk of developing burnout.

The relationship between social support and burnout among ICU nurses in Shanghai: A cross-sectional study

Abstract Objective The associations between social support and burnout were explored in ICU nurses of Shanghai. Methods We performed a cross-sectional study of 356 ICU nurses by applying random cluster sampling. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires under the instruction of trained investigators. Data on emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and feelings of low personal accomplishment etc. were collected, calculated and analyzed. Results The participants had a mean age of 26.96 years (SD 4.07). The mean value (M) and standard deviation (SD) of emotional exhaustion was M = 31.85, SD = 8.38, those of depersonalisation was M = 11.69, SD = 5.54 and those of feelings of low personal accomplishment was M = 19.79, SD = 7.02. The high degree of emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalisation (DP), and lack of personal accomplishment (PA) were revealed to be 76.4%, 39.6%, and 94.9%, respectively. The major influencing factors of emotional exhaustion included support from co-workers(R = 0.343, T = 1.98, P = 0.049), taking leave (R = −1.182, t = −3.747, P = 0.001), requisition of work (R = −1.41, t = −2.369, P = 0.018), and supervisor support (R = −0.524, t = −3.926, P = 0.001). The major influencing factors of depersonalisation were support from the supervisor (R = −0.333, t = −4.146, P = 0.001), age (R = −0.89, t = −2.272, P = 0.024) and requisition of work (R = −0.148, t = −2.124, P = 0.034). There was a positive co-relationship between personal accomplishment and supervisor support. Conclusions Supervisor support, age, and requisition of work were the major influencing factors of depersonalisation. In addition, supervisor support plays an important role in low personal accomplishment. Further research should focus on supervisor support, co-worker support, time on leave, and requisition of work associated with emotional exhaustion.

Burnout Among Occupational Physicians: A Threat to Occupational Health Systems?—A Nationwide Cross-sectional Survey

Burnout among occupational health physicians in France was measured in a nationwide cross-sectional survey. The relationships between each dimension of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and feelings of low personal accomplishment) and stress level, identity threat, and job characteristics were analysed. E-mails were sent out to all occupational physicians working in France by the French Ministry of Labour, inviting them to fill out an online questionnaire. This questionnaire included the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Perceived Stress Scale, and the Primary Appraisal of Identity scale. Job characteristics were measured with survey-specific questions. Of the 5010 occupational physicians who were potentially contacted, 1670 (33%) completed the online questionnaire. The estimated prevalence of burnout was 11.8%, twice as high as in a sample of French general practitioners (5%). The main characteristic of the burnout pattern was feelings of very low personal accomplishment (63.9%). Job characteristics were only weakly correlated with burnout, but stress level and identity threat were correlated with all three dimensions of burnout. The perceived stress was the main risk factor for emotional exhaustion and identity threat for feelings of low personal accomplishment. The health status of occupational physicians is important for both the individual physicians and for the occupational health system. Occupational physicians are unwell, and we probably need to change the way we currently cope with burnout. This is not only a stress-induced syndrome, resulting from high workloads, but a low self-esteem-induced syndrome, too.

School climate factors relating to teacher burnout: A mediator model

The present study investigated components of school climate (i.e. parent/community relations, administration, student behavioral values) and assessed their influence on the core burnout dimensions of Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization, and feelings of low Personal Accomplishment. The study weighed the relative contributions of demographic factors (i.e. gender, age, years of teaching experience), teacher satisfaction, and teacher-rated school climate that predict resultant levels of teacher stress and burnout from 17 rural schools in southeastern Ohio. Results revealed that different aspects of school climate related to each of the three primary burnout dimensions. Further, the inverse relationship between school climate and burnout was mediated by teacher satisfaction levels for both Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization dimensions. Results from the present study may be used in the development of future intervention targets for reducing teacher stress and burnout.

A Causal Model of Burnout Among Self-Managed Work Team Members

The findings on burnout that are almost universally from research in service settings are applied to an industrial setting with self-managed work teams. Researchers formulated several hypotheses on the basis of this literature. These hypotheses were then used to develop a structural (causal) model that was tested and refined using LISREL 8. Data were collected from 320 employees concerning perceptions of several job and organization conditions, as well as the three components of burnout. Results indicated that role conflict contributed to emotional exhaustion, and participation in work teams diminished it. Job ambiguity, low co-worker support, and low job ability contributed to feelings of low personal accomplishment. These results were consistent with previous findings. When insufficient time to complete a job was removed from the workload measures, workload actually diminished burnout, a finding opposite from previous research. Other organization factors had no significant impact on burnout in this setting.

Correlates of burnout among public service lawyers

AbstractSeveral hypotheses suggested by the theoretical literature on burnout were empirically tested in an attempt to identify the organizational conditions associated with employee burnout. Public service lawyers in the U.S. (N= 391) completed a survey designed to assess (a) three components of burnout, namely, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and feelings of low personal accomplishment; (b) perceptions of several job conditions predicted to be associated these three components of burnout, including workload, role conflict, social support, decision‐making policies, and autonomy; and (c) organizational commitment. Results indicate that emotional exhaustion is most strongly associated with role conflict and quantitative workload. Feelings of personal accomplishment were associated with supervisory social support and job level. Depersonalization was associated with role conflict and decision‐making policies. Finally, each burnout component is significantly related to organizational commitment.
