A systematic review of parental burnout and related factors among parents

BackgroundParenting is both a complex and stressful endeavor, so parents sometimes experience parenting burnout. The main objective of this study was to provide an overview of factors related to general parental burnout (PB) among parents with at least one child based on the Ecological Systems Theory (EST).MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, CNKI and WanFang were systematically searched for studies published from 2010 to July 2023 for peer-reviewed articles using keywords extracted from Medical Subject Headings such as “parenting”, “parental”, “burnout”, “psychological burnout”, “burn-out syndrome”. Studies were included if they described associations between factors and PB among parents of children aged 0-18 years old in the general population, and published in an English or Chinese language peer-reviewed journal. The Quality Assessment Tool for Studies with Diverse Designs (QATSDD) was employed to assess the risk of bias of included studies.ResultsOf 2037 articles, 26 articles met the inclusion criteria. Based on the Ecological Systems Theory (EST), we found that microsystem-individual factors such as gender, educational level, income, parental personality, internalization of maternal parental motivation, unmitigated communion, self-compassion and concern for others, alexithymia, anxiety and depressive symptoms, parental perfectionism, resilience, low self-esteem and high need for control, mother's attachment style were identified as being associated with parenting burnout. Mesosystem-interpersonal factors involve parent-child relationship and marital satisfaction. The exosystem-organizational or community factors include the number of children in the household, neighborhood and the number of hours spent with children, child's illness, child's behavior problems and social support. The macrosystem-society/policy or culture factors are mainly personal values and cultural values.ConclusionsThis systematic review found several factors that have been investigated in relation to PB. However, the majority of the factors were reported by one or two studies often implementing a cross-sectional design. Nevertheless, we still recommend that health policymakers and administrators relieve parenting burnout among parents with children by adjusting these modifiable factors.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a group counseling program to improve competencies of
 guidance for psychologically burnt-out secondary school teachers and verify the effect of the program
 through its implementation.
 Methods: The research participants were twenty teachers selected from 310 secondary school teachers
 who had answered a Teacher Burnout Inventory(TBI). The participants were those with results of
 a T-score higher than 55 on the “psychological burnout” scale combined with a T-score higher than
 55 on either the “sense of incompetency” scale or the “frustration” scale. They were divided into
 two groups: ten teachers in the experimental group and the other ten in the control group. After
 implementing the program, the quantitative data were statistically processed using Mixed ANOVA
 and the qualitative data such as reflective reports written by the participants in each session and
 observations of the group leader were utilized as well.
 Results: First, the program has a significant effect on an improvement of the competencies of guidance
 of psychologically burnt-out secondary school teachers. Second, the participants responded positively
 to the program according to the reflective reports and observations of the group leader. Third, there
 was a significant difference between the change in the competency of student counseling, empathy
 for students and managing students’ behavior.
 Conclusion: The group counseling program developed in this study was shown to be effective in
 improving the competencies of guidance of psychologically burnt-out secondary school teachers.

역기능적 정서와 업무 스트레스 지각의 관계에서 대처전략의 조절효과 -중등교원의 우울, 강박, 내향성을 중심으로-

Purpose: This study aimed to prevent the psychological burnout of counselors by focusing on
 depression, Psychasthenia, Social Introversion as individual dysfunctional emotions that increase the
 Job stress of counseling teachers, the effects of dysfunctional emotions on the Job stress, and verifying
 the moderating effects of coping strategies.

 schools were observed, and the moderating effect of coping strategies was verified in the relationship
 between dysfunctional emotions such as depression, compulsion, introversion, and Job stress.
 Results: First, the counselors’ dysfunctional emotions did not have a significant effect on role stress,
 but active and passive coping had a significant effect. In addition, interpersonal stress did not show
 a significant influence on both dysfunctional emotions and active coping, but passive coping had a
 positively signifi-cant effect. On the other hand, counseling job stress did not show any significant
 influence on both dysfunctional emotions, active coping, and passive coping. Second, the moderating
 effect of coping strategies on dysfunctional emotions and counseling job stress was verified.

재난 대응 직무 요구와 COVID-19 대응 인력의 번아웃

This study examined the impact of job demands of responding to the COVID-19 on psychological burnout among disaster responders. Online survey data from 1163 participants from 17 public health centers across South Korea. Multiple regression and threshold regression analyses were conducted with subscales of the MBI-GS as dependent variables. Explanatory variables were categorized into the unique factor of responding to a novel infectious disease disaster and another factor of increased general job demands related to disaster response. The results showed that the unique and general job demands differentially affected on the disaster responders’ emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and sense of professional efficacy. Furthermore, the relationships of the variables with burnout differed at the threshold of three to four imposed tasks. Agency managers and policymakers should continue to recruit and train specialized personnel on an ongoing basis, reorganize job assignments, and consider avoiding overburdening a single responder during disaster response.

Scale Development for "Great Research Mentors" and Its Relationship to Mentees' Psychological Burnout in Young Physician Researchers.

Fostering the research skills of young physician scientists is essential to increase the level of medical research in Japan. We aimed to clarify the mentor characteristics associated with a decreased risk of mentees' psychological burnout. A task team comprising medical doctors, researchers, nurses, and other healthcare professionals developed 35 items related to the characteristics of research mentors. In 2015, we recruited 258 physician researchers who were awarded a new Grant-in-Aid for Young Scientists between 2014-2015 and asked them to score 35 items on a five-point Likert scale. We developed a large research mentor scale using factor analysis and investigated which characteristics (i.e., domains) of the developed scale would be associated with a decreased level of psychological burnout measured by the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Maximum likelihood factor analysis with varimax rotation found three domains with 16 items. The three domains were labeled "Building a good trust relationship" (6 items, Cronbach's alpha = 0.889), "Mentorship in research" (6 items, alpha = 0.853), and "Established and authorized mentor" (3 items, alpha = 0.882). Multivariate linear regression models demonstrated that "Mentorship in research" was inversely associated with personal burnout (PBO) (beta = -6.25, p = 0.014) and work-related burnout (WBO) (beta = -4.76, p = 0.029); and "Building a good trust relationship" was inversely associated with client-related burnout (CBO) (beta = -4.91, p = 0.014). A great research mentor may be encouraged to have mentorship in research and a trusting relationship with mentees for mental health support.

성폭력 상담자들의 현장 경험에 관한 합의적 질적 연구: 개인적ㆍ전문적 영역을 중심으로

This study aimed to explore the field experiences of sexual violence counselors. It included 11 sexual violence counselors, and the research was conducted from March to June 2019. Data were analyzed using the Consensus Qualitative Research(CQR) method. The results revealed 5 central concepts, 13 domains, 39 categories. In the personal domain, psychological exhaustion due to various factors, efforts to continue the work, and the driving force of 'sense of mission' were identified. In the professional domain, the importance of multifaceted efforts as professionals, assistance needed for professional improvement, and the recognition of the connection between sexual violence and socio-cultural structures were emphasized. Through this, it was evident that sexual violence counselors experienced psychological burnout in the personal domain due to vicarious trauma, competence gaps, limitations of specialized counseling, heavy workloads, and recruitment challenges due to low pay and high turnover. Although counselors overcome these challenges through a sense of mission, sustaining work for an extended period is challenging through individual efforts alone, challenging work environments. In the professional realm, there was a consensus that continuous personal efforts are being made for professional improvement, but it was emphasized that social support should accompany these individual endeavors. Therefore, active support on a societal level is necessary, and improving their working conditions is crucial. This study is significant as it delves deeply into the experiences of sexual violence counselors, laying the groundwork for improving their professionalism.

Structural Relationships between Counselors' Sense of Calling, Meaning of Work, Living a Calling, and Psychological Burnout.

This study examined the influence of counselors' sense of calling on psychological burnout, mediated by meaning of work and living a calling, based on the work as a calling theory (WCT) and preceding studies. Furthermore, the sequential mediating effects of meaning of work and living a calling were investigated. Data were collected from 420 Korean counselors working in counseling centers located nationwide and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results revealed that a sense of calling negatively impacted psychological burnout. Second, the sense of calling did not affect psychological burnout through the mediation of meaning of work. Third, the sense of calling negatively impacted psychological burnout through the mediation of living a calling. Fourth, the sense of calling negatively affected psychological burnout through the sequential mediation of meaning of work and living a calling. Based on this study's findings, implications can be provided to enhance counselors' professional calling and reduce psychological burnout, thereby aiding them in resolving their psychological issues during counseling practice and providing higher-quality psychological services to clients. Suggestions for improvements and future research are also discussed.

교사의 기본심리욕구 만족과 좌절, 심리적 소진, 직무열의의 관계

This study aimed to examine the relationship of basic psychological need satisfaction and frustration with psychological burnout and job engagement of teachers. In that comprehensive and in-depth understanding of teachers’ basic psychological needs satisfaction and frustration should be a primary step, bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling (B-ESEM) was applied to explore the factor structure of needs satisfaction and frustration. B-ESEM represents one global factor of need fulfillment and six specific factors as the combination of satisfaction and frustration with autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Using a sample of 397 elementary and secondary school teachers, the results of B-ESEM showed that teachers’ need satisfaction and frustration converged to need unfulfillment rather than need fulfillment, and competence satisfaction and frustration was crucial for their global levels of basic psychological need unfulfillment. The general factor of need unfulfillment significantly explained psychological burnout and job engagement. Even after general need unfulfillment was taken into account, autonomy frustration and competence frustration maintained unique effects of increasing psychological burnout. Satisfaction of autonomy, competence, and relatedness as well as autonomy frustration had unique effects of increasing job engagement. This suggests the establish the conditions that can promote competence satisfaction and block competence frustration to reduce teachers’ burnout and to enhance their job engagement.

Examining the indicators of the relationship between Psychological Resilience and Burnout among psychosocial counsellors who work at the prisons of the Kurdistan Region – Iraq

In the initial observations of the performance of prison staff, the researchers find out that psychosocial counsellors who work at the prisons face psychological stress when dealing with prisoners. The prisoners have different characteristics and personalities from individuals outside prisons due to the nature of life and dealings inside prisons. Having stress could reflect negatively on the counsellor’s work and professional performance, which may raise the possibility of exposure to psychological pressure and loss of interest in work in general, this case may consider one of the indicators of psychological combustion. The current research aims to identify the relationship between psychological resilience and burnout among psychosocial counsellors in the Kurdistan Region prisons, the research sample was 100 counsellors, (78 males and 22 females). To measure psychological resilience Holling scale (1996) developed by Maltby (2016) that included three dimensions was used. Maslach’s (1981) scale, which included three dimensions, was used to measure burnout. To analyze the data, mean, standard deviation, Cronbach alpha, one- and two-way t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient was used. The results show that psychosocial counsellors have high levels of psychological resilience. However, they recorded low levels of psychological burnout. In addition, resilience and burnout significantly correlated negatively. There are insignificant differences in psychological resilience depending on gender. Yet, females recorded higher levels in the field of Emotional exhaustion for burnout than males, while the differences between males and females on depersonalization, and personal accomplishment components were insignificant.

Psychological distress among early medical residents: A 2-year longitudinal cohort study over seven years in Japan

BackgroundEarly medical residents are expected to have a higher prevalence of burnout due to physical and psychological stressors. However psychological distress associated with burnout has not been adequately investigated in a longitudinal manner. We therefore examined the longitudinal trajectory of depression and its associated factors among early medical residents. MethodsIn this cohort study, medical residents (n = 215) who started rotation at the University of Yamanashi Hospital during 2012 to 2018 were recruited and asked to complete the Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (BJSQ), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD), Brief Scale for Coping Profile (BSCP) and Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS) at the time of exit from each clinical department for up to two years over seven years. Factors associated with the CES-D scores were statistically explored, with a cutoff score of 16 to denote depression. ResultsThe CES-D was completed by 205 residents. The average CES-D score was 10.3 ± 8.0 and the scores were lower in the 2nd versus 1st year of residency (11.3 ± 6.7 versus 9.2 ± 7.0). Multiple regression analysis of BJSQ/BSCP/AIS on CES-D revealed that insomnia had a significant impact on the CES-D scores. Apart from insomnia, avoidance and suppression and peer support had significant effects. Resilient residents, who showed the maximum CES-D score of under 16 consistently throughout the residency, was better in terms of changing a point of view, active solution and changing mood. Women were more likely to express emotions to others, while they reported more job control in the first year. ConclusionsOur results have high clinical relevance to challenge psychological burnout among early medical residents, offering some possible clues for prevention such as reduced burden, more flexibility during the first year and strengthening coworker support. Insomnia exerted moderate to strong effects on depression and monitoring of sleep appears indispensable in this specific population.
