Role Of Burnout Research Articles

Professional burnout of elementary school principals

AbstractThe professional role of a school principal encompasses various tasks, including administrative, legal, strategic, financial, and managerial responsibilities in the education sector. The intricate nature of their work exposes principals to increasing stress, leading to burnout. This qualitative study with 15 principals aims to identify key factors contributing to burnout and explore mitigation strategies. Findings highlight administrative, legal, and accounting tasks, as well as hiring responsibilities, as major stressors. Interpersonal relationships with teachers and parents also play a role in burnout. Common coping methods mentioned by participants include spending time with loved ones and engaging in stress management education. Additionally, the study underscores the importance of developing comprehensive support systems within the school environment to alleviate the burden on principals. The study serves as a foundation for future research on principal stress in educational settings and as material for professional development on burnout in primary schools. By addressing the highlighted stressors, educational leaders can work towards creating a more sustainable and supportive work environment, thereby reducing the risk of burnout among principals.

Predicting PTSD among labour ward staff: The role of burnout, intent to leave, and emotional support

Abstract Background Healthcare professionals in delivery rooms frequently encounter stressful situations. Following an examination of how midwives coped and functioned during the unfamiliar and chaotic period of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is crucial to understand their challenges and the support they receive to enhance well-being and patient care. This study aimed to examine the relationship between burnout, intentions to leave, and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) symptoms among healthcare professionals, and to identify predictors of PTSD. Methods We employed a mixed-methods design, consisting of a survey of 196 midwives and gynecologists assessing burnout, intentions to leave, exposure to negative work experiences, and PTSD. Additionally, we conducted 15 semi-structured interviews and 13 interviews with labour ward head nurses. Results Most participants experienced difficult events in the delivery room or multiple such events, reporting insufficient emotional support. The main themes identified were stress, fear, anxiety, and frustration. Burnout and a lack of emotional support were significant predictors of PTSD symptoms, with participants highlighting the need for more support to manage complex situations. Discussion Addressing burnout through prevention and intervention programs is essential. Emotional support plays a crucial role in mitigating PTSD symptoms, enhancing resilience and well-being among midwives and gynecologists. Implications for Nursing Management: Understanding the psychological impact of stressful situations on healthcare professionals is crucial for guiding policies and interventions aimed at maintaining staff psychological well-being. Midwives’ managers can leverage this research to identify actions that improve staff resilience and cohesion during crises. Strengthening the resilience of health teams is pivotal in providing optimal health services. Key messages • Burnout and insufficient emotional support are key predictors of PTSD among healthcare workers in labour wards. • Enhancing support and resilience for midwives and gynecologists is crucial for their well-being and patient care.

The Effect of High Performance Work System on Intention to Leave and Safety Workarounds: The Role of Burnout as Mediation and Mentoring & Coping Mechanism as Moderator

This study aims to analyze the influence of High Performance Work System (HPWS) on intention to leave and safety workarounds, with the role of burnout as a mediation variable and mentoring and coping mechanism as a moderator variable. The study was conducted on non-doctor employees at the Diponegoro National Hospital, Semarang. The method used is a quantitative approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires distributed to respondents. The data was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results of the study show that HPWS has a negative influence on burnout, which means that the implementation of HPWS can reduce the level of emotional fatigue of employees. In contrast, burnout has a positive effect on intention to leave and safety workarounds, indicating that employees who experience burnout are more likely to want to leave the company and ignore work safety procedures. In addition, burnout acts as a mediator between HPWS and the two variables. Good HPWS implementation is able to reduce burnout, thereby reducing employee intentions to move and increasing compliance with safety procedures. The conclusion of this study is that the effective implementation of HPWS can reduce employee burnout, reduce the desire to leave work, and increase compliance with occupational safety. Mentoring and coping mechanisms play an important role in strengthening the positive effects of HPWS.

“On the roots of interpersonal strain at work: The role of burnout and social self-efficacy”

This study questions whether interpersonal strain at work (i.e., a measure of disengagement and withdrawal from others) is an outcome of burnout rather than a core facet of the syndrome by adopting the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) framework (Schaufeli et al., 2020). The BAT distinguishes between core (i.e., exhaustion, mental distance, emotional and cognitive impairment) and secondary symptoms. In doing so, the study conceptualizes a process in which individual differences in one's beliefs about nurturing and capitalizing from social relationships in the workplace (i.e., social self-efficacy) and the burnout symptom of emotional impairment (i.e., deterioration of self–regulatory control on negative emotions) operate in concert in determining interpersonal strain. To test our predictions, a two-wave study using a sample of 346 white collar workers from a government agency was designed. Results revealed that, among the core burnout symptoms, emotional impairment predicted unique variance in interpersonal strain at work after two years. Furthermore, social self–efficacy beliefs were associated with a significant decrease in emotional impairment, which, in turn, mediated the longitudinal relation between social self–efficacy and interpersonal strain. Theoretical and practical implications of our results, as well as the limitations of our study, are discussed.

Impact of on-call shifts on working memory and the role of burnout, sleep, and mental well-being in trainee physicians

ABSTRACT Background Optimal cognitive functions, including working memory (WM), are crucial to enable trainee physicians to perform and excel in their clinical practice. Several risk factors, including on-call shifts, poor mental health, burnout, and sleep problems, can impair clinical practice in trainee physicians, potentially through cognitive impairment; however, these associations have not been fully explored. Objective This study investigated the effect of on-call shifts on WM among trainee physicians and its association with burnout, depression, anxiety, affect, and sleep. Materials and methods This cross-sectional study involved 83 trainee physicians (45% male). We measured demographic and training-related factors including on-call shifts and working hours. We also assessed depressive symptoms (PHQ-9), both state and trait anxiety (STAI total score), burnout (OLBI total score), positive and negative affect scores (PANAS), and sleep disturbances (PSQI total score). WM was evaluated using spatial working memory (SWM) strategy scores that reflected performance and total error counts. Results Trainee physicians with more on-calls per month had significantly worse depressive symptoms, burnout scores, and sleep, as well as more negative affect. While controlling for covariates, being on-call more times per month was significantly associated with worse WM. Worse depressive symptoms and burnout scores were also significantly associated with impaired WM. Conclusion Working more on-call shifts is associated with compromised WM. Trainee physicians who experienced more depressive symptoms and burnout had worse WM.

Associations Among Social Jet Lag, Sleep-Related Characteristics, and Burnout of Nurses in Tertiary Hospitals.

To investigate the status of social jet lag (SJL) through sociodemographic factors among clinical nurses and examine the correlation with burnout. There has been relatively little research on the possible factors resulting in SJL among nurses in China and its role in burnout. A multicenter cross-sectional study recruited 596 nurses from 7Chinese hospitals. Online questionnaires were delivered to assess sociodemographics, shift work, SJL, chronotypes, and the burnout of nurses. Nurses had severe levels of SJL. The number of children, forms of employment, specialty area, length of professional service, and chronotypes were the main predictors of SJL. Moreover, SJL affected burnout (emotional exhaustion and deindividuation), and reducing the nurses' SJL could relieve their burnout. Additional evidence-based interventions indicate that reducing the SJL is essential as the nurses are suffering severe job burnout.

The role of burnout and coping in the quality of life among disaster emergency volunteers during the Cianjur earthquake

Volunteering in emergencies has a fundamental role in improving and maintaining collective and community health. However, volunteers often have to deal with very stressful situations and conditions, leading them to burnout and coping strategy issues that possibly decrease their quality of life. AimsThis study investigated the correlation between burnout, coping, and quality of life among emergency disaster volunteers who responded to the earthquake in Cianjur, West Java, from November 21, 2022 to December 20, 2022. MethodsData were collected by using an online questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic questions, The Relief Worker Burnout Questionnaire, The Brief COPE, and WHOQOL-Bref. 110 emergency disaster volunteers responded to the survey, and data were danalysed by using multiple linear regression. ResultsThere were effects of burnout on quality of life, coping on quality of life, and burnout and coping together on the quality of life in disaster emergency response volunteers. There were significant differences in burnout scores of disaster emergency response volunteers according to gender, marital status, training experience, working cluster and years of service, while significant differences in the type of coping scores could be seen between gender, marital status, training experience, and working duration. The quality of life scores significantly differed regarding ethnic groups, marital status, training experience, and working duration ConclusionsBurnout and coping have effects on quality of life. Several demographic conditions showed significant differences in burnout, coping, and quality of life scores.

Burnout and depression in college students

Research on burnout has garnered considerable attention since its inception. However, the ongoing debate persists regarding the conceptual model of burnout and its relationship with depression. Thus, we conducted a network analysis to determine the dimensional structure of burnout and the burnout-depression overlap. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 were used to measure burnout and depression among 1096 college students. We constructed networks for burnout, depression, and a burnout-depression co-occurrence network. The results showed that cynicism symptom was the most central to the burnout network. In the co-occurrence network, depressive symptoms (“anhedonia”, “fatigue”) and burnout symptom (“doubting the significance of studies”) were the most significant in causing burnout-depression comorbidity. Community detection revealed three communities within burnout symptoms, aligning closely with their three dimensions identified through factor analysis. Additionally, there was no overlap between burnout and depression. In conclusion, our findings support a multidimensional structure of burnout, affirming it as a distinct concept separate from depression. Cynicism, rather than exhaustion, plays the most important role in burnout and the burnout-depression comorbidity.

Perceived superior trust and organizational commitment among public employees: The mediating role of burnout and the moderating role of public service motivation

The significance of trust as a vital element in the workplace, fostering a strong bond between leaders and their teams, and generating positive organizational outcomes is emphasized in this research. Leveraging the job demand-resource (JD-R) theory, the study employs a dual methodology: experimental (Studies 1 and 2) and field survey (Study 3), to investigate how trust perceived from superiors influences the organizational dedication of public sector employees. It also examines burnout's role as an intermediary and the influence of public service motivation (PSM) as a conditional factor. The key outcomes are: (1) enhanced organizational dedication can result from trust perceived from superiors; (2) this trust indirectly affects dedication through the lens of burnout; and (3) PSM plays a critical role in moderating the impact of perceived superior trust on organizational dedication. By elucidating the dynamic between perceived superior trust and organizational dedication, and its influence, this study presents novel strategies to boost organizational commitment among public employees.

Self-ageism among women in Greece: The role of burnout in career decision-making self-efficacy

The present research attempts to identify the role of age in women’s working lives. It studies the factors and aspects of women’s working lives that are affected by age and whether the burnout they experience affects their self-efficacy in the way they make professional decisions. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in Greece. To obtain the data a structured, online, self-administered questionnaire was used. The questionnaire consists of 25 questions referring to the variable of burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory — MBI), 25 questions concerning self-efficacy in career decision-making (career decision self-efficacy scale short form — CDSES-SF), and 25 questions concerning demographic data. The collected data was processed using the R language. The findings show that age and gender are very important factors influencing career development (Aliyev & Tunc, 2015). Age, therefore, plays a key role in women’s working lives (Loretto et al., 2000). The study adds value to existing research on ageism by focusing on the consequences for women’s professional lives in Greece. The findings can help in the formulation and development of targeted interventions to empower women and train them to improve their self-efficacy in terms of professional decision-making.

Tuntutan Pekerjaan, Intensi Keluar Kerja, dan Peran Burnout sebagai Mediator

The Covid-19 pandemic is a very critical period and has become an epidemic that has spread throughout the world, thus affecting all aspects of people's lives in the world. The increasing demand related to information technology automation since the Covid-19 pandemic has been followed by increasing job demands for employees in the information technology industry. In line with increasing job demands, the phenomenon of burnout and turnover intention is faced by company X. High job demands can cause fatigue and can influence employees to leave the organization or company. There is a relationship between job demands and turnover intention, but this relationship is not strong (weak) so a burnout mediator role is needed. The purpose of this research is to look at the role of burnout as a mediator in the relationship between job demands and turnover intention. Turnover intention is a deliberate action with full awareness to leave the organization. Job demands are the physical, psychological, social and organizational aspects related to work that are needed to support both physical and psychological demands that are associated with physical and psychological harm. Burnout is a symptom of emotional exhaustion and a negative view (cynicism) of what one does. The number of samples in this study was 71 people. The sampling technique is non-probability sampling with convenience sampling. Measuring the variable of turnover intention uses a measuring tool, measuring burnout using the burnout assessment tool, measuring job demands using the job demands-resources questionnaire. The results of this research are that there is a relationship between job demands and burnout. There is a role of burnout as a mediator in the relationship between job demands and intention to leave work.

Why They Intend to Leave: The Role of Burnout Between the Faculty Work Environment and Intent to Leave Academia

Though faculty are crucial to university success, faculty work motivation research often lacks a theoretical basis and discounts potential affective influences like burnout. Such limitations reduce the ability to understand faculty work motivation and, thus, to facilitate its development. To overcome these, the Affective Events Theory was applied to the domain of faculty work motivation. The resultant model was tested using faculty participants from 24 doctoral universities. Participants completed a survey assessing work-related characteristics, affect (burnout), and cognitions. Results revealed that faculty at doctoral universities (i.e., High and Very High Research Activity Universities) experienced less burnout when they received support from their institution, had autonomy in structuring their daily tasks, viewed their job as important, completed their tasks from beginning to end, experienced less skill and task variety, and were in good health. Those who experienced burnout reported diminished job satisfaction, reduced commitment, and less intention to stay in academia. The implications for theoretical research, institutional policy, and practice are discussed.

Areas of Work Life as Burnout Predictors in Dentists of Denpasar, Indonesia

Introduction: Burnout is most common among healthcare workers and is characterized by emotional fatigue, depersonalization and low personal accomplishment impacting behaviors also the work environment. This study aimed to analyze areas of work-life and burnout among dentists in dental hospitals. Methods: A cross-sectional survey study was conducted on 72 dentists in a dental hospital in Denpasar. An online questionnaire containing the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Areas of Work Life Survey by Michael Leiter and Christina Maslach to estimate burnout and work life was used for data collection from April-May 2022. Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the association. Results: The work-life area category had a score of 3.45, while the dentist’s average score for burnout had a mean value of 4.15. Workload, control, rewards, community, fairness, and values were associated with burnout. The control dimension showed the strongest correlation to burnout. The reward dimension had the most significant role in burnout. All dimensions of the work-life area are predictors of dentist burnout. Conclusion: Based on the finding of this study, all of the dimensions of work life can potentially cause burnout in dentists. A reward is the most dominant variable in the emergence of burnout. Management needs to set policies to reduce burnout for dentists at work.

Sleep Deprivation, Burnout, and Acute Care Surgery.

To define what sleep deprivation is, how it relates to the growing problem of burnout within surgeons, and what can be done to mitigate its effects. There is a growing awareness that sleep deprivation, in both its acute and chronic manifestations, plays an immense role in burnout. The physical and mental manifestations of sleep deprivation are manifold, effecting nearly every physiologic system. Studies evaluating strategies at mitigating the effects of sleep deprivation are promising, including work done with napping, stimulant use, and service restructuring, but are fundamentally limited by generalizability, scale, and scope. The overwhelming majority of data published on sleep deprivation is limited by size, scope, and generalizability. Within acute care surgery, there is a dearth of studies that adequately define and describe sleep deprivation as it pertains to high-performance professions. Given the growing issue of burnout amongst surgeons paired with a growing patient population that is older and more complex, strategies to combat sleep deprivation are paramount for surgeon retention and wellbeing.

Burnout and depression of medical staff: A chain mediating model of resilience and self-esteem

BackgroundAlthough the relationship between burnout and depression is well-known and frequently studied, the specific mechanisms by which burnout develops into depression have not been fully established. Based on theoretical and empirical research on resilience and self-esteem, this study constructs a chain mediating model to test whether they play a mediating role in burnout and depression among medical staff. MethodsA cross-sectional study with a sample consisting of 602 medical staff was carried out by convenient sampling method. They all completed a self-report questionnaire with demographic information, burnout, resilience, self-esteem and depression. SPSS26 and Mplus8.3 were used to analyze the data. ResultsBurnout was found to positively predict depression of medical staff and negatively predict resilience and self-esteem. Resilience was a mediator between burnout and depression. Self-esteem was also a mediator between them. Meanwhile, resilience and self-esteem had a chain mediating effect on burnout and depression. LimitationsThe cross-sectional study does not permit causal inferences. And the data used is self-reported. ConclusionsBurnout takes a toll on resilience and self-esteem, which can eventually lead to depression. These findings contribute to the understanding of the predictive effects of burnout on mental health and provide practical implications for the prevention and intervention of mental health among medical staff.

Troubles on troubled minds: an intensive longitudinal diary study on the role of burnout in the resilience process following acute stressor exposure

ABSTRACT Burnout negatively affects employees’ health, life satisfaction, and performance. However, little is known about how burnout shapes employees’ resilience process in daily life to produce these adverse effects. Therefore, we present a 30-day diary study among an international sample of 410 employees, studying burnout-related differences in response to an acute stressor (i.e., learning about the COVID-19 diagnosis of a close friend or family member). Specifically, we investigate how this event affects COVID-19-related worrying, positive and negative affect, and work engagement, both on the day itself and across several post-event days. Multilevel analyses with cross-level interactions between individual-level burnout and day-level stressor occurrence reveal that employees high in burnout score significantly higher on negative affect and lower on positive affect and work engagement on the day the stressor occurred. Additionally, discontinuous random coefficient growth modelling with burnout-time interactions shows that employees high in burnout sustain higher levels of COVID-19 worrying, but their negative and positive affect return to pre-event levels in the post-event days. These findings shed important new light on how burnout affects employees’ resilience process in response to acute stressors, thereby potentially identifying a key proximal mechanism by which burnout’s negative distal effects on health, well-being, and performance emerge.
