Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the responses of one hundred and seventy three nurses who work in emergency departments in New South Wales to the psychological tenets of stress, support and burnout. Several tools were utilised the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Jalowiec Coping Scale and the Bailey Stress Scale. The respondents were grouped according to their place of work and numerous variables were analysed for both similarities and significant differences. Overall nurses who work in emergency departments in NSW reported that the lack of in-patient beds or exit block was the most significant stressor in their work, followed by interruptions by telephones and uncontrolled volumes of patients. Although a variety of formal support systems available to emergency nurses were identified in this study a there was not universal agreement about their usefulness. Support from colleagues however was identified as sustaining and helpful. Reported coping styles of the respondents in this study were constructive, self reliant and professional. There was a very small number of respondents who can be classified as burnt out.Master of Science (Hons.) Health

Full textAbstract:
Many studies highlights the correlation between personality and burnout but a limitation in previous studies is the lack of longitudinell data, wich is preferable to show strong causal relationships. The purpose of this study is to explore if personality-traits can predict changes in levels of burnout across time. Longitudinal data from nurse students in Sweden participating in the LANE study are used. The personality constructs chosen are personality traits from The Five Factor theory, adjusted into traits specifically applicable in personality and health research. Two dimensions of burnout were used to identify levels of burnout, exhaustion and disengagement. The method used to explore changes in burnout levels, and associations to personalitytraits, is multiple regressionanalysis. The results show that the personality traits Impulsivity, Negative affectivity and Antagonism can predict burnout. The longitudinal data allow us to make stronger predictions than earlier studies made.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most common sources of stress is one's job and the struggle to balance the demands of one's job with those of one's family and/or romantic relationship. Prolonged exposure to stress can lead to burnout, and it can affect various aspects of one's life and one's emotional and cognitive well-being. Firefighters, police officers, and corrections officers are susceptible to burnout. If their well-being is compromised, it can impact their job performance, which can negatively impact society. The purpose of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between work-family conflict (time-based, strain-based, behavior-based), job burnout (exhaustion, depersonalization, accomplishment), and couple burnout in high-stress occupations, using the work-family conflict model. Using standard multiple regressions, strain-based work-family conflict and behavior-based work-family conflict were significant predictors of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and couple burnout. Work-family conflict scores predicted levels of personal accomplishment. In addition, emotional exhaustion was a significant predictor of couple burnout. This study provided insight into the aspects of work-family conflict and job burnout and how they predict couple burnout. Future research may include females, spouses, and other variables that may also predict burnout. Increasing education on which aspects of work-family conflict and job burnout predict couple burnout can help to increase awareness and well-being for individuals working in high-stress occupations. It can also lead to social change by encouraging changes in hiring, training, and support services, which can increase occupational retainment and allow employees to deliver the highest level of service to the populations in which they serve.

Full textAbstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia Clínica e da SaúdeA presente dissertação pretende estudar a relação entre o stress ocupacional e o burnout nos professores universitários. Neste âmbito, apresentamos uma revisão da literatura através da qual se procura analisar os paradigmas concetuais de stress e stress ocupacional, assim como fornecer uma reflexão sobre as questões relacionadas com o burnout. O estudo pretende ser relevante na medida em que o stress tem sido considerado a nível mundial uma questão que preocupa muito os empresários e os diretores das organizações. Além disso a Organização Mundial de Saúde tem alertado para o aumento desta problemática e o seu impacto na saúde mental das populações. Esta investigação é pertinente já que a população de professores universitários, segundo as informações de que dispomos até ao momento, tem sido pouco explorada e a literatura nacional e internacional é escassa ou inexistente. Este estudo pretende ser relevante ao explorar e medir o efeito da relação com diferentes chefias no surgimento do burnout, nomeadamente através da confiança na chefia (Keating, Silva & Veloso, 2010) e o relacionamento com a gestão de recursos humanos (Ferreira, 2014). Estas duas dimensões, que até ao momento ainda não foram exploradas nem associadas ao burnout, pretendem constituir um fator inovador de investigação e intervenção nesta temática. Supomos ainda que elas poderão funcionar como fatores protetores da saúde mental nas organizações. O plano de investigação é quantitativo, transversal e correlacional. O estudo empírico contou com uma amostra não probabilística constituída por 131 professores universitários. Os resultados indicam que a confiança e o relacionamento com a gestão de recursos humanos têm uma associação significativa negativa com o burnout. Consideramos que este estudo contribui para o conhecimento do fenómeno do stress e burnout junto dos professores universitários e no possível delineamento de estartégias de intervenção. É pertinente na medida em que sugere dimensões relevantes que podem ser trabalhadas organizacionalmente, no sentido de prevenir as consequências negativas do stress ocupacional e do burnout e melhorar o bem-estar, promovendo recursos individuais e laborais importantes. Os resultados evidenciam a necessidade das instituições apostarem, cada vez mais, na qualidade dos relacionamentos dentro das organizações, neste caso, como o estudo sugere com diferentes chefias, o líder de equipa e o responsável de recursos humanos.
The present dissertation intends to study the relationship between occupational stress and burnout in university professors. In this context, we present a review of the literature through which one analyzes the conceptual paradigms of stress and occupational stress, as well as provide a reflection on the issues related to the burnout. The study intends to be relevant to the extent that the stress has long been regarded at world level an issue that concerns the very businessmen and directors of organizations. Besides, the World Health Organization has warned about the rise of this problem and its impact on mental health of populations. This research is relevant as the university professors population, according to the information we have so far, has been little explored and the national and international literature is scarce or nonexistent. This study will be relevant to explore and measure the effect of the relationship with different managers in the emergence of burnout, including through confidence in the leadership (Keating, Silva & Veloso, 2010) and the relationship with the human resources management (Ferreira, 2014). These two dimensions, which so far have not yet been explored or associated with burnout, are intended to be an innovative factor of investigation and intervention on this issue. We assume also that they may act as protective factors of mental health in organizations. The research plan is quantitative, transversal and correlational. The empirical study included a non-probabilistic sample of 131 university professors. The results indicate that trust and relationship with the human resources management have a significant negative association with burnout. We believe that this study contributes to the knowledge of the phenomenon of stress and burnout among university professors and the possible design of intervention strategies. It is relevant in a way which it suggests relevant dimensions that can be worked organizationally, in order to prevent the negative consequences of occupational stress and burnout and improve well-being by promoting important individual and labor resources. The results show the need of betting institutions, increasingly, the quality of relationships within organizations, in this case, as the study suggests with different supervisors, team leader and the head of human resources.

Full textAbstract:
In the last decade, several epidemiological studies have found a high prevalence of occupational burnout in both western and developing countries. Burnout is a global concern and has the potential to negatively affect the individual’s psychological and physical health, as well as an organization’s and a country’s effectiveness and economy. The goal of this project was to create a stress management and prevention system that opens up for reflection and discussion on an individual, corporate and societal level. To achieve this the student investigated how stress could be quantified, visualized and communicated in a constructive way. The final concept assists the individual to recognize their stress and relaxation patterns and make constructive behavioral changes. In the workplace the system indicates stress levels and aims to enable real life communication regarding stress. Exposing stress data to the public empowers society to value and demand stress management.

Este trabalho aborda a síndrome de burnout como uma conseqüência do estresse laboral crônico. Objetivou verificar a incidência e os graus manifestos das dimensões esgotamento emocional (EE) despersonalização (DE) e envolvimento pessoal no trabalho (EP) em Fisioterapeutas. Participaram da pesquisa 80 fisioterapeutas efetivamente. Logo, os resultados apresentados referem-se a parte da população, sendo que os níveis de burnout podem ser ainda maiores, pois, como indicam autores, a não participação pode ser interpretada inclusive como traço de burnout. Buscou-se também determinar algumas características do perfil sócio-demográfico, ocupacional e pessoal e sintomas de estresse que possam estar associados a burnout. Trata-se de pesquisa aplicada, quantitativa e descritiva. Os instrumentos de investigação utilizados foram: Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), questionário de perfil sócio-demográfico e, de valores pessoais relacionados ao trabalho. A organização e tratamento dos dados foram organizados pelo Excel. A população pesquisada caracterizou-se, pelo predomínio do sexo feminino, faixa etária entre 21 e 35 anos, estado civil solteiro (a) e de profissionais sem filhos. Quanto às características ocupacionais, houve predomínio de atendimento de 20 a 30 pacientes por dia, graduação a menos de 05 anos (65%), seguida por 6 a 10 anos (22,5%), sendo que (50%) trabalham em instituições de saúde especificas e que (20%) desenvolvem atividade na docência universitária. Quanto as variáveis pessoais, os fisioterapeutas utilizam (14%) do seu tempo livre para realização de atividade física e (12%) para o lazer. Os resultados obtidos no Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) indicaram grau alto para a dimensão EE, médio para DE e EP, o que, segundo alguns autores, representa a fase inicial da síndrome.

Full textAbstract:
The relationship between occupational stress and burnout was investigated through a meta-analysis of 81 studies and 364 correlations. Occupational stress was measured by role conflict, role ambiguity, workload, cumulative role stress, job specific stress/stressors, and work setting characteristics. Burnout was measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory, 1981 and 1986 versions, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment components of burnout, measures of tedium, and the Staff Burnout Scale for Health Professionals. Thirty occupations in human and non-human service organizations throughout four publication periods were examined. Results indicated occupational stress strongly predicts burnout in non-human service organizations like industry and manufacturing as well as the human services. Job specific stressors most strongly predict burnout across organization types and occupation. Occupational stress predicts emotional exhaustion and depersonalization more than perceptions of reduced personal accomplishment. The findings support the use of transactional models of stress which consider occupational context as a precipitator of burnout, especially emotional exhaustion.

Stress has been variously defined by popular sources and researchers. A useful construct positions stress and burnout on continuum. In recent years, psychologists have become interested in the study on phenomenon known as, burnout. Burnout is an occupational stress. In organizations, different factors cause stress. One of the immediate outcomes of psychological stress is phenomenon of burn out. Some of the causing agents of burn out, of burn out are presence of severe and improper working condition at organization, improper leadership style practices in the organization and marital status. In this regard, due to development of new technology, information explosion, reduction of finance, lack of professional staff, immediate change at execute posts, specially chiefs of libraries and not using trained librarians caused which stress on the library staff which is followed by reduction of performance, job change, interferences (frustration), pre-term retirement, frequent lack of illness, burnout syndrome, consequently, in search of jobs and having official and executives roles. When there is no job stress for the librarians, they can do these most effort, stress free environment, would result in the acceleration of performance and efficacy. In this condition, proper management can no irradiate burnout.
Material and Methods: This research designed and performed for the librarians employed in the libraries affiliated to Mazandaran and Babol Medical Sciences in Mazandaran Province in the North of Iran. Data were collected in the questionnaire designed for different questions.
Results: 19 people were married and 11 people unmarried. Most of the participants had bachelor degree holder and 14 permanent (official elopement) employed. It is note worthy that 53.3 % of participants suffered stress (burnout). Since this study is going on, in case of acceptance the results will submit later, with detail and completed. Very little, however, has been done to measure the effectiveness of these remedies in preventing, improving, or eliminating the problem of burnout in these professionals.
Conclusion: There is growing research supporting the existence of burnout among academic librarians. Many suggestions to prevent, or remedy, this condition in librarians, some of them addressed specifically to help the academic librarians, have been considered and appear promising. Proffered solutions are targeted at both the individual level, and at a level deemed more effective by most researchers, the organizational level, which includes the broadest level, that of society itself. Very little, however, has been done to measure the effectiveness of these remedies in preventing, improving, or eliminating the problem of burnout in these professionals.

A amostra é constituída por 81 profissionais, de diferentes categorias dentro da organização. A metodologia utilizada é de natureza quantitativa e consistiu na aplicação de um conjunto de Questionários, designadamente, o Questionário “Fontes de Stresse” (versão adaptada à amostra), o Questionário “Sintomas de Stresse/Burnout”, e por último o Questionário Sociodemográfico. O Questionário “Fontes de Stresse” comporta onze dimensões de análise: Risco de Vida, Condições de Trabalho, Vida Pessoal e Profissional, Contato com o Público, Relacionamento com Colegas, Relacionamento com Superiores, Ritmo de Trabalho, Carreira e Remuneração, Autonomia e Iniciativa, Constrangimentos do Ambiente de Trabalho e Constrangimentos Físicos; O Questionário “Sintomas de Stresse/Burnout” é composto, por três dimensões de análise: “Fadiga Física”, “Esgotamento Cognitivo” e “Exaustão Emocional”. De uma forma sintética, observamos que os resultados encontrados indicam que as subescalas que traduzem mais Fontes de Stresse foram, por ordem decrescente, respetivamente: o Risco de Vida, as Condições de Trabalho, o Relacionamento com Superiores, o Relacionamento com Colegas, o Contato com o Público, a Carreira e Remuneração e os Constrangimentos do Ambiente. Em relação às características sociodemográficas que influenciam as Fontes de Stresse foram identificadas as seguintes: Idade, Agregado Familiar, Ter Filhos, Número de Filhos, Funções de Supervisão e Gravidade do Acidente. As subescalas mais pontuadas sobre os Sintomas de Stresse, associadas ao Burnout, foram por ordem decrescente a Fadiga Física, Exaustão Emocional e Esgotamento Cognitivo. As características sociodemográficas que influenciam os Sintomas de Stresse/Burnout foram as Funções de Supervisão e Acidentes de Trabalho.

Full textAbstract:
Career burnout has been recognized as a syndrome marked by mental, physical and emotional exhaustion which is especially prevalent among teachers. Teacher burnout is currently a widely researched phenomenon and controversy over its definition, causes and interventions has been great. Meanwhile, the burnout construct has gained little clarity. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether identifiable personality characteristics, as measured by the Personality Research Form, were consistently associated with burnout in teachers, as measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Cognitive Burnout Scale. Moderately strong relationships were found between specific personality characeristics and reported levels of burnout. However, individual factors were not concluded to be as critical as the interaction between such factors and the environment. Future directions are discussed.

The subjects were all male coaches (n=64) from twenty-four counties in southwestern Virginia. The multiple regression analyses indicated that role ambiguity and role conflict did not differentiate a higher level of burnout. The remaining demographic variables were not significant predictors of burnout. Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization were best explained by school enrollment. Personal accomplishment was best explained by total years as a head coach and number of sports coached.Master of Science

Les cas de Burnout, ou épuisement professionnel, se multiplient. L'Organisation Mondiale de la Santé estime que cette dépression sera en 2020 la deuxième cause d’invalidité chez l’humain. En France, la reconnaissance systématique du Burnout comme maladie professionnelle est une question qui interpelle aujourd’hui le législateur. Il est donc urgent d'analyser les causes de l'apparition de ce syndrome afin de mener une prévention efficace. Ces causes sont souvent vues comme individuelles. Notre travail de recherche s'efforce au contraire, comme le préconisent certains chercheurs, de mettre en évidence les facteurs liés à l'organisation du travail. L'étude empirique qualitative d'un cas réel nous permet de valider plusieurs facteurs organisationnels déterminants. Nous proposerons un modèle qui met en évidence, notamment, la relation au N+1. Une discussion est proposée avant la conclusion de nos travauxThe cases of Burnout are more and more frequent. The World Health Organization estimates that by 2020 this depression will be the second cause of disability. In France, the systematic recognition of Burnout as an occupational disease is an issue which today concerns the legislator. It is therefore urgent to analyze the causes of the appearance of this syndrome in order to carry out an effective prevention. These causes are often presented at an individual level. Our research on the contrary aims to highlight the factors related to the organization of work, as advocated by some researchers.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the relationship between burnout and social support in Minnesota high school guidance counselors during the l983—84 school year. Social support consisted of: work supervisors, peers, spouses, and friends & relatives. Additionally, the relationships between burnout and four demographic and seven job—related variables were investigated. The demographic variables were: age, sex, marital status, and education. The job-related variables were: opportunity for times-out, percentage of contact with troubled students, student/counselor ratio, instruction on stress and burnout reduction, school setting, school size, and years of counseling experience. Finally, the relationships between burnout and several interactive variables were investigated in order to determine if social support had primarily direct or indirect (buffering) effects. Regression analysis was used to test these relationships. The Following variables were consistently significant throughout the study: 2 social support variables-peer support and supervisor support (both negatively correlated with burnout); 1 demographic variable--age (negatively correlated with burnout), and 2 Job-related variables--percentage of contact with troubled students and student/counselor ratio (respectively, negatively and positively correlated with burnout). None of the interactive variables were significant.Ed. D.

The aim of this study was to determine whether coping strategies of police officers help moderate the outcome of burnout resulting from job stress. The nature of the job demands of police officers is such that they may experience high levels of stress. A convenience sample (N = 89: n Males = 58; n Female = 29) of police officers in police stations in the Eastern Cape was surveyed. The Maslach Burnout Inventory – General Survey, Police Stress Inventory and COPE questionnaire were administered. Results for all the participants indicate that when the occupational stressor Lack of Resources occurs police officers implement Avoidance Coping (COPE) as a strategy, which leads to the experience of Exhaustion. Results also indicate that police officers use Active Coping, Cognitive Coping and Turning to Religion as means of moderating the stress-burnout relationship. Results also show that the coping strategy Avoidance Coping, used by male officers lead to Cynicism. When female police officers experience Job Demands and a Lack of Resources they make use of Seeking Emotional Support as a coping strategy. Male police officers were shown to make use of Active Coping as a strategy to regulate the stress-burnout relationship while female police officers implemented Active Coping and Turning to Religion to act as a buffer between job stress and burnout.

jurídico, sendo igualmente muito importante para as empresas, pois em 2002 o custo económico
do stress relacionado com o trabalho na UE-15 foi estimado em 20 000 milhões de euros. O
presente estudo aborda a temática do stress em Enfermeiros Perioperatórios, procurando saber
qual o nível de stress nos enfermeiros perioperatórios da Região de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro.
Trata-se de um estudo não experimental, de carácter quantitativo, correlacional, num plano
transversal. A amostra foi constituída por 81 participantes, 27 enfermeiros perioperatórios da
Unidade Local de Saúde do Nordeste (ULSNE) e 54 do Centro Hospitalar de Trás-os-Montes e
Alto Douro. Foram aplicados três instrumentos de avaliação: Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) de
Maslach e Jackson (1986), Nurse Stress Index (NSI) de Harris de 1989 e Inventário de Resolução
de Problemas (IRP) de Vaz Serra (1987). Os principais resultados obtidos foram que, segundo o
NSI, a amostra exibe um nível considerável de stress, apresentando valores equivalentes a
stressantes nas sub escalas Carga de Trabalho 1 (Quantitativa), Clima Organizacional e Lidar com
doentes e família. Ao nível do Burnout, pela escala MBI, constatou-se que a amostra inquirida
possui um nível baixo de Burnout e quanto ao coping, através do IRP concluímos que a amostra
em estudo possui razoáveis mecanismos de coping. La reducción del estrés relacionado con el trabajo es un imperativo no solo moral sino jurídico,
siendo que es también muy importante para las empresas, puesto que en 2002, el costo
económico del estrés relacionado con el trabajo en UE-15 fue estimado en 20 000 millones de

Montes e Alto Douro. Es un estudio no experimental, cuantitativo, de carácter correlacionado,
en un plan transversal. La muestra fue constituida por 81 participantes, 27 enfermeros de
quirófano de la Unidad Local de Salud del Nordeste (ULSNE) y 54 del Centro Hospitalario de Trásos-
Montes e Alto Douro. Fueron aplicados 3 instrumentos de evaluación: Maslach Burnout
Inventory (MBI) de Maslach y Jackson (1986), Nurse Stress Index (NSI) de Harris de 1989 y
Inventario de Resolución de Problemas (IRP) de Vaz Serra (1987). Las principales conclusiones
fueron que, según el NSI, la muestra exhibe un nivel considerable de estrés, presentando valores
equivalentes a estresantes en las sub-escalas I – Volumen de Trabajo 1 (cantitativa), III – Clima
Organizacional y IV – Relación con enfermos y familia. Al nivel del Burnout, por la escala MBI, se
ha constatado que la muestra inquirida posee un nivel bajo de Burnout y con respecto al coping, a
través del IRP hemos concluido que la muestra examinada posee razonables mecanismos de
coping. To reduce work-related stress is peremptory, not only for moral reasons, but also for juridical ones,
and this issue is also very important to the companies, since in 2002, the economic cost of workrelated
stress in UE-15 was estimated in 20 000 millions of Euros. This study deals with stress of
surgical nurse staff, in Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro region. It is a non-experimental,
quantitative, correlating study, in a transversal plan. The sample was constituted by 81 participants,
27 male and female surgical nurses from North-east health unit and 54 from Trás-os-Montes and
Alto Douro hospital. There were used 3 tools for evaluation: Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) from
Maslach and Jackson (1986), Nurse Stress Index (NSI) from Harris from 1989 and Problem
Solving Inventory (IRP) from Vaz Serra (1987). The most important conclusions were that,
according to NSI, the sample shows a high level of stress, with values equal to stressed in subscales
I – Work Charge 1 (quantitative), III – Organizacional Environment IV – Relationship with
patients and family. At Burnout level, through MBI scale, it became evident that the surveyed
sample shows a low level of Burnout and in what concerns coping, through IRP we have come to
the conclusion that the surveyed sample has reasonable coping mechanisms.

Full textAbstract:
Over the last decade there have been sharp increases in recorded levels of occupational stress. Reports of the growing incidence of stress-related illness within the teaching profession continue, the numbers of teachers pursuing litigation to secure compensation for injury to health increasing. Based on qualitative empirical data gathered from indepth longitudinal interviews guided by humanist counselling frameworks, this study focuses on the phenomenological experiences of 21 secondary school teachers (and their tmilies) diagnosed as suffering stress-related illness. It shows how stress cascaded through school systems from government directives to the chalkface, and on into family systems, leading, in some cases, to finally burnout. Analysis through the sociology and psychology of emotion emphasises the central position of emotions in the aetiology of stress-related illness. This research shows that emotions are social processes, playing a vital role as communicators both to the self and to others. Emotional climates within schools and the home, individual and organisational emotional competencies, emotional labouring, emotion management and emotion rules were key themes contributing to the experience of stress-related illness. This study finally deals with the struggle for survival and identity reconstruction processes within the self-renewal journey. Some teachers, profoundly damaged by the experience of stress, were unable to return to the teaching world. Some emerged with a renewed and strengthened sense of self. Implications are drawn regarding student achievement, individual and collective emotional literacy, and the retention, training and professional development of teachers.

Este estudo teve como objetivo apresentar uma estratégia para redução do burnout entre enfermeiros hospitalares em dois hospitais na cidade de São Paulo, Brasil, antes e após a aplicação de um treinamento cognitivo-comportamental, utilizando a técnica de inoculação de stress. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, correlacional com abordagem quantitativa. Na coleta de dados foram utilizados: Maslach Burnout Inventory (MIB), instrumento de percepção e sinais e sintomas de stress, caracterização sócio-demográfica dos participantes e convite para participação no treinamento. Dos 145 questionários entregues 114 (78,62%) foram devolvidos; destes 111 (97,36%) enfermeiros indicaram interesse em participar do treinamento, entretanto somente 32 (28,82%) participaram. O treinamento foi ministrado com carga horária total de 12 horas abordando conceitos de stress, burnout, coping e comunicação interpessoal nas próprias instituições e dentro dos horários de trabalho dos enfermeiros. A análise dos resultados permitiu concluir que o nível de burnout foi considerado entre baixo / moderado para a amostra total (n=111). Para grupo não participante do treinamento (n=79) o maior número de associações positivas e significantes foram nos domínios desgaste emocional e despersonalização. Os níveis de burnout pré e pós-treinamento não sofreram alteração significativa para o grupo treinamento (n=32) e as associações foram positivas e significantes para o domínio incompetência profissional. A maioria dos participantes (21 65,80%) avaliou o treinamento como ótimo; ser aplicável na vida pessoal, no ambiente de trabalho, na interação com clientes, pacientes e na interação com demais profissionais e colegas. A justificativa de não participação dos demais enfermeiros foi a ausência de substituto nos horários dos treinamentos. Conclui-se que a estratégia foi eficiente na sensibilização dos enfermeiros para a problemática e demonstrou ser mais eficaz para redução de escores nos domínios despersonalização e incompetência profissional para esta amostraStress and burnout was recognized at an occupational risk by cause many health and mental problems besides to raise the absenteeism, turnover, and intent to leave among nurse staff around in the world. Burnout is a psychological syndrome with three component conceptualization: emotional exhaustion, depersonalize and diminished personal accomplishment. The burnout reduces the job performances due to job dissatisfaction and forecast of future nurse shortage; in Brazil the problem is the same. The purpose of this study is present the results of a stress management intervention and analyze this impact in a hospital nurse staff. Objectives: To describe a stress intervention using inoculation stress program to reduce the stress and burnout among nurse staff in two hospitals in Brazil and analyze their results. Design: This exploratory descriptive, of quantitative boarding study was developed in two hospitals in São Paulo, Brazil during 2007-2008. A hundred and ten nurses (n=111) participated of the collect data but only 32 nurses concluded the intervention. The data were collected by MIB (Maslach Inventory Burnout), a perceived stress questionnaire (before and pos intervention) and assessment instruments (after intervention) design by the author. At the end of the course an instrument to justified not participation was applied to nurses. The intervention was applied to all groups (four) during job time for six weeks with two hours weekly and the effect size was estimated by Reliable Change Index (RCI). Results: The majority nurses was a low / moderate burnout at the pre and post test; was a positive correlation between perceived stress, depression, anger, smoke compulsion and interesting to participated of the course and diminished personal accomplishment (odds-ratio 2,463). The association between diminished personal accomplishment and sex was positive for male (odd-ratio 5,051). The RCI was positive to 9,4%, for emotional exhaustion, 21,9% for depersonalization and 15,6% for diminished personal accomplishment. Conclusion: The low and moderate degree of burnout found confirm the results of others studies, however the results of RCI and the nurses opinion about the intervention had demonstrated the importance to conduce researches to investigated the reasons why some nurses are burned out while others working at the same environments are not. The educational intervention demonstrated is useful to alert the nurses about the syndrome and offer some strategies to cope with job stressors

Full textAbstract:
Nurse managers face numerous challenges and stressors in their daily practice. The support services offered to managers to facilitate coping in stressful situations vary among employers and may be ineffective depending on the stressors faced. Implementation of evidence-based best practices may positively impact nurse managers' ability to manage stress. The purpose of this project was to develop an evidence-based stress reduction education program to empower nurse managers to handle work-related stressors and reduce burnout. The primary theory used to inform this project was the job demands-resource model, which explains how job demands and resources have multiple effects on job stress, ultimately impacting a worker's level of engagement. Sources of evidence included peer-reviewed journals, evidence-based studies, and published documents or programs. Education was synthesized based upon evidence obtained during the literature review. Consistent with the evidence, topics covered in the education were; nurse manager-initiated methods of stress reduction, methods of modifying a workplace environment to decrease stress, nurse manager peer support, senior leadership involvement in nurse manager stress reduction, and the inclusion of future leader development as a stress management method. The focused learning objectives were nurse manager specific, measurable, and supportive of an adult learner. The social change impacted by this project will be derived from fostering a nurse managers ability to better cope with stressful situations, thus enhancing their role as a nursing leader.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to examine to what extent Dutch GPs are at risk for burnout, and to identify personal, professional and practice related characteristics that are associated with high burn out scores. In the extant literature, physicians are identified as professionals who are high risk for burnout. In the past decade, working conditions for general practitioners (GPs) in the Netherlands have changed for the worse. There are no recent data on GP burnout in the Netherlands. Although much is known in the literature about factors that are associated with burnout and the role job demands and resources play in getting burned out, the extent to which these findings apply in the context of Dutch GPs is unknown.
This study is designed as a quantitative, survey based, empirical study. An invitation to complete an online survey was sent to 4,000 GPs in the Netherlands, of whom close to 1,300 participated in this study (33% response rate). The data were analysed using IBM SPSS 22.0. The data analysis consisted of a descriptive analysis of the data with an emphasis on the outcome of burnout measurements, as well as an inferential analysis of the data with an emphasis on the association between respondents’ characteristics and burnout measurements.
The results from this study indicate, that one in seven practicing Dutch GPs could be classified as burned out with fulltime working GPs reporting an average working week of 62 hours. According to the findings, the amount of hours worked per week is the most important determinant of emotional exhaustion. Variation in emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and professional efficacy can to a large extent be explained by variation in demands (administrative burden, work-home conflict, psychological job demands) and resources (decision latitude, co-worker support and home support). Increased job demands are predominantly associated with emotional exhaustion, while a scarcity of resources predominantly leads to increased depersonalisation and reduced professional efficacy. The findings demonstrate, that a bigger job size, more hours worked and a more responsible position held, are associated with higher experienced demands, which is in turn associated with unfavourable burnout scores, particularly increased emotional exhaustion. Working in a group setting, being professionally active outside of one’s own practice and being in a relationship were found to be associated with increased resources, which is in turn associated with favourable burnout scores, particularly decreased depersonalisation and increased professional efficacy.
Based on the findings of this study, three recommendations for government bodies, healthcare providers and other healthcare stakeholders were formulated: 1) Reduce the length of the working week, predominantly by reducing the number of allocated patients per GP. This recommendation implies an increase in the GP workforce; 2) Undertake a comprehensive analysis of the quantity, type and purpose of administrative duties currently performed by GPs and trim unnecessary paperwork and bureaucracy within the GP practice and 3) Increase co-worker support, either within the GP practice or by using the existing collegiate support infrastructure.

Section A: A literature review was conducted to identify the negative and positive impact that working with adult trauma clients has on therapists. Key theoretical concepts and possible causal mechanisms are summarised and the research evidence supporting these concepts is reviewed. The key limitations to the extant literature and future research are discussed. Section B: Background: Therapists who work with trauma clients are impacted by this work both positively and negatively. However, most studies have tended to focus on the negative impact of the work, the quantitative evidence has been inconsistent, and the research has primarily been conducted outside the UK. Method: An online questionnaire was developed which used a standardised measure to assess compassion satisfaction (CS), burnout, and secondary traumatic stress (STS) in 253 UK therapists working with adult trauma clients. Results: Whilst the majority of therapists scored within the average range for CS and burnout, 70% of scores indicated that they were at high risk of STS. Maturity, time spent engaging in R&D activities, and a higher perceived supportiveness of management and supervision predicted higher potential for CS. Youth and a lower perceived supportiveness of management predicted higher risk of burnout. Higher risk of STS was predicted in therapists engaging in more individual supervision and self-care activities, as well as those who had a personal trauma history. Discussion: These results are discussed in light of previous research. Of particular note is that exposure to trauma stories did not significantly predict STS scores as suggested by STS theory. Contextual and methodological limitations and ideas for future research are highlighted. Section C: A critical appraisal of the research process is summarised which answers the four set questions. A final personal reflection is also given.

The environment in which medical practitioners in South Africa and elsewhere in the world
currently function demands more of them than did any previous period. Medical practitioners
have to cope with the demands that arise from fulfilling various roles - often with limited
resources. Tracking and addressing their effectiveness in coping with new demands and
stimulating their growth in areas that could possibly impact on individual well-being and
organisational efficiency and effectiveness are therefore crucial. Burnout and engagement of
medical practitioners are specific focus areas for research and intervention in this regard. The
objectives of this study were to conceptualise burnout and engagement from the literature and
to determine the association between job stress, burnout and engagement.
A survey design was used to reach the research objectives. The specific design is the cross-sectional
design, whereby a sample of medical practitioners was drawn from a population at
one time. An accidental sample (n = 68) was taken from medical practitioners in South
Africa. Three questionnaires were used in this study, namely the Maslach Burnout Inventory
- Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS), the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) and the
Job Stress Indicator (JSS). Descriptive and multivariate statistics were used to analyse the
data. Effect sizes were used to determine the significance of findings.
The results showed that there is a correlation between vigour and personal accomplishment.
The medical practitioners tested proved to be absorbed in their work and have high levels of
vigour. It shows that stress because of a lack of resources and high job demands leads to
emotional exhaustion. Medical practitioners who do not have relevant resources seem to
become negative, callous and cynical. It also concluded that if medical practitioners do not
have relevant resources and high job demands, the results can be lower energy levels and a
lack of enthusiasm, inspiration and pride in their work. There was a practically significant
relationship between burnout and engagement.
Recommendations for future research are made.Thesis (M.Com. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

Pediatric nurses’ exposure to the suffering of young patients and their families, in addition to high workloads and other workplace stressors, can cause stress and lead to burnout. Burnout is a major cause of nursing staff turnover and this is a serious problem in the face of staff shortages. There has been abundant research on the extrinsic variables leading to burnout in nurses, but very little research has been done on intrinsic variables that can moderate the effects of this stress, such as the personality characteristic of hardiness. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between job stressors, hardiness, and burnout among pediatric nurses, and to test whether hardiness moderates the effect of job stressors on burnout.

Burnout has been associated with the helping professions for many years. Athletic training is a profession that has experienced burnout, with a decline in all athletic training professionals after the age of 30 (Kahanov and Eberman, 2011). This dissertation in practice, not only deals with testing the level of stress in athletic training students but also the implementation of stress reducing strategies and techniques to assist with stress and burnout. Therefore, this research will provide answers as to the levels of stress athletic training students experience. In addition, this research will provide insight on the stress reducing strategies and techniques most useful for this group of athletic training students. The instrument developed for this study was a modification of the Athletic Training Burnout Inventory (ATBI) (Clapper and Harris, 2008). The instrument developed for this dissertation in practice was the Athletic Training Student Burnout Inventory (ATSBI). Questions from the ATBI were modified, removed, and created to provide wording that was appropriate for this group of athletic training students. The ATSBI was administered over four time periods: December 2015, April 2016, September 2016, and December 2016. During the course of the first two administration periods, December 2015 and April 2016, the athletic training students received stress reducing information. During the course of the last two administration periods, September 2016 and December 2016, the athletic training students received stress reducing strategies and techniques and were asked to practice them on a weekly basis. There was a total of eight stress reducing strategies and techniques utilized by this group of athletic training students over the course of the semester. On a weekly basis, the students provided feedback on the stress reducing strategy or technique. The quantitative results showed little statistical significance; however, the qualitative information reported as the most beneficial stress reducing strategies and techniques for this group of athletic training students was the following: listening to music, time usage chart and schedule, coloring, the to-do list, and positive thinking.

The aim of the current study was to determine whether academic burnout/engagement
mediated the relationship between academic obstacles/facilitators and academic performance
within a South African university context. Participants received a web link to an online
survey host in which a questionnaire was presented. The questionnaire included a selfdeveloped
demographic questionnaire, an adapted version of the Student Stress Scale (Da
Coste Leite & Israel, 2011), an adapted version of the Factors of Academic Facilitators Scale
(Salanova, Schaufeli, Martinez, & Breso, 2010), the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student
Scale (Schaufeli, Salanova, Gonzalez-Roma, & Bakker, 2002) and the Utrecht Work
Engagement Scale-Student (Schaufeli, Salanova, et al., 2002). The final sample (n=351)
consisted of both full-time and part-time first year psychology students.
The results of the current study demonstrated that academic obstacles were positively related
to academic burnout while academic burnout was negatively related to academic
performance. Academic facilitators were also negatively related to academic burnout and
positively related to academic engagement. Academic burnout was also found to mediate the
relationship between academic obstacles/facilitators and academic performance. The results
of the study also demonstrated some non-hypothesised, but not unexpected, findings.
Academic burnout, for one, was found to be negatively related to academic engagement. In
addition, the indirect effect between academic obstacles and engagement was negative while
the indirect effect between academic facilitators and engagement was positive. The results of
the current study further demonstrated a novel finding whereby academic performance was
positively related to burnout. Furthermore, the indirect effect between academic burnout and
engagement was positive while the indirect effects between academic burnout and burnout,
academic performance and engagement, and academic performance and performance, were
negative. These findings were supported by previous research within both the work and
student context.
The results of the current study demonstrated, however, that academic engagement was not
significantly related to academic performance and therefore was not a mediator in the
relationship between academic obstacles/facilitators and academic performance. These results
were unexpected given the literature available, however, may have been due to the way in
which academic performance was operationalised within the current study. The implications of the results and the limitations of the current study were discussed, and suggestions for further research were made.

O presente estudo pretende avaliar stress e burnout, identificando qual o grupo de professores que mais experiencia Stress Ocupacional e/ou Burnout, tendo como variáveis independentes, a faixa etária dos docentes e os anos de serviço. Participaram no estudo 139 professores de vários grupos disciplinares, a lecionar desde o pré-escolar ao ensino secundário, sendo 82% dos participantes do sexo feminino e 17,3% do sexo masculino. As idades variaram entre os 30 e os 64 anos, com uma média de praticamente 50-54 anos. A média de anos de serviço variou entre 5 e 39 anos (M=25). Verificamos que a maioria dos professores, (48,2%) lecionam mais do que um nível de ensino. Relativamente aos outros níveis de ensino, 14.4% lecionam apenas o 2º ciclo, 13,7% o 1ºciclo, 5,8% o secundário, 4,3% os cursos profissionais e por fim, 3,6% o pré-escolar. Para recolha de dados foram utilizados vários instrumentos, um questionário sócio-demográfico, o Questionário de Stresse nos Professores (QSP) e o questionário SMBM/MBSM, desenvolvido com o objetivo de avaliar os níveis de “burnout” (esgotamento) no trabalho. Os resultados obtidos apontam para a existência de diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas variáveis independentes faixa etária e anos de serviço tanto a nível das variáveis fadiga física bem como ao nível do stress.
Assim conclui-se que as variáveis independentes faixa etária e anos de serviço apresentam-se como variáveis relevantes para um melhor conhecimento sobre stress e burnout na classe docente, pelo que se espera que este estudo possa servir de sensibilização e reflexão para as instituições educativas e patronais para a importância duma melhoria na qualidade de vida dos seus docentes, enriquecendo o ambiente de trabalho. A este propósito, Jesus (2005) defende a formação de professores como um campo de investigação e de intervenção essencial para a promoção e implementação de medidas e estratégias preventivas promotoras do bem-estar docente.The present study aims to assess stress and burnout, identifying which group of teachers who experience more Occupational Stress and / or Burnout, as independent variables, age and years of teaching service. This essay was based on the testimony of 139 teachers from different school subjects. The selected teachers were from the kindergarten to the secondary level (82% female and 17% male). They were between 30 and 64 years old, with an average of 50-54 years. The years in service varied from 5 to 39 years. Most of the teachers (48,2%) teaches more than one grade level. As far as the other grade levels are concerned, 14,4% of the teachers teach only the preparatory level, 13,7% teach the primary level, 4,3% teach professional courses and 3,6% teach the kindergarten. To collect the data I used several tools: a socio-demographic questionnaire, the Questionnaire of Stress in Teachers (QST) and the questionnaire SMBM/MBSM, made with the intention of evaluating the levels of “burnout” (exhaustion) at work. The results show that there are statistically significant differences in the independent variables of age group and years in service either in physical fatigue or in stress. So, I must conclude that the independent variables of age group and years in service are the most relevant variables to let us have a better knowledge about stress and burnout in teaching class. I hope this study may be an awareness and reflection to the educational and employers institutions to the importance of giving their teachers a better quality of life, enriching the working environment. As far as this is concerned, Jesus (2005) stands up for the formation of teachers, a research and intervention field essential to the promotion and implementation of preventing measures and strategies that may promote the welfare of the teacher.

Dissertação de mestrado em Crime, Diferença e DesigualdadeA profissão de guarda prisional é descrita como sendo das mais stressantes, o que poderá levar ao burnout. Desta forma a presente investigação tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre stress profissional e burnout e seus correlatos em guardas prisionais. Participaram neste estudo 518 guardas prisionais dos diferentes estabelecimentos prisionais do país. O stress profissional e o burnout foram avaliados com uma escala de classificação das fontes organizacionais de stress profissional (Arruda, 2013), e o Inventário de Burnout (Maslach et al., 1996; versão portuguesa, Marques-Pinto & Picado 2011), respetivamente. Foi também aplicado um questionário social, demográfico e profissional (Arruda, 2013). Os resultados indicam que 21,2% dos guardas prisionais registam níveis de burnout elevados. Verificou-se que níveis mais elevados de stress profissional estão relacionados com níveis superiores de burnout. Verificou-se também que o burnout estava relacionado com variáveis sociodemográficas, como a idade e existência de filhos, e com variáveis profissionais como os anos de serviço, a sobrecarga horária e o trabalho por turnos. Estes resultados salientam um conjunto de variáveis do contexto profissional que são geradores de níveis superiores de burnout, devendo ser tidas em consideração na prática profissional.
The correctional officer profession is described as being one of the most stressful, which can lead to burnout. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the relation between professional stress and burnout and its correlates, in correctional officers. 518 correctional officers participated in this study, from different prison establishments in the country. Professional stress and burnout were assessed using a scale for the classification of organizational sources of professional stress (Arruda, 2013) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (Maslach et al., 1996; Portuguese version, Marques-Pinto & Picado 2011), respectively. A social, demographic and professional questionnaire was also used (Arruda, 2013). Results showed that 21,2% of the correctional officers evidenced high burnout levels. Higher levels of professional stress were related with higher levels of burnout. Additionally, burnout was related with sociodemographic variables, such as age and having children, and professional variables, such as number of years of service, hourly overload and working shifts. These results highlight a set of variables from the professional context that generate higher levels of burnout, and should be taken into consideration in the professional practice.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Comunicação em Saúde apresentada à Universidade AbertaResumo - Este trabalho de Investigação surgiu no âmbito da Dissertação de Mestrado em Comunicação em Saúde, da Universidade Aberta. O ponto de partida para esta investigação consistiu em Conhecer quais são os Factores Indutores de Stresse para a Equipa Multidisciplinar Cirúrgica, no Bloco Operatório do Hospital Pulido Valente E.P.E.. De acordo com vários autores que defendem que as profissões de ajuda, onde se inserem os profissionais de saúde, são altamente susceptíveis à síndrome de exaustão, o denominado Burnout, surgiram os seguintes objectivos de investigação: Identificar os factores indutores de stresse para a equipa multidisciplinar; Identificar as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas pela equipa; Sabendo que o Bloco Operatório é um local altamente despersonalizante, que confere aos seus utilizadores diários stresse continuado, não só pela envolvente física, como pelas situações críticas que aí acontecem, foi interessante saber como os profissionais as enfrentam na sua actividade. Assim a questão de partida para este estudo é a seguinte: Quais são os factores indutores de stresse e estratégias de (coping) enfrentamento utilizadas pela equipa multidisciplinar, no bloco operatório do Hospital Pulido Valente E.P.E.? Metodologicamente trata-se de um estudo misto, quantitativo e qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório. A técnica de amostragem foi a não probabilística e intencional ou de conveniência, onde numa primeira parte todos os profissionais utilizadores do bloco operatório responderam ao questionário MBI. Numa segunda parte foram realizadas trinta (30) entrevistas não estruturadas, aos utilizadores dos diferentes grupos profissionais onde se questionava a importância do Bem-estar, a Identificação dos Factores Indutores de Stresse e as Estratégias de Enfrentamento utilizadas. Numa terceira fase, aos mesmos entrevistados, foi pedido que relembrassem uma situação crítica e/ou stressante, que tivessem vivido, onde descrevessem quais os factores de stresse existentes e quais as estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas. Para o tratamento estatístico de dados do teste psicométrico MBI foi utilizado o SPSS 14. Na análise das entrevistas foi utilizado o processo de categorização e análise de conteúdo. Finalmente para a análise dos incidentes críticos foi feita análise de conteúdo e tratamento estatístico com o programa Excel 2003. Os princípios da beneficência e anonimato foram integralmente respeitados na investigação, nomeadamente durante o processo de recolha de dados. Após análise e tratamento dos dados obtidos foram várias as conclusões emergentes neste estudo. Observa-se na análise de dados obtidos a partir da escala MBI que a realização profissional surge com o seu maior valor 33 para os grupos de ambos os sexos da faixa etária dos 18–29. Nesta faixa etária 38% da amostra, onde 24% pertence ao sexo feminino e 14% ao sexo masculino, é mantida a tendência masculina para a despersonalização com um valor médio de 6.6. Verificam-se ainda altos valores de exaustão no grupo de internos de especialidade, com inversão de tendência no género feminino para a despersonalização. Na análise das entrevistas observa-se uma abordagem da importância de bem-estar pela negativa, ou seja, pela sua ausência no dia a dia. Os factores indutores de stresse que sobressaíram dizem respeito às condições e características de trabalho e relações interpessoais. As subcategorias predominantes são a sobrecarga que afecta prioritariamente os enfermeiros e internos e os conflitos e contágio referidos por todos os profissionais. As estratégias de enfrentamento mais utilizadas são o autocontrole como estratégia individual e cooperação e suporte social como estratégias colectivas. Quanto aos incidentes críticos pode observar-se que a sobrecarga, as relações interdisciplinares e os recursos são os factores indutores de stresse a que os profissionais se mostram mais sensíveis. O autocontrole continua a ser a estratégia individual mais utilizada e nas colectivas surge a clarificação, a desvalorização e por fim a cooperação. Em suma, pode aferir-se, que os profissionais estão despertos para a temática embora por vezes não mobilizem adequadamente os recursos que tem ao dispor para enfrentar o stresse profissional, contribuindo para um maior indice de exaustão. O trabalho interdisciplinar como o desenvolvido pelos técnicos de saúde em bloco operatório onde o contágio de stresse prolifera e a estratégia colectiva de evitamento tende a dominar pode ser gerador de stresse colectivo, deteriorando as relações interpessoais e diminuindo a realização profissional conduzindo a situações de exaustão e despersonalização. Neste sentido urge criar recursos de suporte/apoio social que apoiem a equipa interdisciplinar, para este sector profissional. O reconhecimento social das fragilidades dos profissionais de saúde é importante para a formação de novos elementos mais vocacionada para a realidade existente nos serviços de saúde, a capacitação dos vários grupos de tecnicos de saúde em temáticas como a gestão de stresse e conflitos e ainda contribuir para a adequação ambiental dos serviços de saúde à actividade profissional aí desenvolvida

Full textAbstract:
The central issue of this thesis is the problem of stress in social work
education, and its contribution to subsequent burnout in social work practitioners.
To investigate this problem, the study was structured according to five interrelated
key research questions, as outlined in Chapter One. The first research
question asks to what extent what Tobin and Carson (1994) have referred to as
"insidious pervasive stresses" emanate from the following sources: (i)
professional identity formation process (social work idealised image and role
value conflict); (ii) the reasons students chose social work; (iii) students'
performance expectations; and (iv) stresses from the course that are part of the
professional education process. The second research question examines the extent
to which the kind and level of course related stress experienced by social work
students explains the variation in their physical and psychological health. The
third research question aims to determine if there is a difference in the level of
physical and psychological health of Australian social work students and
Australian social work practitioners. The fourth research question examines
whether the physical and psychological health of social work practitioners is
negatively correlated with the magnitude of burnout experienced. The fifth
research question considers the extent to which social work practitioners' age, job
satisfaction, years of experience and average working hours, in addition to
burnout, explain the variation in their physical and psychological health.
In addition to these five key research questions, a series of clarifying,
supporting or elaborating questions are developed in the literature review
(Chapter Two). Where appropriate, they have been converted into substantive
operational hypotheses in Chapter Three, which details the study's methodology.
Chapter Four (Student Results) presents the results of the questionnaires
administered in relation to aspects of their social work course. Chapter Five
(Practitioners and Students: Comparative Results and Predictive Analysis)
compares the physical and psychological health of social work students with the
health of social work practitioners, and provides a predictive analysis of the
variations of the health of the two groups. Chapter Six discusses the results of the
study, in terms of some of the significant implications of its findings, particularly
in relation to social work course design and areas that warrant further
investigation.
Overall, the study concludes that a significant proportion of social work
students are psychologically distressed by their course experience, particularly in
terms of course design, role value conflict and the degree of idealisation of the
social work role. A very strong association with burnout was found among social
work practitioners when they experienced a similar level of psychological distress
as that experienced by students. Finally, suggestions are made for ways in which
social work course managers may constructively deal with these issues.

O Burnout é um conceito multidimensional e é definido como “um síndroma psicológico de exaustão emocional, despersonalização e reduzida realização profissional e pode ocorrer em indivíduos que trabalhem com outras pessoas (Maslach e Jackson, 1986).
O facto de não existirem estudos referentes ao Burnout em contexto angolano, constituiu uma das motivações para a realização do estudo. Destinou-se também contribuir para a validação dos instrumentos utilizados.
A presente dissertação pretende analizar:
Quais as dimensões do Burnout que são mais evidenciadas pelos profissionais de saúde do Hospital Ngola Kimbanda;
Se o género, o tempo de experiência profissional na organização, o tempo no actual cargo, ter segundo emprego, o grupo profissional, o cargo actual e o ajustamento com determinadas áreas da vida laboral influenciam o Burnout percepcionado pelos profissionais de saúde desta unidade hospitalar.
Para tal, através de uma amostra de 44 profissionais de saúde angolanos aplicaram-se três questionários: o MBI-HSS (Maslach Burnout Inventory - Human Services Survey); “Areas of Worklife Scale” e um questionário sociodemográfico que, juntos, permitirão identificar outros factores que poderão estar na origem do Burnout e concluir, através do tratamento dos dados em SPSS, se a população em estudo apresenta ou não os níveis de Burnout.Burnout is a multidimensional concept and is also defined as "a psychological syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced professional accomplishment and may occur in individuals who work with others people. (Maslach and Jackson, 1986). The fact that, there aren´t studies about Burnout in Angolan context, was one of the reassons to make this investigation. The main goal was also ro contribute to the validation of the instruments. This dissertation aims to analyze: What are the dimensions of Burnout that are most valued by professionals healthcare of the Hospital Ngola Kimbanda; If sex, time of professional experience in organization, time in actual position, having another job, professional group, the current position and areas of working life influence Burnout perceived by health professionals in this hospital. Through a sample of 44 health professionals Angolans, have applied three questionnaires: the MBI-HSS (Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey), "Areas of Worklife Scale Manual and a sociodemographic questionnaire, which together will allow to identify other factors, that which may be the cause of Burnout, and to conclude by handling data in SPSS, if the population under study presented or not the levels of Burnout.

This study’s aim is to delve into the relationships among kindergarten teacher’s Job stress, performance and burnout. The research sample consists of 100 teachers from public and private kindergartens registered in Yunlin County. They are required to receive surveys of “Kindergarten Teachers’ Job stress Scale”, “Kindergarten Teachers’ Job stress Corresponding Strategies Scale”, “Kindergarten Teachers’ Performance Appraisal Scale”, and “Kindergarten Teachers’ Burnout Scale”. The important findings from the study are as follows: 1.Teachers from different types of kindergartens shows various pressure levels on interpersonal relationship types of work. 2.Kindergarten teachers can apply to strategies of adjustment and asking for help to relieve the pressure of work. 3.Kindergarten teachers with different age, seniority, education background, and marital status show no difference in terms of performance. However, Teachers from different types of kindergartens shows different performance on entire types of work. 4.Kindergarten teachers with different seniority, education background, and marital status show no difference in terms of occupational burnout. However, Teachers with different age shows different levels of burnout. 5.There is low moderate significant multiple correlation between Kindergarten teachers’ pressure and performance. 6.There is low moderate significant correlation between Kindergarten teachers’ pressure and burnout. 7.There is low and moderate significant correlation between Kindergarten teachers’performance and burnout. 8.Combing job stress and pressure corresponding strategies can predict which accounted for 28.52% of kindergarten teachers' performance. 9.Combing job stress,corresponding strategies and performance can predict which accounted for 39.68% of kindergarten teachers' burnout. Suggestions: 1.The Aspects of Kindergarten’s Running and Management （1）Enforce the way of communicating with students’ parents. （2）Teachers have confidence in their ability. 2.The Aspect of More Research （1）Increase the range of sampling. （2）Researchers in the future can assist “The Research of Quality.”
