The purpose of this study is to examine the burnout levels of basketball players in terms of gender, age and experience. A total of 270 (124 female and 146 male) basketball players (age mean x = 23.07 ± 1.28 years) participated in the study. Maslach’s Burnout Inventory was developed by Maslach and Jackson (1981) and adapted to Turkish by Ergin (1992) was used to measure the burnout levels of basketball players for collecting data. The data were analyzed with SPSS program. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated to test the internal consistency of the scale. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for paired group comparisons. The Kruskal Wallis H test was used for the multiple group comparisons. When Mann Whitney U test results were examined, Emotional Exhaustion (p = .063, p> .05), Depersonalization (p = .498, p> .05) and Personal Accomplishment (p = .599, p> .05), there was no significant difference between male and female basketball players according to gender. According to Kruskall Wallis H test results, the variables of emotional exhaustion (p = .162, p> .05), Depersonalization (p=.319, p>.05) and Personal Accomplishment (p = .284, p> .05) no significant difference was observed. According to Kruskall Wallis H test results, there was no significant difference in Personal Accomplishment (p = .674, p> .05) sub-dimensions according to experience variable. However, significant differences were found in the subscales of Emotional Exhaustion (p = .002, p <.05) and Depersonalization (p = .033, p <.05) compared to the experience variable. As a result, the level of burnout is important for the experience of basketball players.

AbstractBackground: The purpose of the following research was to find out the influence of imaginary training based on intention implementation on throw effectiveness of young basketball players, both male and female in stressogenic situations. Individual differences (action vs state orientation) between players were also measured in this research.Material/Methods: 76 players (32 females and 44 males) in the cadet category (15-16 years old) from basketball clubs of Gdansk, Gdynia and Sopot took part in this research. In the first stage all players did a throw efficiency test ERPE 05 under two conditions, and their heart rate was measured. Then players were randomly assigned to one of two groups. The first one did imaginary training based on the influence of intention implementation for 10 days, while the other did not. After 10 days ERPE 05 test under two conditions was run again.Results: Test results showed that intention implementation does not influence effectiveness improvement in stressogenic conditions as far as state-oriented players are concerned, but it does lower the physiological cost of physical effort in form of a decreased heart rate.Conclusions: This research proves that visualization training based on implementation instructions does influence young players’ physiology and significantly lowers their heart rate under stressogenic conditions. However useful, visualization techniques used in this research still need other tests and should be applied for a longer period of time to acutely show how they affect young players’ mental preparation

The purpose of this study was to examine the job satisfaction and professional burnout levels of the national and international wrestling referees in terms of various factors in Turkey.The method of the study was the descriptive method. The study group consists of 126 international and national wrestling referees on active duty in 2010-2011 wrestling season. The questionnaire form was used as the data collection tool in the study. The questionnaire form consists of 3 sections, which are the Personal Information Form, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, and the Job Satisfaction Scale. It was observed abnormal distribution of dates of inventory and scale according to the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test. Due to this reason, the Mann-Whitney U Test was used for the two independent samples test in analyzing the data; the Kruskal-Wallis H Test and the Mann-Whitney U Tests with Bonferroni correction were used for multiple comparisons; and the Spearman Correlation was used in analyzing the relations. The critical point for the significance value was accepted as α=0.05It was determined in the light of the findings of the study that the job satisfaction of the wrestling referees were at the medium level; the emotional exhaustion levels were high; the depersonalization levels were medium; and personal accomplishment  levels were low. Significant difference was found among the depersonalization levels of the referees according to the referee categories of the wrestling referees (p<0,05). A significant difference has been found among the monthly average income levels and the emotional exhaustion levels of the wrestling referees (p<0,05). A significant difference was also determined among the viewpoints of the referees on the financial income of the referees and the job satisfaction levels according to the social status (p<0,05). In addition, a reverse, significant and weak relation was found between the job satisfaction and emotional exhaustion levels of the referees (r= -0,255, p<0,01); a reverse, significant and weak relation between the depersonalization (r= -0,97, p<0,01); and a weak positive relation was determined between the personal accomplishment levels (r= 0,341, p<0,01).As a result, the national and international wrestling referees in Turkey do not have adequate satisfaction from being referees, and are experiencing professional burnout. As the job satisfaction levels of the wrestling referees increase, depersonalization levels and emotional exhaustion levels decrease, and personal accomplishment levels increase.

Teachers' experience emotional exhaustion and develop a cynical attitude toward teaching and students (depersonalization). Feelings of exhaustion and ineffectiveness continue as mental and physical resources are depleted in the pursuit of unreachable and sometimes unrealistic goals (Maslach, Schaefeli & Leiter 2001).The teacher then experiences a reduction in accomplishments, leaving him or her with a loss of self-esteem and dissatisfaction with these job accomplishments. This chain of event ultimately interferes with the burnout in teacher's ability to continue to meet teaching demands. Thus, the three dimensions of the burnout syndrome: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and a reduced sense of personal accomplishment, begins. Consequences of teacher burnout can lead to feelings of hopelessness, absenteeism, increased turnover, and decreased job performance. The results of current study indicated that male primary school teachers score higher mean scores than female teachers in depersonalization than female teachers had of personal accomplishment. No significant difference between private and government primary school teachers with reference to job burnout were found. However private school teachers feel more emotional exhaustion as compared to their counterparts in government schools.

Background: Growth and development are two different but interrelated and difficult to separate factors. The growth spurt in boys is different from girls. Facial growth is closely related to overall body growth, one of which is the growth of the cervical vertebrae. Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the anteroposterior dimensions of the face based on the maturation levels of cervical vertebrae in 12-14 years old children. Method: Quantitative research using an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 21 boys and 21 girls. Measurement of anteroposterior facial length (S-A' and PTM-A) and assessment of cervical vertebral bone maturation level using the Hassel and Farman method. Results: Independent t-test results showed that there was a significant difference (p <0.05) in facial length (S-A') between male and female subjects at all maturation levels of cervical vertebrae. There was a significant difference (p <0.05) in facial length (S-A') based on the maturation level of the cervical vertebrae (CVMS) in male subjects. Independent t-test results showed that there was a significant difference in facial length (PTM-A) based on the maturation level of cervical vertebrae in female subjects (p <0.05). Conclusion: There was a difference in facial length (S-A ') between male and female subjects at all maturation levels of the cervical vertebrae. There is a difference in facial length (S-A') based on the maturation level of the cervical vertebrae (CVMS) in male subjects. There are differences in anteroposterior facial length (PTM-A) based on the maturation level of the cervical vertebrae in female subjects. There is a relationship between the maturation level of the cervical vertebrae with the anteroposterior dimensions of the face S-A' and PTM-A in male subjects.

Background: Physician burnout has garnered increased attention in recent studies. It is attributed to the intrinsic stresses of medical practice and affects the quality of patient care. Previous studies have reported roughly half of orthopedic surgery and anesthesiology faculty and residents suffer symptoms of burnout. Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a significant difference in burnout rates among orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists, between faculty and residents in both specialties, and possible associated factors that may predispose participants to experience burnout.     Methods: Data was gathered using the Maslach Burnout inventory survey (42 questions), which was distributed during the spring/summer of 2017 to orthopaedic surgery and anesthesiology residents and attending physicians, anesthesiology residents, orthopedic surgery faculty, and orthopedic surgery residents from various programs in the northeastern United States. Results: Survey Response rate was 238/666 = 38% response. As compared to attendings, residents scored: worse on Emotional Exhaustion; worse on Depersonalization and worse on Personal Accomplishment. When comparing specialties; for Emotional Exhaustion, Orthopaedic surgery scored better as compared with Anesthesiology. On Personal Accomplishment, Orthopaedic surgery scored better as compared with Anesthesiology. Residents had higher levels of burnout compared to attendings. Regarding specialty, Orthopaedic surgery scored significantly lower with regard to Emotional Exhaustion and Personal Accomplishment. It was also discovered that Orthopaedic surgeons overall have more social events, and more residents have mentors. Conclusion: Residents consistently demonstrated higher levels of burnout than attendings in both anesthesiology and orthopaedic surgery. Having a mentor and more interdepartmental social events may protect against burnout.

Introduction. Burnout syndrome is the result of chronic emotional stress. It is characterized by high levels of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and reduced level of personal accomplishment. The aim of this study was to determine the level of stress and risk for burnout syndrome in doctors employed in health centers and hospitals, and to investigate the impact of socio-demographic characteristics on the level of stress and the occurrence of burnout syndrome. Material and Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the period from October 1 to December 31, 2015 in three health centers and in the University Clinical Center of the Republic of Srpska. The survey was anonymous. A socio-demographic questionnaire and a questionnaire for self-assessment of the level of stress and Maslach Burn?out Inventory were used as research instruments. Out of 151 doctors included in the study, 49% were family physicians, and 51% were hospital doctors. Results. The analysis of responses to questionnaires for self-assessment of stress level revealed that 51.7% of participants had high levels of stress (52.7% of family physicians, 50.6% of doctors working in hospital). A high degree of emotional exhaustion was found in 27.2% of participants (29.7% of family physicians, 24.6% of doctors working in hospital), high depersonalization was found in 23.8% of participants (25.7% of family physicians, 22.1% of doctors working in hospital), a low level of personal accomplishment was found in 39.7% of participants (37.8% of family physicians, 41.6% of doctors working in hospital). No statistically significant difference regarding stress degree, emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and personal accomplishment was found between hospital doctors and family physicians. The physicians aged over 45 years had a significantly (p = 0.030) higher level of emotional exhaustion than their younger colleagues. Conclusion. This study found that there was a high risk of burnout syndrome in physicians in the Republic of Srpska. Although the exposure to professional stress was higher in family physicians than in hospital doctors, the obtained difference was not statistically significant.

Objectives: This study determined the effectiveness of music as a burnout reduction strategy to clinical instructors in Southwestern University, Cebu City, Cebu, Philippines. The findings were the basis for a proposed faculty burnout management strategy.Specifically, the study answered the following inquiries:1.What is the profile of the clinical instructors in terms of:1.1.age;1.2.gender;1.3.civil status;1.4.highest educational attainment;1.5.monthly income; 1.6.number of years in service? 2.What is the pre-test and post-test levels of the burnout among the clinical instructors in the control and experimental groups in terms of:2.1. emotional exhaustion;2.2. depersonalization; and2.3. lack of personal accomplishment?3.Is there a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test levels of burnout among the clinical instructors.4.What are the perceived work-related stressors of the clinical instructors?5.What will be the proposed faculty burnout strategy based on the findings of the study? Methods:This study utilized the experimental design. A stratified random sample of 20 clinical instructors in a control group and 20 clinical instructors in an experimental group completed the Maclach’s Burnout Inventory (MBI) which measured emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and lack of personal accomplishment. The MBI was administered to the respondents before, after the third week, and after the fifth week of exposing the experimental group to classical music and the control group to no music. The perceived work-related stressors of the clinical instructors were also investigated through a focus group discussion. Findings and Conclusion:Majority of the respondents in the experimental group and half of those in the control group are 24-29 years old. In both groups, most are females, married, and have BSN degrees with MAN units. In both groups, more than half of them have an average income of 15,000 to 20,000 Philippine pesos and has served the college for 0-5 years.The emotional exhaustion of the experimental group was moderate and the control group was low. On depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment, both groups were low.The experimental group’s emotional exhaustion level after exposure to classical music for three weeks was moderate, while the control group was low. On depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment, both groups were low.After the fifth week, the experimental group’s emotional exhaustion was moderate, while the control group was low. On depersonalization and lack of personal accomplishment, both groups were low.After exposing the experimental group to classical music for five weeks, it was statistically revealed that there was no significant difference in the pre-test and post-test burnout levels for the two groups.The perceived work-related stressors of the clinical instructors were: conflicts with colleagues; six work days and graduate study classes; assignment in new clinical areas; proper channeling of concerns/conflicts with immediate heads; unfair distribution of loads; lecture loads given with shorter time to prepare; and being forced to stay in the facility/office for the whole eight hours.In conclusion, the use of classical music is not an effective strategy in reducing the burnout level of clinical instructors.
