El objetivo de la presente investigación fue conocer la relación funcional entre el clima laboral y el síndrome de burnout en profesores universitarios de una universidad pública de Perú. La muestra estuvo constituida por 206 profesores; nombrados (80.1%) y contratados (19.9%); varones (79.6%) y mujeres (20.4%). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron: el Cuestionario de burnout para docentes universitarios adaptado por Arquero y Donoso a partir del Inventario de Burnout de Maslach y la Escala de Clima Laboral de Palma. Se utilizó el análisis factorial confirmatorio para verificar la validez y fiabilidad. Se encontró que el nivel del clima laboral fue promedio (x ̅=138.8 puntos); los profesores presentaron burnout de nivel medio (x ̅=115.8 puntos). A través del modelo de ecuaciones estructurales, se encontró que el factor supervisión del clima laboral está relacionado con la dimensión de despersonalización del burnout. Asimismo, realizar varios trabajos remunerados genera mayor nivel de burnout (p=0.040). Se concluye que existe relación negativa y estadísticamente significativa entre el clima laboral y el burnout. Asimismo, clima laboral predice los niveles de síndrome de burnout (AGFI=0.991) en los profesores universitarios. El estudio sugiere la implementación de programas de intervención ocupacional y organizacional The objective of this research was to know the functional relationship between the work environment and the burnout syndrome in university professors from a public university in Peru. The sample consisted of 206 teachers; males (79.6%) and females (20.4%); appointed (80.1%) and hired (19.9%). The instruments used were: The Burnout Questionnaire for university teachers adapted by Arquero and Donoso from the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Palma Work Climate Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to verify validity and reliability. It was found that the level of the work environment was average (x ̅ = 138.8 points); the teachers presented medium level burnout (x ̅ = 115.8 points). Through the structural equations model, it was found that the supervisory factor of the work environment is related to the depersonalization dimension of burnout. Likewise, performing various paid jobs generates a higher level of burnout (p = 0.040). It is concluded that there is a negative and statistically significant relationship between the work environment and burnout. Likewise, the work environment predicts the levels of burnout syndrome (AGFI = 0.991) in university professors. The study suggests the implementation of occupational and organizational intervention programs

Objective To identify the prevalence and factors associated with the Burnout Syndrome in physicians working in the Public Hospitals Authority (PHA), Nassau, Bahamas. Methods A cross-sectional study was done in 2014 utilising a self-administered survey comprising of demographics, general health, work environment, and Maslach Burnout Inventory items to assess burnout among physicians working in nine (9) departments of PHA. The IBM SPSS (v. 20.0 or more current) Statistical Analyses software was used for data analysis. Results The study participants were 153 physicians. Their mean age was 35.84 (± 7.09) years old; median 34.00 (IQR: 31.00, 40.00) years old, 99 (64.7%) were females. No associations were found among these, other socio-demographic variables measured and burnout status. Physicians in the department of Internal Medicine represented 34 (22.2%), Family Medicine 31 (20.3%), Emergency Medicine 30 (19.6%), Paediatrics 21 (13.7%), and physicians in other departments 34 (22.3%). Of the physicians employed under the PHA, 55.7% collectively exhibited burnout. Poor balance of family life, 15 work environment potential stressors and 4 potential stress relievers were found to each be weakly or very weakly related to burnout status. Postgraduate programme year, irregular sleep pattern and lack of appreciation were moderately strong positively related. Logistic regression analysis showed the key predictors of burnout status to be lack of appreciation (OR=1.69, p=.002) and number of years worked post-internship (OR=.94, p=.039). Conclusion: Physician’s sense of appreciation and number of years post internship were clear predictors of burnout.

AimTo estimate the contribution of social support and demographic factors in the development of burnout syndrome in dentistry students.MethodA total of 169 Brazilian students participated via internet. For identification of the syndrome, we used the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-SS). Social support was assessed by the Satisfaction with Social Support Scale (ESSS). The validity and reliability of the instruments were estimated. To check the effect of variables on burnout syndrome, linear regression using structural equation modelling (SEM) was performed to estimate causal trajectories (β).ResultsThe participants’ mean average age was 21.6 (SD = 3.3) years, 64.5% were female and 59.2% were enrolled in private schools. An appropriate adjustment of the instruments’ factor models to sample was observed (MBI-SS: χ²/df = 2.173, CFI = .943; GFI = .888; RMSEA = .084; ESSS: χ²/df = 2.378, CFI = .904; GFI = .888; RMSEA = .091). The reliability of the scales was adequate (MBI-SS: α = .799-.903; ESSS: α = .653-.799). The model explained 33% of the variation of burnout with a significant contribution of social support (ESSS) (β = -.136, p = .042), gender (β = -.186, p = .005), housing (β = .124, p = .050), student performance in the course (β = -.293, p ≤ .001) and the thought of quitting the course (β = .333, p ≤ .001).ConclusionSocial support and demographic variables may play an important role in the burnout syndrome and therefore should be considered when implementing preventive actions and/or interventions (self-help or guided) in college students.

The present study set out to define and contrast an explanatory model of perception of stress, the dimensions of burnout syndrome, emotional intelligence, and non-verbal communication in a sample of university teachers. A total of 1316 teachers from Spain, aged between 24 and 70 years (M = 45.64, SD = 10.33) and evenly distributed between both sexes, participated. The measurement instruments employed were the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24), and the Nonverbal Immediacy Scale (NIS) A structural equation model was produced that demonstrated adequate fit to the empirical data (130,259; df = 9; p < 0.001; CFI = 0.907; NIF = 0.914; IFI = 0.923; RMSEA = 0.077). Results revealed that stress relates positively with emotional exhaustion and negatively with personal fulfilment. Emotional exhaustion was associated directly with emotional attention and inversely with emotional clarity and emotional repair, with these being linked to personal fulfilment. Both emotional clarity and repair related positively with non-verbal communication. Conclusions from the present study are that emotional intelligence and body language are two relevant factors in the prevention of burnout syndrome, and as a result can help to ensure the mental wellbeing of university teachers.

The main contribution of this paper is the development of the job-family incivility scale. This paper seeks to explore the complex inter-relationships between workplace incivility and family incivility dimensions of job-family incivility by examining the dynamic processes by which job-family incivility is initiated and sustained using a scale development approach. In doing so, the paper highlights the absence of valid and reliable measures that estimate the compound effect of workplace incivility and family incivility – referred to as job-family incivility. A scale development process introduced by Quazi et al. (2016) is presented and stages in the construction of the scale are discussed including measures of validity and reliability. The findings of the study demonstrate the validity and reliability of the job-family incivility scale developed by the current researchers. The main aims of this research are to emphasize the impact of workplace incivility and family incivility on the employees in the work environment, and to discuss the techniques that can be used to mitigate such detrimental activities.

Abstract Background Work stress is associated with a wide range of mental and physical symptoms and presents a challenge in public health. In this study, we highlighted burnout syndrome and musculoskeletal pain. The main goal was to test the efficacy of an intervention based on compensatory workplace exercises in the reduction of burnout levels and musculoskeletal pain. The questions were: 1) How high are the levels of burnout and musculoskeletal pain before the intervention? 2) Does the intervention contribute to reduce the levels of burnout and musculoskeletal pain? Methods This study was conducted in a hospital and employed a pre pos-test design using the following measures: Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. The participants are 49 administrative employees, 61.2% females with a mean age of 38.3 years (SD = 11.6). The intervention program consisted of 18 sessions of compensatory workplace exercises, held for five weeks, with a frequency of three sessions per week. Results In relation to burnout, the results obtained before the intervention (mean values) suggest moderate Exhaustion (2.50±0.94), higher Cynicism (3.27±0.92) and lower Professional Efficacy (1.81±0.41). Concerning musculoskeletal pain, it was more prevalent in the shoulders (69.4%) and back (upper 67.3% and lower 65.3%), followed by the thighs and neck (both 61.2%). After intervention, the results showed a significant (p &lt; 0.05) decrease of burnout and all musculoskeletal symptoms evaluated. Conclusions The results support the effectiveness of the compensatory workplace exercises in the reduction of burnout and musculoskeletal symptoms contributing to mental and physical health of the workers involved. This study was innovative due to the studied link between burnout and compensatory workplace exercises. Moreover, this study led to changes in the hospital, which implemented better practices for a healthier life of the workers. Key messages The intervention based on compensatory workplace exercises reduced burnout and musculoskeletal pain in a sample of administrative employees and had impact in the health policies of the hospital. The implemented intervention promoted workers' physical and mental health and led to better health practices in the hospital.

Abstract Background Burnout syndrome is a frequent syndrome related to people that feel a deterioration in their daily activities due to highly demandant psychological requirements in their workplaces. Within last decades, this syndrome has been studied across medical professionals, concluding that stress levels that physicians suffer is high enough to make them develop burnout syndrome. In the case of medical students, there are some recent studies, although with small samples. For this reason, given that this phenomenon may produce a huge impact in medical students’ development, the aim of this study is to analyze the influential factors that may contribute to its occurrence. Methods The necessary information was gathered through a web-based questionnaire, divided in two parts. The first part of the survey included questions related to personal aspects of the students. Burnout related questions (second part) were divided in three subscales to evaluate exhaustion, cynicism, and academic efficacy levels. Results Family support for studying medicine is associated with lower burnout levels in all three scales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The number of years spent in the degree show the opposite trend: the more years in the degree, the higher score in all burnout scales. Conclusions Burnout syndrome is a problem among medical students in Spain that increases with the number of years studying medicine. It should be also noticed that family support and vocational studies are independent factors related to lower levels of burnout.
