MBI-GS was developed in 1996 for persons in other occupations. It is the last scale that has been developed and includes 16 items, which also makes it the shortest version. The MBI-GS is the burnout inventory that is utilized for all professions. According to Bria, Spanu, Baban, and Dumitrascu (2014), the MBI-GS was developed in response to the professional interest in burnout among workers who do not work in demanding social roles. Moreover, this scale was created to fit a broader range of personal roles at work than the other two versions. This inventory is becoming the most popular form of the scales because of its general nature that can be applied to a wide variety of occupations (Makikangas, Hatinen, Kinnuen, & Pekkonen, 2011). …show more content…
The MBI-HSS is an accepted measure to evaluate burnout among individuals that work with persons that cope with intellectual disability and dementia (Chao, McCallion, & Nickle, 2011). According to Chao, McCallion, and Nickle (2011), the MBI-HSS is the burnout measure that is superior in distinguishing between burnout and other mental health syndromes such as depression or anxiety. Lent and Schwartz (2012) examined the external and internal factors that can affect burnout. Approximately 340 professionals completed an online survey of the MBI-HSS and the International Personality Item Pool. Results of the study indicated that working in community mental health settings may result in increased burnout. Burnout has been studied throughout various fields utilizing all three of the MBI inventories. Though work provides a meaningful structure to life, it can cause stress for many due to multiple factors that are present on the job. Loera, Converso, and Viotti (2014) indicated that work related stress is a factor that affects burnout. Likewise, when stress it not managed properly among workers and become long term burnout can occur (Devereux, Hastings, & Noone, 2009). There are various work stress models that describe how workers are affected by stress on the

Burnout is frequently found in the Human Services field due to its emotionally and mentally demanding nature. “According to experts, the causes of Burnout include heavy caseloads, unrealistic timeframes, low pay, and adverse working conditions.” In 1996, Burnout had become so prevalent that the National Association of Social Work felt the need to address it and added it to the NASW Code of Ethics. So what do we, as newcomers, need to be prepared for?
The article examined many studies conducted to measure stress and burnout in nurses and found that the environment and conditions in the workplace have a great deal to do with the perceived stress levels. In the article, it speaks of the definition of stress as being a negative factor that is perceived to pose a threat to the perceiver. This definition goes on to state that one person may see an event as stressful, while another may view the same situation as exhilarating. The important part of this “new definition” is that we can choose, by manipulation of our attitudes, to view our lives as stress filled or an enjoyable ride. One’s perception is a big factor in workplace stress.
Researchers have linked burnout as a contributing factor health conditions such as sleep disturbances, decreased immune system. Professions that are prone to burnout are those who require a great deal of contact and responsibility of other people. Among those professions are teachers, nurses, physicians, social workers, therapists, police, an...
Burnout is a highly unusual type of stress disorder that is essentially characterized by emotional exhaustion, lack of empathy with patients, depersonalization, and a reduced sense of personal accomplishments. The nature of the work that healthcare practitioners perform predisposes them to emotional exhaustion. On the other hand, the lack of empathy towards patients is caused by the nurses feeling that they are underpaid and unappreciated. Numerous researches have associated burnout with the increasing rate of nurse turnover. This paper explores the causes of burnouts in nurses as well as what can be done to prevent the them.

The nursing profession is one of the most physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing career fields. Working long shifts, placing other’s needs before your own, dealing with sickness and death on a regular basis, and working in a high stress environment are all precursors to developing occupational burnout in the nursing profession. Burnout refers to physical, emotional and mental exhaustion, which can lead to an emotionally detached nurse, who feels hopeless, apathetic, and unmotivated. Burnout extends beyond the affected nurse and begins to affect the care patients receive. Researchers have found that hospitals with high burnout rates have lower patient satisfaction scores (Aiken et al 2013). There are various measures that nurses can take
To complete this concept analysis, the concept was defined and a literature search was performed. For the purposes of the paper, role stress was the concept and it was defined as “any physical or psychological strain experienced by an individual, who needs greater abilities or resources than available, in order to perform the role which has revealed disparity to the expected role currently being practiced, through an appraisal” (Riahi, 2011, pg. 1). 725). These tools are not great for primary prevention needs (Riahi, 2011). Model Case A model case is an example that uses the concept and combines all the defining attributes of that concept and presented in the literature is the case of Nurse Sarah and nurse Joe.
The purpose of this study is to help find a cure to burn out. The word cure is used here because it is an illness. Burnout like many other illness out there has symptoms, as mentioned earlier burnout can cause many issues like physiological problems, sleep disorder and overall feeling of fatigue. Finding a way to end this affliction is key to everyone in the social work field and the ones affected by social workers.
Burnout has become a major social, cultural and health issue. It has also become globally significant. It affects all kinds of people regardless of their age, race, gender, etc. It can occur at any stage in one’s life and affect them on a physical, emotional, social or cultural level. There is a lot of stigma associated with burnout in the society. Education is key to break the stigma. The risk for burnout has risen significantly in certain occupations, notably in the field of human services. Self-awareness as well as awareness of others is important to identify the problem and treat it in the most suitable manner. This paper considers understanding burnout by examining a few
Happell, Martin, and Pinikahana (2007) also argue in their research that “despite the strength of discourse and debate in relation to stress and burnout in psychiatric nursing, limited research has been conducted in this area” (p. 40). Although a handful of studies (Cañadas et al., 2013, Dickinson and Wright, 2008; Happell, Martin, and Pinikahana, 2007, Ewers et al., 2001) agree that burnout reduces employee effectiveness which can compromise quality of care provided for the patient, there is still little research and support in this
However, in recent years, burnouts have been noticed outside of work: marriages, athletes, but in particular, students. When being examined, students were ranked middle to upper level of the burnout scale compared to educators, counselors, nurses and, emergency medical service (EMS) responders. This has indicated that students are experiencing burnouts during their learning process. Student burnout can lead to a high number of absences, less motivation to do work that is required, or even drops out of school. This is evident that student burnout has a negative impact on academic learning. There are several reasons on the importance of student burnout: student burnout may be the underlying key to understanding student behaviors during their studies, student burnout may also influence their relationships, and the frequency of student burnout may affect the general reputation of the institution for new students. Student academic burnout has been explored in the relation of three factors. Those factors are as listed: a low sense of achievement; the decline feeling of proficiency and the want to be able to succeed, depersonalization; the unsettling feelings of detachment, and emotional exhaustion; the feeling of your inner resources being drained. As a college student that has experienced academic burnout, I can say that the three factors; a low sense of achievement, depersonalization, and emotional exhaustion are all true. The feeling of academic burnout is tiring. It makes you feel as if you are weak, and all you want to do is sleep. Academic burnout feels as if all of a sudden you can’t comprehend anything and there is a fog that you cannot see beyond. Academic burnout, however, is not just because of me not understanding the
Improving job satisfaction and productivity is an issue which is imperative among all employees and workplaces. There are various issues contributing to the decrease of job satisfaction including conflict, issues with pay, stress and workplace training. Low productivity rates and unsatisfied employees increase the risk for absenteeism and employee turnover. Occupational stress can often occur in the workplace, leading to an increased rate of ab...
...dinal designs. Burnout is a significant issue in mental health, not just for its workers but also for the extensive range of issues for the organisations as well as the clients they serve. There is a pressing call for additional, future development and studies of burnout intervention and prevention programmes, with the scales of burnout levels defined and validated to determine the effectiveness of lowering the levels of burnout to a sub-threshold level. Future programmes should also take the individual-organisational approach since such programmes display high efficacy. Also, while great deal of the studies measure upon the factors based on the individual workers, researchers should also look into the effects on consumers, taking into account that burnout reductions will improve the quality, quantity, and outcomes of services to people with mental health disorders.
Today the world is at fast pace and people are having a lot of pressures and demands at workplace. A person who suffers from pressures or stresses in other words, their normal psychological and physiological well-being also gets affected. Stress is a body’s process of responding to a task [1]. Stress typically defines a negative condition or a positive condition that can have an influence on a person’s mental and physical well-being [1]. Stress is defined in various forms pressure from the environment, then as pressure within the person; also interaction between the situation and the individual. It is the psychological and physical state that results when the belongings of the individual are not adequate to manage with the demand and pressures of the situation. Stress can undermine the achievement of goals, both for individuals and for organizations [3]. The degree of stress experienced depends on the functioning of two protective physiological mechanisms. First is alarm reaction, that is, when confronted with a threat to our safety, our first response is physiological arousal. Second is adaptation, that is, it allows us to cease responding when we learn that stimuli in the environment are no longer a threat to our safety. There are various signs of stress which includes how you feel, how you think, how you behave and how your body adapts and reacts. There are many types of stress: good stress as eustress, bad stress as distress, acute distress and chronic distress [2]. Stress takes place at work which is termed as workplace stress or occupational stress. It is a measure of pressure an individual senses in relative to his/her job. A variety of external factors can lead to job stress. These include: work schedule, pace of work, job...
