ABSTRACT
El objetivo de la investigación fue establecer los factores asociados al síndrome de burnout en docentes de dos instituciones educativas formales privada y pública de la ciudad de Cali, Colombia. Se describieron las dimensiones del síndrome (Agotamiento Emocional, Despersonalización y Falta de Realización Personal) y su relación con los factores organizacionales, el Estrés del Rol y las características sociodemográficas de los docentes. Para esto se aplicó el Cuestionario de Burnout en Profesores - Modificado (CBP-M) a una muestra de 82 docentes de un colegio público y uno privado. Los resultados muestran bajos niveles de burnout en ambas instituciones. Respecto a los factores asociados, se halló relación con el Estrés de Rol y los factores organizacionales de Supervisión, Condiciones Organizacionales y Preocupaciones Profesionales. Las variables sociodemográficas no presentaron relaciones significativas con el síndrome, a excepción del nivel de enseñanza en el cual los docentes imparten clases.
The goal of the study was to locate factors related to burnout syndrome in teachers of two formal private and public educational institutions from Cali, Colombia. The syndrome's dimensions (Emotional Exhaustion, Depersonalization and Reduced Sense of Personal Accomplishment) and their relation to organizational factors, the Stress of the Role and socio-demographic characteristics of the teachers were described. The Modified Burnout in Teachers Questionnaire (CBP-M) was applied to a sample of 82 teachers from one public and one private school. Results show a low level of burnout syndrome in both institutions. An association with the levels of stress of role and organizational factors such as supervision, job conditions and professional worries was found. The socio-demographic characteristics did not show significant relations with the syndrome, with the exception of the level of education in which the teachers give classes.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: As Korea has been rapidly transformed to be a multicultural society, it becomes essential for nurses to develop cultural competency. The purpose of this descriptive study was to assess the cultural competency level of general hospital nurses and to examine its contributing factors adopting ecological model. METHOD: A convenience sample of 327 nurses from six general hospitals in Seoul metropolitan area was recruited between November 14 to 28, 2011. Cultural competency was measured using the Korean version of the Caffrey Cultural Competence in Healthcare Scale (CCCHS) and Cultural Competence Assessment(CCA). Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to assess the influence of intrapersonal, cultural-experience, and organizational factors on cultural competency. RESULTS: Mean cultural competency in this study was 2.57(+/-0.43). Cultural competency was associated with job position (p=.044) at the intrapersonal level. At the cultural experience level, foreign language classes experience (p=.005), fluency in a foreign language (p=.000), experience of working with foreign health care professionals (p=.000) were associated cultural competency. At the organizational level, training program (p=.000), job description (p=.002), health education materials (p=.016), insufficient job control (p=.000), and interpersonal conflicts (p=.011) showed significant difference. Foreign language class experience, foreign language fluency, experience of working with foreign health care professionals, and job control were the most consistent predictors of cultural competence and explained 20.4% of the total variance in the proposed ecological model. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that to enhance cultural competency in general hospital nurses, cultural experience and organizational factors need to be more fully considered than intrapersonal factors.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship of organizational factors with occupational burnout among doctors. Method740 doctors were assessed by CMBI, Job Demands and Decision Latitude scale, Distributive and Procedural Justice scale, Cross-Culture Role Conflict, Ambiguity, and Overload scale, Work Interference With Family and Family Interference With Work scale, Social Support scale. ResultsHierarchical multiple regression indicated that 27.8% variance of doctors' Emotional Exhaustion(EE), 36.8% variance of Depersonalization(Dp), 21.0% variance of Reduced Personal Accomplishment(RPA) were explained by Organizational factors. Work Interference with family, role conflict, work-family conflict, distributive justice and workload can significantly predict EE(Standardized β was 0.204, 0.102, 0.249,-0.109,0.093); Family interference with work, role ambiguity, family support, procedural justice and workload can significantly predict Dp(Standardized β was 0.506,0.192,-0.122,0.105,-0.068); Role ambiguity, family support, job control, work Interference with family and superior support can significantly predict RPA(Standardized β was 0.245,-0.179,-0.172,-0.106,-0.069). ConclusionOrganizational factors have significantly effect on doctor's burnout, especially work-family conflict and role character.
