From 45.83% to 82.14% of students presented low levels of emotional fati-gue and depersonalization; on the other hand, from 37.14% to 52.94% presented average levels of personal fulfillment.Conclusion: The prevalence of Burnout syndrome is low as in professionals as in students of the Occupational Therapy Career who do pre-professional practices in different institutions.

Psychosocial Risks and Mental Disorders among Mexican Oil Workers / Riesgos psicosociales y trastornos mentales en trabajadores petroleros mexicanos / Riscos psicossociais e transtornos mentais em trabalhadores petrolíferos mexicanos

The psychosocial risks faced by workers can influence their health as well as job performance and satisfaction. However, this phenomenon among Mexican workers in the oil industry has not been well studied. The purpose of this study was to analyze the association of stress and job-related burnout with mental disorders among oil workers in the southeastern region of Mexico. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional and analytical study included 501 workers from the onshore oil industry in the southeastern region of Mexico. The Work Burnout Inventory, the Symptoms of Stress Inventory, and the Goldberg General Health Questionnaire (ghq 28) were applied between October and November, 2016. Chi-square test was used to analyze the relationship between variables and the odds ratio was determined to establish the level of risk for mental disorders. Results: Moderate levels of stress (21.4l %), efficacy (41.5 %), cynicism (30.6 %), and exhaustion (39.7 %) were observed. Mental disorders were noted in 11.8 % of workers. Stress and burnout were associated with mental disorders (p < 0.05). Finally, workers who experienced stress and job burnout were more likely to have mental disorders (or = 12.96; 95 % ci [7.03­23.94]; p = 0.00). Conclusions:Stress and job burnout are risk factors for mental disorders among Mexican oil workers.

Mediating role of depression between workplace violence and job burnout among healthcare workers / 中南大学学报(医学版)

OBJECTIVES@#Health workers are at risk of workplace violence, which can seriously affects their mental health and work status. This study aims to explore the mediating role of depression between workplace violence and job burnout among healthcare workers.@*METHODS@#From January 10 to February 5, 2019, a questionnaire was distributed to frontline healthcare workers through the wenjuanxing platform using convenient sampling (snowball sampling). The questionnaire included the Chinese version of the Workplace Violence Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory, and Patient Health Questionnaires (PHQ-2). Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and mediation model tests were conducted on the cross-sectional data collection.@*RESULTS@#The study included 3 684 participants, with (31.63±7.69) years old. Among them 2 079(56.43%) were experienced workplace violence, 687(18.65%) were screened positive for depression, and 2 247(60.99%) were experienced high levels of occupational burnout. Correlation analysis showed positive association between workplace violence and depression, workplace violence and occupational burnout, depression and occupational burnout (r=0.135, r=0.107, r=0.335, respectively, all P<0.001). After controlling for covariates, workplace violence had an indirect effect on occupational burnout through depression, with a standardized coefficient of 0.25 (SE=0.02, 95% CI 0.21 to 0.28), accounting for 13.87% of the total effect.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The study highlights the close relationship between workplace violence, depression, and occupational burnout among healthcare workers, with depression acting as a mediator between workplace violence and occupational burnout. This study suggests that it is necessary to improve the communication skills of healthcare workers, increase the installation of security systems and emergency plans, use new media platforms to convey positive energy between doctors and patients, and open channels for medical consultation and complaints. It is also necessary to provide guidance for healthcare workers' depressive emotions. Addressing depression among health care workers will help reduce the harm caused by workplace violence, protect the physical and mental health of healthcare workers, and reduce work burnout.

Safety attitudes, burnout and well-being among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic: an Indo-Pacific regional cross-sectional study

INTRODUCTION@#The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had an unprecedented impact in Asia and has placed significant burden on already stretched healthcare systems. We examined the impact of COVID-19 on the safety attitudes among healthcare workers (HCWs), as well as their associated demographic and occupational factors, and measures of burnout, depression and anxiety.@*METHODS@#A cross-sectional survey study utilising snowball sampling was performed involving doctors, nurses and allied health professions from 23 hospitals in Singapore, Malaysia, India and Indonesia between 29 May 2020 and 13 July 2020. This survey collated demographic data and workplace conditions and included three validated questionnaires: the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ), Oldenburg Burnout Inventory and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. We performed multivariate mixed-model regression to assess independent associations with the SAQ total percentage agree rate (PAR).@*RESULTS@#We obtained 3,163 responses. The SAQ total PARs were found to be 35.7%, 15.0%, 51.0% and 3.3% among the respondents from Singapore, Malaysia, India and Indonesia, respectively. Burnout scores were highest among respondents from Indonesia and lowest among respondents from India (70.9%-85.4% vs. 56.3%-63.6%, respectively). Multivariate analyses revealed that meeting burnout and depression thresholds and shifts lasting ≥12 h were significantly associated with lower SAQ total PAR.@*CONCLUSION@#Addressing the factors contributing to high burnout and depression and placing strict limits on work hours per shift may contribute significantly towards improving safety culture among HCWs and should remain priorities during the pandemic.

An analytic cross-sectional study of the prevalence and factors associated with Burnout Syndrome among junior high school public teachers in Quezon City

Introduction@#Teaching is considered to be a high-risk occupation for developing burnout, a phenomenon where chronic workplace stress is unsuccessfully managed. Despite studies on burnout in high- and upper-middle income countries, there is limited evidence for lower-middle-income (LMIC) countries and in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.@*Objective@#This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with burnout under worker’s health, working environment, and working culture among junior high school teachers.@*Methods@#Data were collected through a six-part, self-administered questionnaire that measured sociodemographics and teacher characteristics, musculoskeletal pain, comorbidities, job insecurity, workplace social support, and burnout from 16 public high schools in Quezon City. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess significant factors associated with burnout. @*Results@#Of the 171 JHS teachers in the study, the prevalence of burnout was 5.3%. Teachers who were more likely to have burnout were males, younger age, lower teaching positions, fewer working hours and teaching experience, blended work setup, with musculoskeletal pain and mental comorbidities, job insecurity, and low workplace social support. Bivariate analysis found that mental comorbidities and job insecurity were significant, however, these were not significant in the multivariate analysis. @*Conclusion@#This study presents alternative findings for the factors associated with burnout when contextualized in an LMIC setting. Despite not finding significance when adjusted for other variables, descriptive statistics have shown the characteristics of teachers who are more likely to have burnout. Efforts to detect, manage, and prevent burnout should take these into consideration to identify teacher with burnout.

Association of online screen media exposure and burnout among adolescent senior high school students enrolled in different online curricula in Metro Manila: An analytic cross-sectional study / The Health Sciences Journal

Introduction@#Due to COVID-19 pandemic, it became imperative for the education sector to shift to online curriculum and eventually hybrid education. However, this policy posed challenges to educators and students, such as increased workload, prolonged screen time, and burnout. This study determined the association of online screen media exposure and burnout among adolescent senior high school students enrolled in different online curricula in Metro Manila.@*Methods@#This analytic cross-sectional study identified adolescent senior high school students in Metro Manila who were recruited via non-probability convenience sampling. Online screen media exposure was assessed based on the cut off value of four (4) or more hours of device usage related to online schooling, and participants answered the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) to ascertain presence or absence of said condition. Data analysis included cross-tabulation for prevalence rate ratio (PRR), and Chi-square test for statistical significance.@*Results@#Of the 117 respondents, most had significant online screen media exposure (75.21%). For the CBI, 51 study subjects garnered a score of 50 and above, suggesting that 43.59% of the adolescents might be suffering from burnout. In addition, PRR was calculated to be 3.9 (p-value of .002).@*Conclusion@#Among adolescent senior high school students with significant online screen media exposure of four hours or more, there was 3.9 higher risk of exhibiting burnout symptoms, and this was statistically significant.

Fostering self-care for Filipino nurse educators: A policy paper

@#Lack of self-care has strongly been associated with stress and burnout among nurse educators. It has long been a silent battle as they struggle with academia, clinical practice, and research. Challenges identified that contribute to lack of self-care are heavy workloads, limited facilities for instruction, lack of support for professional advancement, and limited self-care facilities. In support of the Alma Ata declaration in empowering and assisting individuals to obtain knowledge, skills, and resources to preserve health, this paper advocates the need to foster and establish a self-care culture for nurse educators in the Philippines through the Reflect, Recharge, Revive Program. The program framework of Reflect through self-assessment and self-reflection, Recharge through self-care education and training, and Revive for sustainability are collected from various programs already used by some nursing schools that have been proven effective in their respective organizations. Its integration into the current policies and guidelines, including policy frameworks of nursing institutions, will help address stress and burnout associated with a lack of self-care among nurse educators. As a healthy policy, it is believed to positively affect nursing education, especially in decreasing faculty turnover and increasing job performance and self-fulfillment in teaching.

Association between maternal job burnout and adolescent depression: the chain mediating effect of maternal depression and parenting style / 中国当代儿科杂志

OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the association between maternal job burnout and adolescent depression and the mediating effect of maternal depression and parenting style.@*METHODS@#A cross-sectional study was conducted. The cluster random sampling method was used to select 2 572 adolescents from 7 middle schools in Shanghai, China, from April to May, 2021. A survey was performed for these adolescents and their mothers. The research tools included a general information questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey, Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, short-form of Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran, and Children's Depression Inventory. A structural equation model was established, and the Bootstrap method was used to investigate the mediating effect.@*RESULTS@#The detection rate of depressive symptoms was 12.71% (327/2 572) among the adolescents. The scores of maternal job burnout, maternal depression, and negative parenting style were positively correlated with the score of adolescent depression (P<0.05), and the score of positive parenting style was negatively correlated with the score of adolescent depression (P<0.05). Maternal depression and parenting style played a mediating role between maternal job burnout and adolescent depression, including the individual mediating effect of maternal depression, the individual mediating effect of positive parenting style, and the chain mediating effect of maternal depression-negative/positive parenting style.@*CONCLUSIONS@#Maternal job burnout may affect adolescent depression through the mediating effect of depression, parenting style, and depression-parenting style, suggesting that the symptoms of adolescent depression can be reduced by alleviating maternal job burnout, improving maternal depression, increasing positive parenting behaviors, and reducing negative parenting behaviors.
