The mediating effect of self-efficacy on mindfulness and job burnout in psychological counselors / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To explore the mediating role of self-efficiency between mindfulness and job burnout in psychological counselors. Methods 201 psychological counselors were tested by the demograph-ic data Questionnaire,Maslach Burnout Inventory(MBI-GS),General Self-Efficacy Scale(GSES),Mindful-ness attention and mindfulness scale(MAAS). The structural equation model was used to explore the media-ting role of self-efficacy in the relationship between mindfulness and job burnout. Results Mindfulness in psychological counselors was negatively correlated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization(r=-0.50,-0.43;P<0.01),while there was a significant positive correlation with personal accomplishment(r=0.30,P<0.01). Self-efficiency was negatively correlated with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization(r=-0.30,-0.32;P<0.01),while there was a significant positive correlation with personal accomplishment(r=0.40,P<0.01). Mindfulness was positively correlated with self-efficiency(r=0.31,P<0.01). The mediating effect showed that self-efficacy played a partial mediating effect on the relationship between mindfulness and job burnout(effect value:-0.071,95%CI= -0.027--0.141),and the mediation effect accounted for 14.82%of the total effect. Conclusion Self-efficiency plays a partial mediating role between job burnout and mind-fulness in psychological counselors. Improving the level of mindfulness and self-efficiency have positive effect on job burnout of the psychological counselors.
