ABSTRACT

The job burnout level and psychological status of 109 medical staff in Shennongjia forest region were investigated, and the Chinese maslach burnout inventory (CMBI) and symptom check list-90(SCL- 90) were adopted in the survey. The survey revealed that 69.7% (76/109) of the subjects had job burnout, including 53.2% (58/109) had slight burnout, 12. 8% (14/109) moderate burnout and 3. 7%(4/109) severe burnout. The single-factor detection rates of job burnout were 56.9% (62/109) for diminished personal accomplishment, 17.4% (19/109) for depersonalization, and 15.6% (17/109) for emotional exhaustion. Both the interpersonal sensitivity factor score and the positive symptom average score of SCL-90 were significant lower than those of Chinese norm ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), the total average score and the other factor scores of the subjects had no significant differences from those of Chinese norm ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). The results suggest that the majority of medical staff in the study region have experienced the job burnout, the main manifestation is the feeling of diminished personal accomplishment, on the other hand the psychological status of the subjects is similar with those in the general population.
