The poor retention of special education teachers negatively impacts student academic outcomes. Special education teachers commonly cite burnout as a primary reason for leaving the field; however, there is a deficit of literature available to validate claims concerning special educators and their level of burnout. This study analyzed the psychometric properties of the Maslach Burnout Inventory: Educators' Survey using a sample of 349 special education teachers from schools across the nation (201 resource room special education teachers and 148 self-contained special education teachers). The Maslach Burnout Inventory: Educators' Survey measures three factors (e.g. subscales) emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. A confirmatory factor analysis, an exploratory factor analysis, and a multi-group measurement invariance confirmatory factor analysis were conducted. The results showed measurement invariance between the two groups of teachers. During the exploratory factor analysis, a significant fourth factor, collaborative stress, emerged. These findings suggest the current factor structure of the Maslach Burnout Inventory: Educators' Inventory needs to be modified when measuring burnout among special education teachers. This includes the need to further explore how collaboration stress relates to special education teachers and how to implement formative collaboration practices to retain special education teachers.

Introducción: En la presente investigación se busca relacionar el síndrome de burnout con los estilos de afrontamiento al estrés; participaron 115 operarios de una empresa industrial alimentaria de Lima Metropolitana. Método: Se aplicaron el Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey [MBI-GS] y el Coping Estimation [COPE60]. Se analizó la estructura interna de los instrumentos a través del Análisis Factorial Exploratorio de máxima verosimilitud con rotación oblimin directo, que mostró la presencia de dos dimensiones en el MBI-GS y dos en el COPE. Resultados: Existen correlaciones positivas significativas entre las dimensiones Agotamiento y cinismo con el estilo de afrontamiento emocional evitativo; como también, la eficacia profesional con el afrontamiento dirigido hacia la resolución del problema. Asimismo, se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los datos del MBI-GS comparados por edad, grado de instrucción y años de servicio. Conclusiones: Las dimensiones de ambos instrumentos correlacionaron entre sí, demostrando el efecto de los estilos de afrontamiento con el burnout. Además, los factores sociodemográficos de la población y la naturaleza de su labor influyen en la aparición del síndrome. Se recomienda la implementación de políticas que permitan capacitaciones orientadas en la adquisición de habilidades blandas para permitir afrontamientos más adecuados. / Introduction: The present study aims to relate burnout syndrome with stress coping styles; 115 workers from a Lima industrial food company participated. Method: The Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey [MBI-GS] and the Coping Estimation [COPE60] were applied. The internal structure of the instruments was analyzed through the Exploration Factor Analysis of maximum likelihood with direct oblimin rotation, which showed the presence of two dimensions in the MBI-GS and two in the COPE. Results: There are significant positive correlations between the dimensions of Exhaustion and cynicism with Avoidant emotional coping; as well, Professional Efficacy with the coping style of problem solving. Likewise, significant differences were found between the MBI-GS data compared by age, educational level, and years of service. Conclusions: The dimensions of both instruments correlated between each other, showing the effects of coping styles on burnout syndrome. Sociodemographic factors in the population and the nature of their work influence the appearance of the syndrome. The implementation of organizational policies that allow training oriented to the acquisition of soft skills to allow more adequate coping is recommended. / Tesis

En cuanto a los resultados, se destaca la gran cantidad de estudios cuantitativos, los cuales, como parte de su estructura, presentan en un 100% resumen, abstract, palabras claves, introducción y objetivos. Asimismo, coinciden en su totalidad en cuanto a la presencia de método, resultados, discusión, conclusiones y referencias. No obstante, se encontró que la mayoría de las investigaciones no incluye hipótesis ni recomendaciones en su estudio. Finalmente se concluye que, la bibliometría es el método por excelencia que permite evaluar objetivamente la calidad y estructura de estudios científicos de manera sistematizada. De este modo, posibilita identificar que la producción científica en relación con el síndrome de burnout en el país aún es escasa. Por lo que resulta necesario promover la investigación científica peruana. / The objective of this study is to carry out a bibliometric analysis of the scientific publications in the Scielo-Peru database related to Burnout Syndrome in health personnel between 2009 and 2019. A total of 17 articles were found, of the 7 articles related to the study, samples were selected. Then, the corresponding organization and analysis of the articles obtained continued. As for the results, the large number of quantitative studies stands out, which, as part of their structure, present 100% abstract, abstract, keywords, introduction, and objectives. Likewise, they coincide in terms of the presence of the method, results, discussion, conclusions, and references. However, it was found that most investigations do not include hypotheses or recommendations in their study. Finally, it is concluded that bibliometrics is the method par excellence that allows objectively evaluating the quality and structure of scientific studies systematically. In this way, it makes it possible to identify that scientific production concerning burnout syndrome in the country is still scarce. Therefore, it is necessary to promote Peruvian scientific research. / Trabajo de investigación

Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF EDUCATION in the Department of Educational Planning and Administration at the University of Zululand, 2005. / This study set out to investigate the prevalence of burnout among teachers. To this end, the following objectives were formulated: To (a) ascertain the incidence of burnout among teachers in KwaZulu-Natal. (b) determine the manner in which teachers manifest burnout, (c) find out whether there is any association between teachers' biographical factors and burnout. In order to investigate the aims of the study the Maslach Burnout Inventory - Educators Survey was used. This instrument was administered to a sample of 364 teachers who teach in traditionally black secondary schools in three districts of the Zululand region of the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Data was analysed by means of the chi-square one-sample test and the analysis of variance (ANOVA). After the analysis and interpretation of data was done, the study came to the following conclusions: (i) teachers differ in the extent to which they experience the incidence of burnout. There is a group of teachers who experience low burnout levels, there is also a group that experience moderate burnout levels and a group that experiences high burnout levels. However, the test revealed that the majority of teachers experience low burnout levels, (ii) There is a positive relationship between the variable of the level of education and emotional exhaustion, and between the variable of gender and personal accomplishment. This means that teachers who hold a postgraduate qualification experience high emotional exhaustion compared to their counterparts who hold lower qualifications. This further means that male teachers experience high personal accomplishment levels compared to their female counterparts, (iii) Finally the study revealed that there is no relationship between teachers' biographical factors (gender, age, marital status, level of education, position at school, work experience, average number of learners in classes taught, location of school) and burnout.

Dietetics preceptors are at risk for abandoning the role of preceptor because of potential burnout. Quantifying the prevalence of burnout and identifying the predictors of burnout can help key stakeholders identify and implement strategies that prevent or mitigate burnout in dietetics preceptors. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of intern-related burnout in dietetics preceptors and to identify the predictors of this burnout. This study used a cross-sectional study design. A survey instrument that included burnout and precepting measures, and items about the respondents’ personal and work characteristics was distributed to a random sample of 10,000 dietetics professionals with a survey link emailed by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy). Respondents who had precepted during the past year, were currently practicing, and living in the United States were included in the sample. During October and November of 2022, 355 preceptors responded to the survey. Intern-related burnout was measured using scores on the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). Respondents with a score of ?50 on the CBI were classified as experiencing moderate to high burnout. Moderate to high intern-related burnout was seen in 26% of preceptors. Predictors of intern-related burnout were identified using an analysis of covariance. For the categorical variable included in the model, pairwise Tukey analyses were used to determine differences in the categories. The predictive model for intern-related burnout included Commitment to the Preceptor Role (CPR) score, percentage of difficult students, feeling appreciated by the intern, Preceptor Perceptions of Support (PPS) score, and number of students precepted in the past year. While the majority of preceptors were not classified in the category of moderate to high intern-related burnout, it is important to continue exploring the experiences of the quarter of preceptors who do. The results of this study suggest that to prevent intern-related burnout, key stakeholders should encourage strategies that foster commitment to the preceptor role, reduce the percentage of difficult students that preceptors encounter, increase the degree to which preceptors feel appreciated by interns, increase support and empowerment of preceptors, and limit the number of students that individual preceptors are asked to host over the course of a year.

This study aims to examine to what extent Dutch GPs are at risk for burnout, and to identify personal, professional and practice related characteristics that are associated with high burn out scores. In the extant literature, physicians are identified as professionals who are high risk for burnout. In the past decade, working conditions for general practitioners (GPs) in the Netherlands have changed for the worse. There are no recent data on GP burnout in the Netherlands. Although much is known in the literature about factors that are associated with burnout and the role job demands and resources play in getting burned out, the extent to which these findings apply in the context of Dutch GPs is unknown. This study is designed as a quantitative, survey based, empirical study. An invitation to complete an online survey was sent to 4,000 GPs in the Netherlands, of whom close to 1,300 participated in this study (33% response rate). The data were analysed using IBM SPSS 22.0. The data analysis consisted of a descriptive analysis of the data with an emphasis on the outcome of burnout measurements, as well as an inferential analysis of the data with an emphasis on the association between respondents’ characteristics and burnout measurements. The results from this study indicate, that one in seven practicing Dutch GPs could be classified as burned out with fulltime working GPs reporting an average working week of 62 hours. According to the findings, the amount of hours worked per week is the most important determinant of emotional exhaustion. Variation in emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and professional efficacy can to a large extent be explained by variation in demands (administrative burden, work-home conflict, psychological job demands) and resources (decision latitude, co-worker support and home support). Increased job demands are predominantly associated with emotional exhaustion, while a scarcity of resources predominantly leads to increased depersonalisation and reduced professional efficacy. The findings demonstrate, that a bigger job size, more hours worked and a more responsible position held, are associated with higher experienced demands, which is in turn associated with unfavourable burnout scores, particularly increased emotional exhaustion. Working in a group setting, being professionally active outside of one’s own practice and being in a relationship were found to be associated with increased resources, which is in turn associated with favourable burnout scores, particularly decreased depersonalisation and increased professional efficacy. Based on the findings of this study, three recommendations for government bodies, healthcare providers and other healthcare stakeholders were formulated: 1) Reduce the length of the working week, predominantly by reducing the number of allocated patients per GP. This recommendation implies an increase in the GP workforce; 2) Undertake a comprehensive analysis of the quantity, type and purpose of administrative duties currently performed by GPs and trim unnecessary paperwork and bureaucracy within the GP practice and 3) Increase co-worker support, either within the GP practice or by using the existing collegiate support infrastructure.

Principal workloads and demands are steadily increasing while principal health and well-being are declining, resulting in increased rates of principal turnover. Currently, principals are experiencing numerous work-related stressors that are increasing burnout. In many cases, school leaders are sacrificing their families and health to lead their schools. As school success is linked with principal leadership, principal burnout and wellness demands further discussion and investigation. Yet, there is a limited body of research that examines the lived experiences of principals who experience burnout. Consequently, this researcher conducted a phenomenological qualitative study of 12 Texas K-12 elementary and secondary public school principals in central Texas. Findings pointed out that principals experience burnout in waves. While the COVID-19 pandemic greatly impacted the burnout principal experienced, political divisiveness and social media attacks intensified their burnout. Additional findings revealed that burnout can cause principals to question staying in their role and negatively affect the quality of their family relationships as well as their health. Principals coped with their burnout by being aware of their emotions, spending time doing things that brought happiness, exercising, and reverting back to their faith in God. Additionally, principals believed that having knowledgeable district leaders who are visible, trust their leadership, and offer real support could help to alleviate or mitigate principal burnout. Suggestions for ways that district leaders, principal preparation programs, and state education departments could reduce principal burnout and increase student, school, and distinct outcomes while supporting principal well-being are provided.

A Síndrome de Burnout entre os profissionais da área da saúde vem sendo estudada em vários países e sua associação com transtornos depressivos tem sido relatada por vários estudos. Os resultados indicam validade para o burnout, diferenciando-o da depressão e por outro lado, associação dos índices de burnout e a sintomatologia depressiva. O Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey (MBI-HSS) é o instrumento mais utilizado para avaliar o burnout. A estrutura de três fatores do MBI tem sido confirmada em várias amostras de diversos países. Entretanto, não encontramos estudos investigando a influência da depressão nas características psicométricas do MBI-HSS. Portanto, neste estudo, investigamos a validade do MBI-HSS em uma amostra de 521 auxiliares de enfermagem de um hospital universitário utilizando a análise fatorial exploratória, análise fatorial confirmatória e consistência interna pelo alfa de Cronbach. A amostra total foi dividida em um grupo com depressão maior e outro sem depressão maior. Tanto a amostra total, quanto as subamostras apresentaram elevados valores de alfa de Cronbach para a subescala de esgotamento emocional e valores intermediários para as subescalas de realização pessoal e de despersonalização. A análise do gráfico Scree plot, diferente da análise fatorial exploratória sem fixar os fatores, indicou a solução de três fatores, como na versão original da MBI-HSS. Fixando-se em três fatores, a análise fatorial exploratória revelou maior carga fatorial em Esgotamento Emocional (EE) de dois itens de Despersonalização (DE) na subamostra com depressão maior, mas não na subamostra sem depressão maior. Diferentemente, os itens 6 e 16 de EE apresentaram maior carga fatorial em DE na subamostra sem depressão mas não a amostra com depressão. Nossos resultados indicam que a presença de depressão maior pode influenciar as propriedades psicométricas da MBI-HSS. Sugerimos que pesquisadores considerem a avaliação da validade da MBI-HSS na amostra em questão anteriormente ao uso do MBI-HSS, incluindo a avaliação dos indivíduos com e sem depressão separadamente. / The burnout syndrome among health professionals has been studied in several countries and its association with depressive disorders have been reported by several studies. The results indicate validity for burnout, differentiating it from depression and on the other hand, association between burnout and depressive symptomatology. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Service Survey (MBI-HSS) has been the most used instrument to evaluate burnout. The three-factor structure of the MBI has been confirmed in several samples from different countries. However, we did not find studies investigating the influence of depression on the psychometric characteristics of the MBI-HSS. Therefore, we investigated the validity of the MBI-HSS in a sample of 521 nursing assistants in a university hospital using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency (Cronbachs alpha coefficient). The total sample was divided into a group with major depression and one without major depression. Both the total sample and the subsamples showed high values of Cronbach\'s alpha for the subscale of emotional exhaustion and intermediate values for the subscales of personal accomplishment and depersonalization. The Scree plot analysis, unlike exploratory factor analysis without fixing the factors, indicated the three-factor solution, as in the original MBI-HSS. Settling into three factors, the exploratory factor analysis revealed the highest load factor in Emotional Exhaustion (EE) of two items in the subsample of Depersonalization (DE) with major depression but not in the subsample without major depression. In contrast, items 6 and 16 of EE had higher factor loading in DE in the subsample without depression but not in the sample with depression. Our results indicate that the presence of major depression may influence the psychometric properties of the MBI-HSS. We suggest that researchers consider the evaluation of the validity of the MBI-HSS in the sample prior to the use of the MBI-HSS, including assessment of individuals with and without depression separately
