This work is engaged in signs of burnout synrome by teachers at secondary school in the region of South Bohemia. 48 schools were asked to cooperate on this reaserch. For this research was used standardized questionnaire Maslach Burnout Inventory. In this research took part in 111 respondents.

Psicólogo / En este trabajo se investiga la validez factorial del MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) que intenta medir el síndrome de Burnout. El colectivo lo conformaron 98 profesores dirigentes sindicales del Colegio de Profesores A.G. Se realizó un análisis de Componentes Principales y rotación ortogonal de tipo Varimax, el cual presentó 6 factores. En el primer componente se agrupan los ítems de Agotamiento Emocional, en el segundo los sugeridos para Despersonalización. No obstante, los descritos para Realización Personal se fragmentaron en 4 factores. La distribución de los ítems es congruente en forma parcial a los del manual y se propone una solución factorial de dos dimensiones, esto es Agotamiento Emocional y Despersonalización. Así mismo, se sugiere revisar el ítem 21, dado que en este estudio se encuentra evidencia para su eliminación. En conclusión, este trabajo plantea que la solución bifactorial permitiría evaluar el síndrome de BO con un buen nivel de validez y confiabilidad

This research examines the level of stress experienced by social workers employed in a locked mental health hospital. A comparative analysis was completed measuring the level of stress associated with the type of unit: acute or chronic.

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.

Burnout is a prevalent problem in South Africa, affecting individuals and organisations in various industries. The study of burnout in South Africa is important in order to solve the burnout problem. Valid and reliable measurement instruments are necessary to conduct studies on burnout. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory was developed as a result of criticism against the most popular burnout measure, namely the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The Copenhagen Burnout Inventory measures burnout in terms of three factors, namely personal burnout, work-related burnout and client-related burnout. Although the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory is a unique tool for the measurement of burnout, very little attention has been paid to determining the psychometric properties of this instrument. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory can be used as a valid and reliable measure for burnout in South Africa. The research methodology followed a quantitative survey research approach. A non-probability snowball sample of 215 respondents completed the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Data obtained was used to conduct an exploratory factor analysis and internal reliability analysis. The study proved that the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory can be used in South Africa to measure two factors with high internal reliabilities, namely exhaustion (á=0.935) and client-related burnout (á=0.913). It is recommended that additional items based on withdrawal should be added to the work-related burnout scale of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Such additional items might possibly lead to confirmation of the original three-factor model in a South African context. / Dissertation (MCom)--University of Pretoria, 2011. / Human Resource Management / unrestricted

Quality of residential care for people with severe dementia is in urgent need of improvement. One reason for this may be the assumption that people with severe dementia are unaware of what is happening to them. However, there is converging evidence to suggest that global assumptions of unawareness are inappropriate. This trial platform study aims to assist care staff in perceiving and responding to subtle signs of awareness and thus enhance their practice. Methods/Design: In Stage One, a measure of awareness in severe dementia will be developed. Two focus groups and an expert panel will contribute to item and scale development. In Stage Two observational data will be used to further develop the measure. Working in four care homes, we will recruit 40 individuals with severe dementia who have no, or very limited, verbal communication. Data on inter-rater reliability and frequency of all items and exploratory factor analysis will be used to identify items to be retained. Test-retest and inter-rater reliability for the new measure will be calculated. Correlations with scores for well-being and behaviour and with proxy ratings of quality of life will provide an indication of concurrent validity. In Stage Three the new measure will be used in a single blind cluster randomised trial. Eight care homes will participate, with 10 residents recruited in each giving a total sample of 80 people with severe dementia. Homes will be randomised to intervention or usual care conditions. In the intervention condition, staff will receive training in using the new measure and will undertake observations of designated residents. For residents with dementia, outcomes will be assessed in terms of change from baseline in scores for behaviour, well-being and quality of life. For care staff, outcomes will be assessed in terms of change from baseline in scores for attitudes, care practice, and well-being. Discussion: The results will inform the design of a larger-scale trial intended to provide definitive evidence about the benefits of increasing the sensitivity of care staff to signs of awareness in residents with severe dementia.

Titel: Psykisk hälsa och arbetstillfredsställelse hos svenska fastighetsmäklare – En kvantitativ studie om utbrändhet, känsla av sammanhang och arbetstillfredsställelse. Nivå: Examensarbete på Grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i företagsekonomi C. Författare: Josephine Lindberg och Maria Lundkvist Handledare: Martin Ahlenius Datum: 2024 - Maj Syfte: Utbrändhet är idag ett stort problem som påverkar flera aspekter av livet, exempelvis psykisk och fysisk hälsa samt arbetstillfredsställelse. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka hur nivåerna av utbrändhet och känslan av sammanhang (KASAM) påverkar arbetstillfredsställelse bland fullständigt registrerade och yrkesmässigt aktiva fastighetsmäklare i Sverige. Metod: Studien utgår från en kvantitativ forskningsmetod där en tvärsnittsstudie genomförts med hjälp av en enkätundersökning som genererade totalt 404 svar. Studiens population består av fullständigt registrerade och yrkesmässigt aktiva fastighetsmäklare i Sverige. Den data som kom av enkätundersökningen analyserades i statistikprogrammet JASP och presenterades därefter i olika figurer och tabeller som återfinns i resultatet samt bilagor. Resultat och slutsats: Av studien framkom att respondenterna generellt upplever låga nivåer av utbrändhet samt höga nivåer av KASAM och arbetstillfredsställelse. Resultatet tydliggör ett samband innebärande att låga nivåer av utbrändhet korrelerar med högre nivåer av KASAM samt arbetstillfredsställelse. Examensarbetets bidrag: Av studien genererades ett generaliserbart resultat som bidrar med praktisk likväl som teoretisk kunskap om nivåerna av utbrändhet, KASAM och arbetstillfredsställelse hos populationen. Även kunskap om hur de tre teoretiska modellerna påverkar varandra bland de svenska fastighetsmäklarna presenteras. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Utifrån studiens resultat och begränsningar ges ett antal förslag till vidare forskning relaterade till de teoretiska modellerna som appliceras i denna studie. Bland annat föreslås en longitudinell studie som undersöker utbrändhet, KASAM och arbetstillfredsställelse. Ytterligare förslag är att undersöka hur värdena skiljer sig åt geografiskt. Nyckelord: Fastighetsmäklare, Utbrändhet, Maslach Burnout Inventory, Känsla av sammanhang, Arbetstillfredsställelse.

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 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
