The relationship between work-family conflict, stress and burnout among South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) employeesConnie, Silingile Yanga January 2014 (has links)
The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between work-family conflict, stress and burnout among South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) employees. For this purpose data was collected from the SASSA agency offices in Alice, King Williams Town and East London. A sample of 72 agency employees was drawn from the population. Results of the study indicated that the study variables are significantly positively correlated with one another. Work family conflict was found to be significantly positively correlated with stress. Stress was also found to be significantly positively correlated with burnout. A significant positive relationship was also found to exist between work family conflict and burnout. The findings of this study are helpful in the social security agency industry in order to design human resources policies which will reduce turnover of agency employees by reducing stress, work family conflict and burnout among the agency employees.

Stress in home care staff working with older adults : an exploratory study of external stressors, moderating factors, and stress outcomesLoughran, Patrick January 1999 (has links)
Home carers working chiefly with older adults were invited to participate in the study. Fifty nine consented and completed the questionnaires. Data was collected on external stressors, mediating factors, and strain indices experienced by home carers in their workplace. Well established measures were used, the General Health Questionnaire, the Occupational Stress Inventory, the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (short-form), the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale, as well as a demographic questionnaire designed for the study. The results indicated that the majority of home carers experienced various aspects of their jobs as stressful, namely role demands but do not necessarily report strain. A range of coping strategies used by this group were assessed. As expected wishful thinking as a coping strategy was positively correlated with the emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation dimensions of burnout, reduced job satisfaction and general emotional mental health. Social support and problem-solving were also used as strategies, the success of social support was highlighted by the negative correlations found with the emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation dimensions of burnout, and positive correlations found with job satisfaction. The differences between the home carers sample and the norm groups on the job satisfaction scale, the burnout scale, and GHQ-12 indicated significant lower levels of burnout, equal levels of job satisfaction, and a significantly lower proportion of clinical caseness. The stressful aspects of the home carer work were discussed. Although care work was viewed as rewarding by many nevertheless some indicators of stress were present. It was conjectured that the deleterious effects of reported stress was being effectively mediated through use of the various constructive strategies, namely social support from family and colleagues. Limitations of the study are discussed both in terms of method used, the nature of the sample and the issues around the measure of stress and relevant moderators.

Återhämtningsprocessen av utbrändhet : Vad krävs det för att en person ska bli frisk från sin utbrändhet? / The recovery process of burn-out : What does it take for a person to recover from burn-out?Eriksson, Angelica, Larsson, Erica January 2018 (has links)
Burn-out is a wide concept and similar to other medical diagnoses and concepts, for example fatigue syndrome. In this study we chose to use burn-out. Burn-out unfortunately occurs both in the working life and the elite sport world, which brings very large consequences for both individuals and society. What does it take for a person to recover from burn-out? This study is about the recovery process from a burn-out among workers and elite athletes and how educated people work to help people in this condition. The results of this qualitative study show that it mostly is about recovery. A concrete concept is not available because of the difference between individuals, but methods exist.

Previous issue date: 2016-03-01 / A queimadura provoca, no organismo, um grande número de respostas sistêmicas, com o objetivo de promover a cicatrização. Na face pode limitar os movimentos, expressões faciais e provocar alterações nas funções do sistema estomatognático. A falta de instrumentos para avaliar e quantificar as mudanças provocadas pelo processo de retração cicatricial, é um dos problemas no tratamento das cicatrizes por queimaduras. Recentemente tem sido utilizado como auxiliar no diagnóstico e tratamento dos distúrbios motores orofaciais, a EMGS - Eletromiografia de Superfície - oferecendo a possibilidade de analisar a ativação de um grupo muscular. O objetivo do estudo foi caracterizar a atividade elétrica da musculatura da face, acometida por queimadura em região de face e ou pescoço, com formação de cicatrizes restritivas. Também, comparar a atividade elétrica dos grupos musculares e os padrões de ajustes, de ativação da musculatura, dos indivíduos queimados com os dos voluntários sem queimaduras. Foi realizada uma análise exploratória de dados, observacional e transversal, com indivíduos a partir dos 5 aos 58 anos, de ambos os sexos, freqüentadores do Hospital da Restauração- PE. Foi aplicado um protocolo, adaptado, de avaliação eletromiográfica da musculatura periorbicular, para verificar a atividade elétrica dos músculos no repouso e na execução das atividades. Como resultado, foi verificado diferença significativa na média da atividade elétrica dos grupos musculares, entre os dois grupos na execução dos movimentos, com exceção dos movimentos de abertura/fechamento da boca e fechamento dos olhos no músculo orbicular da boca. Os padrões de ajustes de ativação da musculatura, na maioria dos movimentos, foram os mesmos nos dois grupos. E, devido a presença de cicatrizes hipertróficas restritivas, a média da atividade elétrica dos músculos foram mais elevadas no grupo caso do que no grupo comparação. Apesar das limitações, os dados dessa pesquisa contribuem para responder algumas questões sobre o esquema de controle utilizado pelo sistema neuromuscular durante a modulação do movimento, em indivíduos com cicatrizes restritivas, por queimadura, em região de face ou face e pescoço. / The burn causes, in the body, a large number of systemic responses, in order to promote healing. On the face may limit movements, facial expressions and cause changes in the Stomatognathic system functions. The lack of instruments to evaluate and quantify the changes caused by the process of scar retraction, is one of the problems in the treatment of scars burns. Recently it has been used as an aid in the diagnosis and treatment of orofacial motor disorders, surface electromyography SEMG--offering the possibility of examining the activation of a muscle group. The objective of this study was to characterize the electrical activity of the muscles of the face, affected by burn on face and neck region, with formation of scars restrictive. Also, compare the electrical activity of the muscle groups and settings, patterns of muscle activation, burned with the individuals of the volunteers without burns. Was held an exploratory data analysis, observational and transversal, with individuals from 5 to 58 years, of both sexes, visitors of the Hospital da Restauração-PE. A protocol was applied, adapted, electromyographic evaluation of periorbicular muscles, to check the electrical activity of muscles at rest and in the implementation of activities. As a result, a significant difference was detected in the average of the electrical activity of the muscle groups, between the two groups in the execution of the movements, with the exception of the opening/closing movements of the mouth and eye closure in mouth orbicular muscle. The patterns of muscle activation settings, in most movements, were the same in both groups. And, due to the presence of hypertrophic scars restrictive, the average of the electrical activity of muscles were higher in the case group than in the comparison group. Despite the limitations, the data of this research contribute to answer some questions about the control scheme used by the neuromuscular system during the modulation of the movement, in individuals with burn scars stringent, in the region of the face or the face and neck.

Die voorkoms van die beroepsmatheidsindroom onder maatskaplike werkersVan Wyk, Petrus Cornelius 24 April 2014 (has links)
M.A. (Social Science) / The work environment in which social workers are fulfilling their duties are today demanding more and more of them. These demands are different from those demands of other professions and is the result of the distinctiveness of the helping professions. Social workers boast that they are because of their work situation always in a state of emotional exhaustion. To this the literature refers as the burnout syndrome. Articles and research reports on the topic of burnout appeared in the past on a regular basis and are new articles and reports published regularly. A research study was undertaken to determine what the extent of burnout is in social workers and to determine if there are reason for the widespread claims that they are victims of the burnout syndrome. The aim was also to determine those factors that are involved in causing burnout. A literature study were undertaken with the aim to describe the burnout syndrome. The literature showed that burnout is a syndrome characteristic of the helping professions. The literature also describes specific elements by which burnout could be recognised. It further gave some indications of those factors that are instrumental in the development of burnout. A sample were selected, a questionnaire compiled and distributed with the aim to collect information on the appearance of burnout. The results of the study showed different results. The most important result that was established was the lack of high levels of burnout in the sample. Only a small percentage of the respondents displayed high levels of burnout. The results also indicated that work dissatisfaction, a lack of autonomy, role problems (role conflict and role ambuguity) related to high levels of burnout.

The Efficiency of the burn-leach method in assessing the integrity of TRISO coated particle layersNtlokwana, Andile January 2013 (has links)
The basic fuel unit of the High Temperature Reactor (HTR) of the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) is a uranium dioxide kernel coated with a buffer layer, an inner pyrolytic carbon (IPyC) layer, a silicon carbide (SiC) layer and an outer pyrolytic carbon (OPyC) layer and is commonly referred to as a TRISO particle. Thousands of these micro-spheres are embedded in a graphite matrix and pressed to form a fuel sphere. During the manufacture of the TRISO particles and the fuel spheres there is a production of TRISO particles with cracked/broken layers, especially the SiC layer. Before the irradiation of the fresh fuel in the nuclear reactor it is of the utmost importance to quantify the failed fractions in fresh fuel as this information is very useful in the general understanding of fuel behaviour, calculation of risk and safety margins, and prediction of long term fuel behaviour. For this reason the burn-leach method has been applied for the quality control of the fresh fuel. In this work, several aspects of the burn-leach method that affect the efficiency of the method were studied. Aspects that were investigated are: qualitative aspects, layer properties, quantitative aspects, variants of the burn-leach method and lastly statistical information from the burn-leach data.
The results obtained were as follows: Studies in this dissertation suggest that partial leaching of uranium in TRISO particles with a defective SiC layer was a phenomenon that exists. Although UO2 kernel equivalents were successfully determined by burn-leach method for particles with fully broken SiC layers, certain particles leached uranium amounts that did not correspond to single UO2 kernel equivalents; Evidence of occurrences of ‘slow leaching’ in an acidic medium were evident for certain particles. There were remnants of uranium dioxide kernels that had been partially leached after the full 16 hours. This behaviour led to inconclusive results on the absolute number of defective particles in a given population; Investigations suggest that there is at least circumstantial evidence that the BL method combined with X-ray tomography provides information about the integrity of the SiC layer, and why one particle leaches and the other does not. Neither the burn-leach nor the leach-burn-leach analysis is sufficient to be used as a stand-alone method to quantify the number of particles with defective SiC layers in a given TRISO particle population. The two tests need to be coupled to other techniques such as high resolution tomography for an extensive quantification of the layer defects; Burn-leach has to be designed to test for the layer integrity on a microscopic level as opposed to testing for the broken shells only, as was done by the normal burn-leach based on the German program. The leach time was not sufficient in its present form; Burn-leach results indicated that oxidation times of 96 hours at 750 °C under atmospheric pressure did not negatively affect the mechanical strength of the silicon carbide layer of freshly-manufactured TRISO particles, as these particles did not have a high failure fraction. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / Materials Science and Metallurgical Engineering / Unrestricted

A Qualitative Exploration of the Experiences of Adult Thermal Burn Survivors: The Navigation Toward Recovery and HealthAbrams, Thereasa Eilene 01 May 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Burn injury impacts the lives of over 1.1 million people within the United States annually (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, 2011). Taking into account current advancements in burn trauma care, approximately 95 percent of those hospitalized will survive their injuries. With increased survival rates, greater attention is being focused on the psycho-social aspect of burn treatment and rehabilitation. There is an opportunity for health educators to affect the long-term wellness outcomes of adult burn survivors and to support their growth beyond survival status. This may not constitute recovery to their preinjury lives, but rather recovery to lives closer to optimal health/wellness as opposed to mere acceptance of their current situation. Utilizing a phenomenological qualitative design, this study explored the burn-related experiences and underlying factors of resilience among burn survivors living in the Midwestern United States. After conducting single, semi-structured interviews focused on eight burn survivors' dimensions of health, the themes that emerged through data analysis were "How it Feels," "Somehow I'm Still Me," and "Yet, I'm Better." The findings of this study support the presence of innate resilient protective factors within participants' journey toward recovery and health. Through the experiences of the participants within this study, there is an opportunity for health educators to increase their understanding of the experiences of burn trauma and the impact of resilience on positive recovery outcomes.

Effectiveness of Virtual Reality on Reducing Pain in Burn PatientsCarr, Jillian R 01 January 2021 (has links)
Burn patients undergo excruciating levels of pain throughout their treatment in the hospital. Pain levels increase during medical procedures, such as wound care and debridement. As a part of the treatment plan, traditional pharmacologic interventions are provided. Over time, patients become tolerant of pain medications, specifically opioids. The developed tolerance contributes to more pain felt by the patient. Medical providers limit the number of opioids prescribed to prevent addiction and other adverse effects, contributing to the challenge in treating burn pain. Virtual reality (VR) has been studied as an intervention across various settings to alleviate distressing symptoms in patients. Many studies have shown a relationship between virtual reality and a reduction in pain levels. This thesis reviewed published research when virtual reality was used as an intervention to reduce pain levels in burn patients. A total of 8 studies were analyzed to determine if there was a relationship between these variables and were included in this literature review. Multiple databases were utilized to find articles, including Applied Science and Technology, CINHAL, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Medline, Psychinfo, University of Central Florida (UCF) libraries catalog, and Health Source Nursing/Academic edition. Search terms related to virtual reality, (VR, augmented reality, AR, and virtual environment) and burns (burn, burn patients, burn units, and burn nursing) were used, in addition to the term pain. Based on the results of this literature review, those working with burn patients can use and recommend the use of VR during painful procedures with confidence.
