In this series of essays about professional burnout, a veteran teacher seeks a way to continue her work and enthusiasm in it, for the sake of both her and her students. To that end, she explores her relationships with her father and mother, and how the practices of teaching and learning she brought from home have affected her present classroom experiences. A complicating factor is the presence of chronic illness and its demands both primary and secondary: her father's Alzheimer's, her mother's bi-polar disorder, and the demands of eldercare for her mother. She also explores her own habitual practice of being a student, in a reflective inquiry into the mind and situation of students from inside her own experiences. Interleaved vignettes of student interaction illustrate the kinds of difficulty that the speaker has with her teaching. They appear chronologically to suggest a developmental movement.

Psicóloga / The central aim of our study was to broad knowledge on the variables that may help to reduce burnout. To this end, we investigated whether the association between three job demands (i.e. role conflict, emotional demands and cognitive demands) and burnout was moderated by psychological empowerment and perceived team empowerment. Participants were 1268 employees from two organisations (government employees = 287, hospital staff = 981). Latent moderated structural equations revealed different patterns of moderation in the samples. Psychological empowerment offset the influence of the three job demands on burnout in the hospital sample, whereas in the government organisation only emotional demands were buffered. Perceived team empowerment ameliorated the effect of emotional and cognitive demands on burnout in the government sample whereas in the hospital only emotional demands were moderated. Interestingly, both kinds of empowerment were significant moderators of emotional demands in the two samples. Overall, our results support the notion that psychological and perceived team empowerment can be relevant health-promoting factors that help to deal with high job demands and reduce burnout

The aim of the current study was to determine whether academic burnout/engagement mediated the relationship between academic obstacles/facilitators and academic performance within a South African university context. Participants received a web link to an online survey host in which a questionnaire was presented. The questionnaire included a selfdeveloped demographic questionnaire, an adapted version of the Student Stress Scale (Da Coste Leite & Israel, 2011), an adapted version of the Factors of Academic Facilitators Scale (Salanova, Schaufeli, Martinez, & Breso, 2010), the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Scale (Schaufeli, Salanova, Gonzalez-Roma, & Bakker, 2002) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Student (Schaufeli, Salanova, et al., 2002). The final sample (n=351) consisted of both full-time and part-time first year psychology students. The results of the current study demonstrated that academic obstacles were positively related to academic burnout while academic burnout was negatively related to academic performance. Academic facilitators were also negatively related to academic burnout and positively related to academic engagement. Academic burnout was also found to mediate the relationship between academic obstacles/facilitators and academic performance. The results of the study also demonstrated some non-hypothesised, but not unexpected, findings. Academic burnout, for one, was found to be negatively related to academic engagement. In addition, the indirect effect between academic obstacles and engagement was negative while the indirect effect between academic facilitators and engagement was positive. The results of the current study further demonstrated a novel finding whereby academic performance was positively related to burnout. Furthermore, the indirect effect between academic burnout and engagement was positive while the indirect effects between academic burnout and burnout, academic performance and engagement, and academic performance and performance, were negative. These findings were supported by previous research within both the work and student context. The results of the current study demonstrated, however, that academic engagement was not significantly related to academic performance and therefore was not a mediator in the relationship between academic obstacles/facilitators and academic performance. These results were unexpected given the literature available, however, may have been due to the way in which academic performance was operationalised within the current study. The implications of the results and the limitations of the current study were discussed, and suggestions for further research were made.

Stress-related psychological ill health has increased dramatically in Europe. A diagnosis equivalent to occupational burnout can be found in the Swedish version of the tenth edition of the “International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems" by the World Health Organization. The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare lists treatment suggestions including a section of self-care that recommended something that could be translated to “a sensible diet” (“vettig kost”) without providing evidence for what could constitute a sensible diet. By using the hypothesis of burnout being a stress-mediated decrease in neurogenesis which in turn decrease the ability to cope with stress, this article systematically reviews the efficacy of dietary polyphenols on neurogenesis in rodents to evaluate if dietary polyphenols could constitute a part of a sensible diet for burnout patients. Dietary polyphenols significantly increased various parts of neurogenesis, in rodents subjected to stressors, in some cases demonstrating effect sizes comparable to antidepressants. Adverse effects have been observed in extremely high doses and young rodents not exposed to induced stressors with a putative high level of neurogenesis.

<p>Burnout is the emotional, mental, and physical strain associated with prolonged work stress (Maslach, Jackson, & Leiter, 1986). Although this is a problem in many professions, mental health providers are at a heightened risk of burnout (Salyers et al., 2015). One of the reasons for this increase in burnout may be the demands put on mental health workers to manage their own emotions while dealing with the intense emotional and mental health situations of their clients. Emotional labor, or the management of emotions at work, is conceptualized as two different emotion regulation strategies: surface acting and deep acting(Grandey, 2000). Surface acting, or faking emotions, has been associated with significant mental health and job-related problems, including burnout in populations such as call center employees and service workers. The psychological impact of deep acting, or internally attempting to change your emotions, is less clear, and may actually be associated with positive outcomes (Hülsheger & Schewe, 2011). However, little work has looked at the impact of emotional labor on mental health providers. The current study aims to examine how surface acting and deep acting are related to burnout over time in mental health providers. The proposed study is secondary analysis from a Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) funded trial “The impact of burnout on patient-centered care: A comparative effectiveness trial in mental health (Salyers et al., 2018). 193 Clinicians reported burnout symptoms and frequency of employing emotional labor strategies at baseline, with 127 clinicians completing all four time-points: baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analyses and cross-lagged panels to examine the impact of surface acting and deep acting on burnout over the course of 12 months. Surface acting was significantly associated with all three dimensions of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and reduced personal accomplishment) cross-sectionally. Using cross-lagged panel models, depersonalization at baseline significantly predicted surface acting three and six months later. Surface acting and personal accomplishment had a bidirectional relationship: increased surface acting at baseline was associated with personal accomplishment at three months and decreased personal accomplishment at baseline and was associated with increased surface acting at three and six months. Deep acting moderated the relationship between surface acting and personal accomplishment at baseline, but not longitudinally. The current study is the first study that has examined the relationship between surface acting and burnout in community mental health professionals. While surface acting may not result in burnout three months later for dimensions other than personal accomplishment, two dimensions of burnout (depersonalization and decreased personal accomplishment) were associated with higher levels of surface acting three and six months later. This suggests that surface acting may have consequences for feelings of accomplishment at work, but more so, may be used a coping mechanism in reaction to some aspects of burnout. </p>

Este estudo buscou evidenciar o significado da ação de cuidar, atribuídos pelos enfermeiros que cuidam de pessoas acometidas por um câncer e que estão em tratamento. Para tanto, ele dirige-se para as experiências vividas por esses enfermeiros no cotidiano da enfermagem oncológica. O referencial fenomenológico, fundamentado nas idéias de Alfred Schütz, possibilitou uma abordagem sócio-existencial da ação subjetiva do enfermeiro cuidador a partir de sua relação com o doente oncológico, o qual é por ele cuidado. Diante de uma questão orientadora: O que significa para você cuidar em oncologia? descreva para mim, foram obtidos depoimentos os quais, após analisados, permitiram a compreensão do típico da ação do cuidador enfermeiro neste cotidiano. O cuidado de enfermagem em oncologia reveste-se de grande complexidade, requerendo do profissional uma competência que vai para além da esfera técnico-científica, com implicações em várias facetas do seu existir dado seu esforço para viabilizar um cuidado ético. Nesse sentido, ele necessita buscar por estratégias que lhe possibilite o enfrentamento do desgaste a que é submetido em seu trabalho. A Sociologia Fenomenológica de Schütz, mais que uma teoria compreensiva da ação social, evidenciou ser um recurso para desvelar os motivos existenciais dos enfermeiros que cuidam de pessoas acometidas por um câncer e que está em tratamento, levando-os à determinada atitude social. / This study aimed at the meaning of the action of caring attributed by the nurses who take care of persons who have a cancer and are in medical treatment. For so much, it goes for the lived experiences of those nurses in the daily oncologic nursing. The phenomenological referential, based on Alfred Schütz's ideas, made it possible to approach the nurse subjective action, having as fundament his/her relationship with the oncologic patient, which is cared by him/her. Starting with a guiding question: what does it mean for you to care in oncology? Describe it for me, there were obtained statements, which, after having been analyzed, allowed the understanding of the nurse typical action in his/her daily professional life. The oncologic nursing care is enwrapped with a great complexity, requesting of the professional a competence that goes farther than the technician-scientific sphere, with implications for several facets of his/her life given the effort to make an ethical care possible. In that sense, s/he needs to look for strategies that makes it possible to face the consummation that s/he is submitted in his/her work. Schütz’ phenomenological sociology, more than a comprehensive theory of the social action, evidenced to be a resource to unveil the existential motives of the nurse who takes care of oncological patients, leading him/her to a certain social attitude.

Aims: Eating disorder recovery is often supported by caregivers and mental health professionals. This research portfolio focuses on the experiences of supporting someone with an eating disorder from the perspective of the caregivers and also mental health professionals. The aims of this research portfolio are: Firstly, to systematically review the published qualitative literature relating to the experiences of caregivers supporting someone during eating disorder treatment; and secondly, to investigate the factors which may contribute to burnout, the factors which may protect against burnout and ways of managing work related stress for healthcare professionals who work in an eating disorder service. Method: A systematic review and meta-synthesis of caregiver experiences with eating disorder treatment was conducted. Searches identified 1927 studies of which 12 met the inclusion criteria for the study. Quality assessment revealed a number of strengths and also some limitations of the studies. For the research study ten healthcare professionals were interviewed on their experiences of supporting people with an eating disorder and ways of managing work related stress/burnout in this role. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyse the data. Results: Five major themes were identified from the systematic review: “access to treatment”, “key features of treatment”, “support for the caregiver”, “encounters with health care professionals” and “the future – hopes and fears”. The research study identified seven super-ordinate themes: “Dealing with Client Physical Health Risks”, “Working to Different Goals from the Client”, “Awareness of own Eating Patterns”, “Personal Accomplishment”, “Working Together as a Team”, “Working with Caregivers” and “Ways of Managing Work Related Stress”. Conclusions: The systematic review highlighted a number of clinical implications including the importance to caregivers of early intervention, the provision of practical, tailored information, support for the caregiver, the need for caregivers and professionals to work collaboratively and the importance of instilling hope in caregivers. The research study highlights potential contributors to burnout in eating disorder services as well as positive or protective factors to burnout. It also highlights ways of managing burnout through ensuring a work-life balance, utilising self-care strategies, self-reflection and realising recovery is not 'all or nothing'.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer la relación entre el Síndrome de Burnout y la Calidad de Vida Profesional en Policías de Lima Metropolitana. Para ello, se realizó un estudio de tipo correlacional y de diseño transversal en una muestra conformada por 200 efectivos policiales, de los cuales el 27.5% (55) son mujeres y el 72.5% (145) hombres, con edades entre los 19 y 60 años (M= 35.87). Los instrumentos utilizados fueron el Inventario de Burnout de Maslach y el Inventario de Calidad de Vida Profesional (CVP). Los resultados mostraron una correlación negativa y significativa entre la dimensión distanciamiento emocional con el apoyo directivo (rs = - .43; p < .001) y motivación intrínseca (rs = - .35; p < .001); por el contrario, una relación positiva y significativa con la carga de trabajo (rs = .59; p < .001). Adicionalmente, se encontró una correlación positiva y significativa entre la dimensión realización personal con el apoyo directivo (rs = .35; p < .001) y motivación intrínseca (rs = .44; p < .001); y de forma opuesta una correlación negativa y significativa con la carga de trabajo (rs = - .14; p < .05). The objective of the present study was to find out the relationship between Occupational Burnout and the Professional Life Quality of Police Officers in Metropolitan Lima. To accomplish this, a cross-sectional correlational study was carried out in a sample made up of 200 policemen from the Emergency Unit, from which 27.5% (55) are women and 72.5% (145) men, with ages between 19 and 60 years old (M = 35.87). The instruments used were the Maslach Burnout Inventory and the Professional Life Quality Inventory. The results showed a significant negative correlation between the emotional distancing dimension with direct support (rs = - .43; p <.001) and intrinsic motivation (rs = - .35; p <.001); on the other hand, a significant positive relationship with the workload (rs = .59; p <.001). Additionally, a significant positive correlation was found between the dimension of personal fulfillment with direct support (rs = .35; p <.001) and intrinsic motivation (rs = .44; p <.001); and in the opposite way a significant negative correlation with the workload (rs = - .14; p <.05). / Tesis
