A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of
Arts, University of the Witwatersrand
Johannesburg, in partial fulfillment of the
requirements for the degree of Master of
Arts in Clinical Psychology. Johannesburg, June, 1991. / This study investigates the coping style employed by people in
the helping professions, who are experiencing the phenomenon
known as Burnout. Burnout is conceptualized as one of the
serious negative. sequelae of prolonged stress evolved by
demanding occupational situations which involve work with people.
Investigation is made of the hypothesis that the coping
behaviours a person employs in response to stress will be
influenced by degree of burnout reported.
It was found that emotion focused coping is positively correlated
with emotional exhaustion and depersonalization - burnout components. problem focused coping is positively correlated with a second coping style, that of seeking social support. / AC2017
