The objective of this study was to investigate the contribution of burnout to the association between job strain and depression.
A representative sample of 3270 Finnish employees aged 30 to 64 years responded to the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey and the Beck Depression Inventory and participated in the Composite International Diagnostic Interview.
High strain compared with low strain was associated with 7.4 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 5.6-9.7) times higher odds of burnout, 3.8 (95% CI = 2.8-5.1) times higher odds of depressive symptoms, and 1.7 (95% CI = 1.1-2.6) times higher odds of depressive disorders. The risk for depressive symptoms and for depressive disorders of high strain was reduced by 69% or more after adjusting for burnout.
Burnout is strongly related to job strain and may in part mediate the association between job strain and depression.
本研究的目的是调查职业倦怠在工作压力与抑郁之间的关联中所起的作用。
对3270名年龄在30至64岁之间的芬兰员工进行了代表性抽样，这些员工对马氏职业倦怠量表通用版和贝克抑郁量表进行了回应，并参与了综合国际诊断访谈。
与低压力相比，高压力与职业倦怠的几率高7.4倍（95%置信区间[CI]=5.6-9.7）、抑郁症状的几率高3.8倍（95%CI=2.8-5.1）以及抑郁症的几率高1.7倍（95%CI=1.1-2.6）相关。在对职业倦怠进行调整后，高压力导致抑郁症状和抑郁症的风险降低了69%或更多。
职业倦怠与工作压力密切相关，并且可能在一定程度上介导了工作压力与抑郁之间的关联。
